Bolt app not working? Debug the generated app directly
Once a Bolt project is in source control, most failures can be approached like any other web application: reproduce the symptom, inspect the failing boundary, make the smallest fix, then verify the original path.
WHAT THIS USUALLY LOOKS LIKE
- A generated feature stopped working after changes.
- The app builds in one environment but fails in another.
- An integration works partially or silently fails.
- Fix attempts create new regressions.
LIKELY FAILURE AREAS
Code regression
Generated edits can change shared components, state or API contracts outside the requested feature.
Dependency/build mismatch
Package versions, runtime versions or build settings may differ between environments.
External integration
The source may be correct while credentials, webhooks, permissions or provider configuration are not.
CHECK THESE FIRST
- Reproduce from a clean checkout.
- Read console, network and server/deployment errors.
- Run build, lint and available tests.
- Compare the relevant changes against a known-good commit.
- Verify the repaired path in the deployed application.
WHAT WE NEED TO INVESTIGATE IT
- GitHub repository
- Deployed URL
- Reproduction steps
Do not paste passwords, private API keys or other secrets into the public submission form. We request additional access only after scope review when it is actually required.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Do you need my Bolt account?+
Not necessarily. Repository access is usually the starting point; service access is requested only if the failure lives outside the code.
What is a verified fix?+
A change is not considered verified merely because code was generated. The original failure path should be reproduced and checked after the change.
