Good Morning sir @ewpatton,

I am having some bugs and It can be fixed if I can stop Appinventor to open my last modified project automatically on refresh. I searched all repo but didn't seen where is the code written to open last modified project ? Do you know where it is written ? If yes, Please let me know.

Thanks

You should be able to use this link to open App Inventor without automatically loading the last project (http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/?autoload=false). Furthermore, you can permanently disable autoloading a project by using the corresponding option in the Settings menu once you've loaded App Inventor.

I am a developer(Java). I want to do changes in Appinventor source code

What bugs are being caused by App Inventor automatically opening a project? If it's a deeper problem with App Inventor it should be fixed but you're not really providing enough information for us to act on.

I am doing changes locally in Appinventor. I have some bugs caused by my codes. I have cloned Appinventor Sources. I have created something in my local sources which is giving error on Refresh but I am not sure it's giving error while opening project or loading project page as both are done at same time because of Auto Load.

Probably the easiest way to turn this off globally, if that's what you intend, is to modify Ode.shouldAutoloadLastProject() to return false.

          public User getUser() {
            return user;
          }
          
          
/**
           * Checks whether autoloading of the user's previous project should be
           * performed.
           *
           * @return true if autoloading should be performed, otherwise false.
           */
          public boolean shouldAutoloadLastProject() {
            String autoloadParam = Window.Location.getParameter("autoload");
            if ("false".equalsIgnoreCase(autoloadParam)) {
              return false;
            } else if ("true".equalsIgnoreCase(autoloadParam)) {
              return true;
            }
            return getUserAutoloadProject();
          }
