Local works until I restart the app (sites without wordpress installed....)

[joshuasopko]

So I’ve upgraded my Macbook pro to the latest Local, Latest VB, and latest MacOS hoping that would resolve my issues. It did…until I restart Local.

I am able to start Local, pull down a site, make changes, and push the changes. Great! But then if I take a break or restart my computer and launch Local, the same site I was just working on now no longer has the ability to push or pull because of the error, ‘Sites without wordpress installed are not supported’ error. If I disconnect the site and try to repull it and overwrite the existing site, I get an Uh Oh, something went wrong error.

Any thoughts on this? It’s like 40% fixed, can we get it the rest of the way fixed PLEASE? Support help?

Hey @joshuasopko –

When you restart the Local and have a site active (ie, clicked on in the app), can you try clicking on another site and then clicking back to the original site?

Does that help remove the error message?

I’ll be a monkey’s uncle. HOW DOES THAT WORK?!

When you posted this response I only had one site connected (because I wiped everything out until Local seems stable again). So I re pulled and connected another site and it worked.

I just stopped all sites and shut down the app and restarted all the things. When I reloaded everything, both sites had the options greyed out for pushing and pulling and said *Checking compatability for about 60-70 seconds. Then they turned green!

Crazy solution though? Will this be fixed? Thanks for the tip, tho. This is AWESOME it’s working…mostly. Thanks @ben.turner

Thanks for that feedback @joshuasopko

That seems to be a workaround as we narrow in on the specific bug as to what is causing it. I’m glad you got it working!
