Can't run WordPress – cloning the repository gets stuck on the progress indicator, manually uploading files errors out too

[adamziel]

Description of Bug

I am a WordPress core contributor who's exploring using Stackblitz to power runnable code examples in the official WordPress handbook. I've got WordPress to run in node, but I'm unable to bring that code over to Stackblitz. Cloning a repo starts but never finishes. I'm stuck with the "Cloning repo from GitHub" message:

Uploading the files one by one fails with various errors like HTTP 413 or Make sure you upload files smaller than 10MB. Note I even paid for the "Astronaut" to get unlimited file uploads, but it didn't help.

Right now I can't move forward as there is no way for me to run the project on the platform.

Steps to Reproduce

Go to https://stackblitz.com/github/adamziel/wordpress-wasm/tree/nodejs-runtime and observe the progress indicator spinning ad infinitum.

Alternatively, clone that repository to your local machine and then try to upload the files to Stackblitz one by one. Observe the errors.

Expected Behavior

The files being imported smoothly and without errors.

I have transferred this over to https://github.com/stackblitz/webcontainer-core which is the right place for issues related to WebContainer.

Hey @adamziel 👋 . Thanks for creating this issue. We will have to dive deeper into the github importer logic to see what's going on. But you shouldn't see the upload file limit.

In the mean time you could open it with Codeflow instead (https://stackblitz.com/~/github.com/WordPress/wordpress-playground/tree/nodejs-runtime) which will give you much more flexibility.

It seems though that the project is not working? I tested it both in Codeflow and on local and it's the same result.

Also @adamziel, do you still see those messages regarding the 10MB files?

👋 @SamVerschueren I don't see the 10MB limit messages anymore, great!

The project was moved to https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-playground so I believe the Stackblitz URL would be https://stackblitz.com/github/WordPress/wordpress-playground/tree/trunk – it still keeps spinning and I don't see any network traffic in developer tools either.
