Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 14,013 PointsWorkspace connection lost
I tried restarting and even updated Chrome but I'm still running into connection issues with workspaces.
This started when I copied the installation steps he shows in this video: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/installing-local-packages
I noticed that the version number for NPM was different, and the bcrypt version gave different output than what was shown on screen. Despite this I followed the installation steps he was showing in this video, which was probably a mistake. (I installed the python commands he was showing, etc.)
I wasn't having problems with workspaces until I did this and I'm wondering if the workspace needs to be reset somehow? I know that my Internet connection is not the problem.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 14,013 PointsHi, yeah ... I could only get it to work inconsistently. I remember I ended up downloading the files and working locally.

4,380 PointsYep I'm having the same issue too. I haven't resolved the problem yet either, but I already have Node and NPM installed locally anyway, so I'm guessing that's probably what I'll end up needing to do. Did you guys ever resolve the issue? Doron Geyer John Brady
