Every time I try to open a game I was working on in MakeCode’s web editor, I am getting an error “Sorry, we could not load this project”. I have an image version from a few days ago that I saved to be able to get it back, but I’ve lost a lot of work on it. It’s not being committed to github, so I don’t have that way of getting it back without losing a lot of progress. I have tried making a copy (it won’t copy) and Open in a new tab. I’m writing to report the bug, hopefully someone at Microsoft will see this and try to fix it so it doesn’t happen to others.
How it happened: I was in the middle of working on the game in MakeCode’s web editor when my computer shut down (it ran out of battery). I had just added an extension and there were some errors that I was trying to address.
What I would expect: If the project really is in a broken state, I wish that I could get to the revision history to revert the project to a previous save. It seems like this should be possible from the All Projects list as an action, e.g. View Revision History.
Browser console: here’s what I see in the browser console when I try to load it:
