Error is occuring when opening a file


11191

When I try opening file in my team project, nearly every time response is “An error occurred while opening the editor”

Sometimes, very rarely, I can open it and work, but when I close it, I can’t return to it.

How I can fix this?

Hi @Wayne3 ,
I’d appreciate if you could confirm:

  1. Does this issue occur if you try opening this file while connected to a different network (e.g. mobile hotspot)?
    If it’s just happening on one network, you may need to adjust your proxy VPN or firewall settings as shown in Technical troubleshooting tips or speak to your IT Admins or ISP. Generally for problems affecting a single network we’re not able to troubleshoot as it would require access to your system or network settings.

  2. Does this issue also occur if you try opening this file in a different browser or incognito window?
    Our supported browsers are Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. If it’s occurring in a specific browser, it may be helpful to try disabling any browser extensions or clearing your browser cache.

If these workarounds don’t help, please reach out directly to the team: here. Hope that helps!

hi guys, I’ve facing the same problem , error message “An error occurred while opening the editor” while opening file too.

to solve this, try to duplicate the file, then reopen again the file (original file or the duplicate ones) okay…
and that should work, now you can open your original file again.

In the app, you can delete cookies through DevTools. Launch DevTools (Opt + Cmd + i), open the “Application” tab, select the “Storage” section. Uncheck or check the checkboxes and click the “Clear site data” button.
