Description

p5.js version

1.11.13

What is your operating system?

None

Web browser and version

Google Chrome 150.0.7871.187 (Official Build) (arm64)

Actual Behavior

Whenever I try to save my p5js file, it displays an error message saying "Failure to save." I've tried quitting and reopening Google Chrome, but the issue still persists. Also, it was once temporarily fixed when I signed out and signed back in, but I started having issues again after editing it.

I'm not really sure if it actually doesn't save because sometimes it says saved ___ seconds ago, despite there being a message saying "Failure to save". However, I think it really doesn't save because when I tried reloading the page my progress was gone.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the save failure in Google Chrome 150.0.7871.187 using the reported p5.js Editor workflow, then compare the displayed save status with the result after reloading. The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point; done means the project reliably retains edits after pressing Save and reloading without showing “Failure to save.”
