App Checker Stuck

(3) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 234

Hi All,

 

When I make a change to an expression, the app checker runs but frequently gets stuck for a while/indefinitely. I can usually continue editing my app and the App Checker will eventually catch up, but it shows some strange behaviours. For example, the built in conditional formatting to highlight controls, variables and functions does this:

 

Criptop_0-1704204589291.png

 

(note that the conditional formatting, both highlight and text, is incorrect)

 

And the App Checker will check indefinitely:

Criptop_1-1704204655471.png

 

I can close and restart which will solve the problem, but then I lose any unsaved work and the problem will eventually re-emerge. Power Apps Editor will hang on "Closing..." or "Please Wait..." indefinitely when I try and close the app, so I usually have to close my browser and reload. When I reload, the App is locked to Read-Only, so I keep reloading/clicking Override until I can edit it again.

 

This previous question discusses a similar problem - Can I turn off checker - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

There is an Idea to turn off the App Checker here - Disable check for errors · Community (powerapps.com)

 

I've had this problem for a long time (6+ months) but have put up with it. Now it's gotten much worse and is really hindering productivity because the Editor experience is slower. There are no errors in the app, although it's complexity is above average.

 

Is anyone else experiencing this same issue or have any potential solutions/things to try?

    @Criptop ,

     

    Have you found a solution for this ? I'm also having the same issue where the Checking is hanging

    Hi @Rana,

     

    No I didn't find a solution. In my case, it gradually improved and then resolved itself over the course of 3 or 4 days. I still occasionally encounter the issue with the conditional formatting, but the App Checker function has been working consistently for me.

     

    Please let me know if you come across a solution or anything that helps improve performance.
