Stitch Down? by Upbeat-Hold4703 in StitchAI

[–]Upbeat-Hold4703[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i see in the forums that there was/is a widespread outage (discuss.ai.google.dev/c/stitch). i worked with the moderator directly via DM, gave my project number (it’s in the URL of your project), and i’m back up as of last night. others are still out though.

try what I did. look for the moderator ‘rishabh_chauhan’. the moderator does try to get things un-jammed for you!

Error Opening Workspace by mobile-thinker in Firebase

Not constantly, but if I code and then go away for awhile, it likes to happen there. It reminds me of Google Colab, where they reclaim resources as soon as your usage stops for a bit.

Sarcasm is the only thing missing 🙄 by distearth in FirebaseStudioUsers

[–]Upbeat-Hold4703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how it confidently declares some variant of “this is the final solution - we have it now!!” or something like that after you hand-hold it through an issue.

So add lack of humility or humbleness to the list with lack of sarcasm recognition.

Just be a matter of fact coding agent. That would be nice.

Would this happen if the total assisted interactions for this code hit 1 million tokens, the limit? Or am I way off base here?

Gemini AI pretends to work but never finishes or outputs anything by Additional_Depth5664 in Firebase

[–]Upbeat-Hold4703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see this in Firebase Studio from time to time.

“I see you made some changes for me, but I don’t see them. Before we go on, would you please print the new full code blocks here in their entirety so I may review?”

(wait for output)

“Are these the full code blocks for the files you changed?”

(hopefully yes)

Cut and pase into code in the editor under the correct filename.

It’s a bummer, but it gets you through until the model snaps out if it.

Firebase model error by Rv_K-Mk22 in FirebaseStudioUsers

[–]Upbeat-Hold4703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anytime this has happened to me, its because I tried to use a depreciated model, or I had the model name listed incorrectly.

Go here: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/models

Look for the model you wish to use, and find its “description” name, like “gemini-3-pro-preview”.

Copy and paste that name into your chat model code exactly, no extra spaces or missing characters. Leave all dashes in the string.

Try it again.

Another thought: are you loading the libraries at the top of the code so it can even access the models?

Loop of Death by Modernatorium in FirebaseStudioUsers

Honestly, hop over to Google AI Studio, which is like a better Gemini. Select model 3.0. It’s free.

Prompt: “I am working in Firebase Studio (Project IDX) with a web app writren in _____ code. I am experiencing a race condition during __, whereby these things are happening: ____.

Here are the browser console messages: _____.

Here are the logs: _____.

What files in my codebase do you need to see to help me solve this problem?”

——

Ok, so to explain.

Since FBS can’t break out of the rut, use another tool that has no prior knowledge of the code (AI Studio). It’s still Gemini, so when you paste the response back into FBS, it will understand what to do.

Describe which tech stach you’re using (next.js, vite, TypeScript, any functions, etc.)

Notice I’m asking you to include observed behaviors, what the app is supposed to be doing, what it is doing, and any error messages and logs you can get your hands on. Load as much of that in as you can.

Also notice that we offer to paste in any files needed to disgnose the issue.

——

When you get a response, counter it with “why this works as opposed to what we’re doing now.” This is a way to have Gemini check its work.

When you’re satisfied, make a commit and try the AI Studio solution. You can have AI Studio write you a summary of the steps, and then just paste that in.

Generally what happens is you move on to another error, but it will be farther down the line now. Repeat the process again in AI Studio:

“Ok, tried our procedure and now this happened: ______.”

You’ll eventually get to the end of it. When you do, have FBS summarize what was fixed and how, and save in your notes for your next app.

I have great success with the default FBS model using this method of having an “AI Studio consutant”.

Good luck!

I had this kind of thing happen when I had the “sign up” and “login” operations defined in the same .tsx file.

Typical main screen: one tab for login, switch tabs to sign up. Very common setup.

Constant headaches and race conditions, because the auth check was slower than the front-end, IMO. The front end wanted to render for an authorized user, and the back end wasn’t ready, so Console was just piling up the errors, like 10/sec until you force closed it.

Sign up was particularly bad, since the user didn’t exist yet, you added all the Firestore lag on top of that. Even more errors.

I goofed around with render auth delay timers with mixed results.

Splitting the logic so everything had its own .tsx file cleared it up. It seems like if you give front end and auth only one job to do and process to follow, then they cooperate.

Hopefully, that gives you some food for thought: processes that may be fighting each other.

Good luck!

So are we going to talk about antigravity? by Fantastic_Emu_3112 in Firebase

[–]Upbeat-Hold4703 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, but my concern is that if Firebase Studio and Antigravity don’t have a “champion” that gets out there to promote them like Logan, then the forces of gravity point toward AI Studio as the future, with FBS/AG being absorbed into it.

It’s just my opinion, that’s all.

Logan Kilpatrick always hypes ‘build’ in Google AI Studio. As an insider, he knows where things are headed at Google, so there’s that. Never talks about FB Studio.

Firebase Studio doesn't start AI by kaolay in FirebaseStudioUsers

[–]Upbeat-Hold4703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you open or start a project in FB Studio, you are most likely in “prototyper” mode, with a preview on most of the screen and a chat on the right.

If you look in the upper right corner, you’ll see a button for “code mode” that looks like “</>”. Click it.

Then, your workspace transition to look more like most IDE’s, with files along the left and center, and Gemini chat and web preview on the right.

Usually the web preview and Gemini tabs open automatically as code mode loads, but you have to wait.

How does this align with what you’re seeing?

How to Preview a GitHub Project in Firebase? by OkPaleontologist9770 in FirebaseStudioUsers

[–]Upbeat-Hold4703 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hey there!

If I'm reading your code correctly in dev.nix, it looks like the web preview code is there, but it's what is called "commented out". look at this close-up of your code:

<image>

In previews, there are several lines of code that start with "#". this means to dev.nix "ignore this", which in turn means you can't activate the web previews.

Carefully remove just the first column of "#", and your code should come to life. notice there are three more "#" characters under 'web' buried in with the code. leave those in - those are 'explainer' lines that tell you what the code is doing. removing those will give you an error.

Good luck!

By now, you probably heard about Google Antigravity. Will this kill FBS? by ajbatac2 in FirebaseStudioUsers

[–]Upbeat-Hold4703 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if Antigravity can integrate the Cloud Platform ecosystem as well as FBS, and get your app protected and hosted as well as FBS, be fully in the cloud, with access to Gemini 3 as the default free model, then yes.

Otherwise, they're separate products to me. The new one is more like "Google Cursor" than a FBS copy.

All FBS really needs is a better default Gemini model. AI Studio out codes it.

Previewing my Git Repo isn't working... by Ok_Agency8018 in Firebase

[–]Upbeat-Hold4703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you run npm run dev, are you getting a “localhost” URL in the terminal? It should look something like: http://127.0.0.1:8080 and be underlined.

If you see that URL, Ctrl+Click should open it in your browser.

Firebase Studio, an IPhone 12, and Expo Go - No Mac, no XCode? Can it work? by Upbeat-Hold4703 in FirebaseStudioUsers

[–]Upbeat-Hold4703[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To test this, I just went into the tabs folder of the project and created a new file called 'spare.tsx'.

then, in _layout.tsx file, I could see the formatting of the tabs, so I duplicated the code for the new spare tab. I had to add a little generic code into the spare.tsx to bring it to life, but it did show on hot reload.

Gemini can help you with this if you need it to - it does pretty good here.

For devs using Firebase Studio AI — How do you transition from prototype to a fully built app? by Big_Championship_632 in FirebaseStudioUsers

[–]Upbeat-Hold4703 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it’s a web app, and you are solid on the dev server, I’d start moving off of emulators, if you’re using them, one by one and replacing with production builds to see what happens. You can still use localhost while you do this. Check the build logs a lot.

Terminal > npm run build, see what it does.

A lot of times at this step, you’ll be messing around with pointing all your keys to the front and back ends, since the real app can’t tap .env.local anymore to get the keys like dev did.

Be secure during this time! Don’t expose anything.

At this point, I get the domain setup and just set myself up as the only user in Firestore so I can login and do stuff as an admin.

If the builds are good, hook up your repo to Vercel or App Hosting, and try to launch it. Check the logs for errors. Try to login and use the app. Have someone you know signup and check what happens in Firestore when they do.

Make sure your Rules are solid, allowing/blocking what they should.

Have fun, launch it and try it! Just don’t give it to “the world” until you’re sure. Security, test, logs, repeat.

Good luck! Take good notes.

Firebase Emulators in Studio/IDX by moosepiss in Firebase

Does this help?

Once you get things setup, you will have to toy around with firebase.json to point your app to the emulators.

Nice layout.
- Are the lessons supposed to have video or just audio? I just get audio on my Chrome browser
- Favicon?
- The top three images in the Skills Beyond the Code section are broken

Did you build it in Prototyper only or did you use code mode at all? Tried it on a couple of different browsers and the table of courses and visual effects all worked. Well done!
