Description

Screenshot 2024-09-16 203012

This is really irritating after working for some many hours on the project. When i tried to make the project public and what i saw is
nothing but a continuous loading black screen.

This is happening when

  1. when i tried to make my project live. (button on the right corner)
  2. when i tried to change the node version of my project. After adding a devcontainer file with specific node version. after refreshing its stopped opening the workspace.

Refreshing the page completely ruined the Workspace setup.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the black screen after making a project live and after changing the Node version through a devcontainer file. Compare both workspace-opening paths and use the attached screenshot as the symptom reference. Done means the workspace opens normally in both reported scenarios.
