Hi @InterestEmpire. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, it appears you're encountering an issue where your Wasp app is not running properly and displaying only a "You need to enable JavaScript to run this app" message. This is likely related to a problem with React not working correctly in your Wasp application.
A similar issue was reported by another user in the Discord support thread. The user mentioned that while login/signup screens worked, the dashboard screen was empty, showing only the noscript message:
Discord support thread: Unable to get react working.
To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:
1. Ensure that JavaScript is enabled in your browser. This message typically appears when JavaScript is disabled or not working properly.
2. Check your browser's console for any error messages that might provide more information about why React is not initializing correctly.
3. Verify that all required dependencies are installed correctly. You might want to try deleting your
node_modules folder and running npm install again.
4. Make sure you're using a compatible version of Node.js. As mentioned in the Wasp documentation, you should be using Node.js version 18 or higher:
Docs > Quick Start > More details > Requirements
5. If the issue persists, you may want to check your Wasp configuration and ensure that all necessary components and routes are properly set up.
If these steps don't resolve the issue, you might need to provide more detailed information about your setup and any error messages you're seeing in the browser console or terminal for further assistance.

Sorry @InterestEmpire, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist:
Perhaps try again in 15mins?Do you have Javascript disabled in your browser?
It is just the basic opensaas starter
I just setup the opensaas template 8 different times and 2 of them did that
Wohooo @InterestEmpire, you just became a Waspeteer level 2!
so you didn't make any changes to the open saas template code @InterestEmpire ? you just created a new template 8 times?
Some more info would be helpful!
yes, no changes.
I just updated my mac though a few days ago. I am going to uninstall everything and start with a fresh install and see if something is buggered.
@InterestEmpire definitely check the terminal where you started the app for any errors e.g. missing env vars or the Vite process crashing etc.
Also check the browser console for any issues (Right click > Inspect in most browsers)
I did check the console at the time and no errors
Ok, I just reinstalled everything and now the first time I created a blank project it is loading the boilerplate without any errors.
I just created 10 more and they all worked fine. Also just migrated one to typescript config and it works. I'm not sure what could have been wrong before.
Thanks guys
