If I try to access my package.json file on my project bongo-bot all my devices freeze or crash. Help!!
EDIT: It seems like the debugger checks the file before opening it or something and then causes it to hang.
EDIT 2: If you’re still having a problem either export the project and look for the red error marks on your package.json OR use ‘nano package.json’ and try to self-debug the file looking for dumb mistakes like a comma after the last dependency.
Could you post a link for your project so we can help?
I can reproduce, if I access my project it goes to package.json and crashes 
EDIT: Seems unfixable unless higher ups repair the container.
you can just look it up but here’s the link: https://glitch.com/~bongo-bot
The link is broken can you post another link?
Privato. But it seems to be an issue as I have the same
i made it public now if you want to retry the link
Actually nevermind just doing ‘’‘npm install’’’ fixed it
Hmm might be my issue too as I used the wrong installer by installing a package using the npm module
Edit: Uh multiple projects are starting to do this now
Try removing these
"engines": {
“node”: “8”
},
Try putting this
"version: "0.0.1"
Instead of
"version" '
As I said it crashes when accessing package.json
DM Me with a join invite so i can see where is the problem
Hey @Sem1084 I’m not encountering this when I access https://glitch.com/edit/#!/bongo-bot?path=package.json:1:0, on my laptop or iPhone. Are you still seeing this issue?
My project is called readthedocs, but I am experience this on my 3 latests projects
I also have this problem in one of my projects… Tried every browser i had and i could not get it fixed.
Try creating a new one, before opening any others
Oh, sorry about that, @Sem1084; I misread the thread.
I can reproduce this on ~readthedocs, but not on @anon17346778’s ~bongo-bot.
@AXRAY23, welcome to the Glitch forum, and sorry for the bother. Can you give us some example projects you’re seeing this on?
Also (although I’m doubtful this is the issue) can everyone who’s seeing this let us know what browser, operating system (and device model, if appropriate) you’re seeing this on?
I am having this with my project “bewnce2” now, whenever I open the package.json, the whole window becomes unresponsive. I have to put ?path=server.js:24:0 after the link, to open the project without it going straight into package.json.
Running the latest version of chrome - stable
On windows 10 - Medion Akoya
Don’t worry! So far:
npm install is a fixEDIT: See message above!
When I do this it still crashes but does show server.js.
I managed to solve mine by going to the console and using nano to edit my package.json and deleting a few things and after that npm install…
Hi! Well i thought i fixed it but it’s still going… I’m havin this on my project ~bedothebot . Can you see if you can reproduce it?
@cori Could you fix my Package.json. I wanted to remove Quick.db
@cori could you also fix mine because i need to work on something quick…
I’m experiencing the same problem. And YES! It’s the package.json.
After a long time, the project unfreezes but if I touch the package.json, it freezes all over again.
Glitch freezes for about 10-15 minutes. Then I can perform 1 action on the package.json (like hit enter or paste 1 thing) then Glitch will freeze once more for 10-15 minutes.
If I work on any other file, Glitch is working fine.
This seems to be an issue and I am still experiencing this
I was having the same issue yesterday after changing some things in package.json. It appears that the json is parsed before it is even rendered so it fails so to fix it:
nano package.json) and edited itrefresh to upload the changes to the container running the code 
I have fixed my issue:
default branch
package.json, make sure all the red (erroring code) is gone and saveMight be a chance you’ll have to run npm install in the project console
Hey folks we did have a new issue crop up overnight that we pushed out a fix for earlier today. Please let us know if you’re still seeing issues.
I just fixed my issue sir. So I cannot reproduce!
I’m still having an issue. I mean it’s been fine for past 2 hours or so as I haven’t touched package.json. But I need to update one of my dependencies so now it’s frozen again lol. I haven’t applied the solution to export to github and then import it back. Maybe I should do that in the future, but for now I can’t import because the site is frozen.
Thanks for the fast response. Yes I fixed the issue quite quickly by just doing ‘npm install’ so the issue is fixed
