Debugging not working

[somethingsomething88]

Hello,

after installation, I can access the WebIDE but when I attempt to debug, the status stays at initializing and I never see the red line popping up. Visualizer loads forever.

During installation, I also saw a few warnings:

**** Installing webide dependencies ****
npm WARN [email protected] requires a peer of kerberos@~0.0 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.
npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: [email protected] (node_modules/fsevents):
npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for [email protected]: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"linux","arch":"arm"})

up to date in 22.564s
**** Adding default .bashrc file for webide user ****

**** Commands: sudo systemctl {start,stop,restart} adafruit-webide ****
**** Navigate to http://raspberrypi.local:8080 to use the WebIDE

Thanks.

Any resolution to this? I'm having the same issue. I didn't have the install errors, but run/debug do not work.
UPDATE: I just rebooted (for the first time since installation ) and now it is working.

I saw the above warnings too...but I don't think they are the culprit.

Found the following in the syslog:
