Cloud outage?

[insert_user_name]

I can't save this project, it's not showing anything other than "Saving project to the cloud..."

I'm not aware of any more information I can provide, I think I should mention that I did run this script, which might have been the cause.

In all fairness, I probably should have asked if using Snap's letter avatar thing was also against the rules like trying to access the cloud.

I feel like something else worth noting is that when I press ctrl+s, it also displays the dialog for saving the page. like I had caps lock on, as apparent from the text I am currently writing, that is not the case.

I also tried saving from the menu dialog option, same thing

What is this?

All of the code in the project:

I tried getting a result pic from the only variable in the project, but I guess it should be obvious what it is set to given the scripts. The variable was also marked as "transient"

All I can tell you is that I'm able to load/save projects without an issue so its not an issue affecting everyone.

The first thing to do is export the project, so you have a local copy of the project.

I have a feeling that the costume from url is indeed the problem. Try deleting the costume, and then saving the project.

I can't save my projects... I'm not aware of any more information I can provide, I think I should mention that I did run this script, which might have been the cause.

I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to use this as a primer on debugging.

1. "I can't save my projects," plural. Oh, but wait, this is a weird project. So, before reporting a Snap! bug, maybe try saving some other project? Open a fresh Snap! tab, drag out a MOVE 10 STEPS block, and hit ^S.

2. Okay, so now we know there's a problem with this project, rather than with the cloud. Two problems, actually: the nothing-happens problem and the SecurityError problem. And, from what I can see, two candidates for the cause: the LETTER COSTUME block and the clipboard.writeText JS function. So, make two new projects: (1) one with just that JS Function block, and (2) one with just
   

   
   
   and see what happens when you try saving and/or exporting them (after running the block). Then you can start doing web searches to see why whichever candidate problem it turns out to be isn't savable.

That's a Dialog feature, not a Snap! feature; I had to search to find out what it does. I don't think it hurts us for you to do that, as long as you don't flood the forum with requests.

I made another project which uses the clipboard feature, so it's most likely something going on with image urls.

I have a feeling that the costume from url is indeed the problem.

It usually is. I was messing with the block and tried to get a costume from an emoji and that's exactly what happened.

My educated guess is it was trying to save a tainted image as a data URI, as it does in the project XMLs, but it can't, because it's unsafe, so instead of saving, it stalls.
