[Bug]: Unable to access existing snippets, or create new one

[ondrovic]

Describe the bug

Fresh install, unable to open existing db.json file, unable to create new items

To reproduce

Opening developer tools in masscode results in this
It appears that the api server might no be running like it's supposed to be, there are similar issues round snippets being lost, but I think this is the reason behind it

Update on this: I was temporarily able to get this resolved by uninstalling again, cleaning out my %appdata%, and registry values. Then I did a reboot, reinstall and reboot again. It seems to be works as of right now, will update this post over the next couple days or so if something changes.

[antonreshetov]

Unfortunately I don't have windows 11, I'm a mac user. Apparently port 3033 is busy or blocked (could be a firewall or something else)

[ondrovic]

@antonreshetov agreed it was just weird because it had been working fine, more than likely something os related for sure. It has been working fine ever since, so I'll close this for now.

[ondrovic]

Re opening this it happened again after a reboot today

[ondrovic]

So mine again was the port issue, I downloaded the source code and changed the port to something else and launched it and all the snippets showed up again.

@antonreshetov maybe making the API_PORT a preference item so it can be changed (as there seems to be something on windows that sometimes uses that same port) 🤷 looks like there is already a discussion item here about it
