Running on your computer

The app shows a blank or error page on your computer

What you see
localhost:3000 is empty, white, or shows an error overlay.
Why it happens
Something broke while building or running the page. The details are in the browser console and in the terminal.
How to fix it
  1. Copy the error text from the page or the terminal (remove any key first).
  2. Give it to your agent with the report format: what you did, expected and got.
  3. If it worked a moment ago, ask to go back to the last version that worked.

Message for your agent

My app shows a blank page at localhost:3000. Read the terminal and the browser console, find the root cause, fix it, and add a test so it can't come back.

Tip

How to prevent it: Small steps with a checkpoint after each make these easy to undo.

Still stuck?Report it to your agent, clearly
