Can no longer preview running applications - VFS connection does not exist

0

I have multiple environments set up to run Wordpress in the Cloud9 IDE where I can work on our themes. For each environment I've been using the internal PHP server as the running, starting that, then simply previewing the running application, opening the preview in a new tab, and away I go.

Now I cannot preview any of the applications. I've tried multiple and run into the same "OOPS VFS connection does not exist" error.

I know this is a common error and I have researched all the possible ways to debug. Here is what I have done so far:

  • Stopped all instances, logged out of AWS, logged back in, started instances, tried again
  • Cleared all cookies
  • Disabled all browser extensions
  • Confirmed that all environments are stored, loaded and previewed in the same region (us-west-2)

I am currently running the latest Chrome browser on a Chromebook and have had no problems running Cloud9 and previewing PHP applications in the past. Also, I assume since I still have access to the IDE then no change is required to my IAM user policies.

Please let me know what else I can try. As of now I am basically locked out of all new development on all of my projects because of this error.

Hi Dan!

Sorry to hear that you have issues using Cloud9 in Chrome.

Could you please check if changing the following steps helps:

  1. open a new blank page in Chrome and type "chrome://flags/"
  2. There please check following options are set to "Disabled":
  • SameSite by default cookies
  • Enable removing SameSite=None cookies
  • Cookies without SameSite must be secure

Let us know if it helps to resolve the issue in Chrome.

  • I see it working also in Chrome, but not with Safari, not sure if we have known issue with it

Update: I just downloaded Firefox and tried that and everything worked fine. So clearly the issue is with Chrome.

I am currently running version Version 84.0.4147.127 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I have third-party cookies turned on and I have tried clearing cookies and turning off extensions but it still doesn't work.

Any other ideas?
