Quick answer

Test mode that hangs or errors is usually a build failure under the hood. Rebuild, check custom code and dependencies, or run locally.

Most likely fix: Rebuild and reload

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Rebuild and reload

    1. Close the test mode session
    2. Start a fresh test mode run
