Issue:
MIT App Inventor was working this morning (6:00~7:30 AM), however now around (12:00) I'm unable to work on my project on the (ai2.appinventor.mit.edu) at all.
When logging in, I get an error message: "Server error: could not retrieve project information. Please try again later!".
Opening my current project leads to the error message: "Server error: could not save settings. Please try again later!"
I'm not able to change screens. It looks like I can still drag and edit components, and I managed to open Screen1's (the only accessible screen) blocks mode. Doing so leads to error message: "Server error: could not save one or more files. Please try again later!". From there I try to change screens, leading to the error message that an internal error has occured. The screen is white.
After the above, I restart the website and cleared my cache.
I get the same error message when I log in. My project is now missing from the list. Clicking on the list header causes another internal error.
After the above, I restart the website again. The project re-appears. The error message shows: "Server error: could not load file. Please try again later!"
I'm able to switch screens now, but going to the blocks mode causes an internal error. The components list on the left disappears and blocks mode doesn't activate. I try switching screens multiple times, Screen1 is the only screen that can activate blocks mode.
Info:
After everything...
Screen1 has no issue with switching from Designer to Blocks and vice versa.
"game" and "menu" can be switched to, but both cause an internal error when switching to blocks mode. Both cause the components list on the left to disappear, and switching to Designer mode causes an internal error but does nothing. Switching between the two does nothing, but switching back to Screen1 has no issue.
Trying to create a checkpoint causes the error message: "Server error: could not copy project. Please try again later!"
So far it looks like my project cannot be recovered.
I tried signing out and logging back in and then got a blank, white screen with text:
First try:
"Request failed: Unexpected exception from servlet: com.google.appengine.api.datastore.DatastoreFailureException: Internal Datastore Error."
Second try:
Server error: could not load settings. Please try again later!
What I have tried:
Disabled project auto-load.
Deleted Browser history (including cache).
Restarted the website.
Logging in and out.
I'd really appreciate an MIT looking at my project through my account because I'm unable to view Blocks on certain screens. But it's on a different email/account and I'll message it if they do see this
