This page provides guidance on troubleshooting GitHub Codespaces.
Troubleshooting tips
-
If your Codespace freezes during setup, try stopping and restarting it using the command:
Codespaces: Stop Current Codespace. -
Since the mock server and the frontend are run in watch mode, you can technically update the code in real-time and see those changes reflected in the Codespace URL.
-
Logging the request and response within the mock server endpoints can be helpful when verifying mock server interactions.
-
It is also possible to share a Codespace with another user that also has access to the GitHub organization. The VS Code Live Share extension can be used to generate a sharing URL for the editor, and also the various terminals when required.
Note: Codespaces will spin down after a period of inactivity. If you're running a longer research session, you may need to keep the container active or rebuild it.
