Thanks for the report @ruchirg! That's a good opportunity to brush up error reporting – the site should explain exactly which fetch failed instead of showing a general error moda.

By a peculiar coincidence, I've just ran into the same error. Turns out, I was running low on disk space and Chrome refused to serve the request to download WordPress.zip. I've cleaned up some space and now I can see this:

I see reports of a similar problem in axios/axios#6358. The error is weird in that chrome doesn't even tell us which request failed or why. I don't see any way we can report a more useful error here — I'm happy to revisit it if anyone has an idea.

@ruchirg can you confirm the disk space was indeed an issue for you? And, if not, would updating the browser, restarting, etc. help? I don't think "Failed to fetch" without any stacktrace involved is related to anything Playground is doing.

I'll add that I found the request fails only by stepping through the execution and realizing which line causes problems. Then, I confirmed pasting this in devtools failed:

(await fetch('/@fs/Adam/wordpress-playground/packages/playground/wordpress-builds/src/wordpress/wp-6.8.zip')).blob()

The failure mode was interesting, too. The network panel showed a new request that said 200 ERR_FAILED.

Interestingly, it still worked in incognito mode.

My read is it's either the disk space, the service worker storage quota, or both interacting together.

@ruchirg thank you for the video! Unfortunately I don't be of much help without these data points I've asked for above:

@ruchirg can you confirm the disk space was indeed an issue for you? And, if not, would updating the browser, restarting the computer, etc. help?

I have plenty of disk space, and the issue does not occur in Firefox. The “Failed to fetch” error still appears in Chrome despite using the latest version and restarting the browser.
and error is generate very early at the starting point.

Thank you for confirming @ruchirg? Is there anything different at all about your Chrome setup? Such as an enterprise profile, firewall rules, different proxy setup, ad blockers etc? Does that Blueprint work in private mode? If yes, that's a good indication it's related to some extension or a configuration option. If not, let's keep discussing.
