Hi.
I updated the Brave browser and now it looks like all my work in Remix is gone. I can’t even open new files. It seems like Remix done an upgrade to the UI.

Looks like this, and when I click “New file” nothing happens.

Ey, I fixed it. I had to do “Migrate old filesystem to workspace”.

Hi, so many times I saw that issue was around lately. besides Workspace feature I wanna share another way of working in remix.

We can study with the files which we host in our computers without any chance to lose them instead of caching in browsers. This also keeps the codes private.

To do:

  • Download remixd: npm i -g remixd
  • run: remixd -s /project_folder/ http://remix.ethereum.org
  • remix webpage, choose workspace: localhost

Notes:
NodeJS required
/project_folder/ is the place that the files are gonna be saved. Regular path, nothing tricky. Maybe requires " "

Hi.
Thanks for the tip. Works as far as the connection to localhost. Remix can’t find the deamon running in the background. I’ve tried a few different variants.

Hi again,
sorry i missed your question.

  • Please try http instead of HTTPS at the remix url.
  • To make it guarantee, keep your path inside (") double quotes, 'cos you had to use an escape chararacter, i’m not sure but it might cause a syntax error.

Where is that?
