App running error

Using Streamlit
1

I’m running my app locally and I deployed it. When running the app, the page shows app error, so I thought my code went wrong. After debugging I just change directly back to a version history that originally worked, and reboot the app. However when reopen the app, it’s forever in the oven. I don’t know what might be wrong.

This is my code for the app:GitHub - vvan070626-cell/Financeppt: Web app to analyze finance ppt · GitHub

Hey there, thanks for sharing your question and your repo link! :blush: You’re not alone—many folks have run into the “forever in the oven” issue on Streamlit Community Cloud, even after reverting to a previously working version. This usually points to deployment or configuration issues, not necessarily your code.

Here’s what you should try, based on official docs and community experience:

  1. Reboot the App: From your workspace or Cloud logs, use the “Reboot” option to force a fresh build. This often resolves temporary deployment glitches (official reboot instructions).
  2. Check Python Version: Streamlit now requires Python ≥3.10. If your app is pinned to an older version (like 3.9), update it in your app settings and reboot (community report).
  3. Review requirements.txt: Make sure all dependencies are listed, with no typos or OS-specific packages. Only include packages not in the Python standard library (deployment troubleshooting).
  4. Resource Limits: If your app is resource-intensive, it may exceed Community Cloud limits (2.7GB RAM, 2 CPU cores). Try simplifying the app or using caching (st.cache_data) to reduce memory usage (resource limits guide).
  5. Delete and Redeploy: If all else fails, delete the app and redeploy from scratch. This has resolved persistent “in the oven” issues for many users (community example).

If you’re still stuck, please share a minimum reproducible example and your requirements.txt so the community can help debug further! Community members, feel free to jump in with your insights or similar experiences.
