@George @Teodor I need guidance to why it’s not loading and how to fix it. Thanks in advance

Update - it’s loading but I’m missing one project and the projects don’t load when unless I refresh. When I attempt to open the existing project folder that isn’t loading the project doesn’t appear.

try this:

Reinstall Wappler from scratch

Sometimes you need to do a completely clean install of Wappler. You won’t be losing anything as Wappler is fully self containing and also your project preferences are stored in the project folders. You will only loose your projects list but you can recreate it easily later on with the “Open Existing Folder” option in the Wappler Project Manager. Here is how to do a full clean reinstall: On Windows Close Wappler and its launcher by right clicking on the tray icon and choosing Quit on Window…

Thanks George - while I didn’t need this at this point of development I am happy to have learned more about the Wappler structure - Business interfered with development plans today. I expect to completely reinstall tomorrow.

The comments in the instructions about the configuration file got me to researching it.

One of the projects.json got some data and duplicated a couple lines. I started recreating the Wappler’s project.json and found the addition of one project consistently duplicated the issue. Diff’ed the individual project.json with another project that installed correctly, removed and everything is back.
