💡 Troubleshooting Thimble.io IDE – Compile and Upload Issues
If you're encountering a compiler “Error” during the Compile and Upload process in Thimble.io, please follow the steps below:
Ensure the correct file is selected:
In the Thimble.io IDE, select the code option from the menu in the upper left hand corner. This will open the editor.
From the project sidebar, make sure you have selected the.inofile that matches your project name before attempting to compile.Refresh the browser before uploading:
If the error persists, we recommend refreshing the browser each time students make changes to the code and are ready to compile and upload. This helps reset any cached sessions or hardware connection issues and ensures a smoother upload process.
Do student work automatically get saved in Thimble.io IDE?
Yes! All project progress is automatically saved within the IDE, so students can return and continue their work exactly where they left off.
