Lovable Stuck in an Error Loop

How to fix it

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

1. 1. Diagnose before building

   Copy steps
   1. Switch to Chat or Plan mode
   2. Describe what you see and what you expected
   3. Ask Lovable to investigate before changing code
   Did this fix it? Yes No

2. 2. Revert to the last working version

   Copy steps
   1. Open project history
   2. Revert to the version before the error started
   3. Redo the change in smaller steps
   Did this fix it? Yes No

3. 3. Take over the code

   Copy steps
   1. Connect Git sync (works on any plan)
   2. Open the repo in your own editor and fix the stubborn part directly
   Did this fix it? Yes No
