This is the legacy documentation for our original platform, Cades. Our platform has evolved significantly since then to offer both app and website creation capabilities. Find the new documentation here.

Here are the common errors occuring during the alpha ide setup and how to navigate them.

Generated code error

Run flutter pub get if the project is not compiled and you see red screens. Initial code will have some errors related to icon names, you can fix them or remove them and run the project.

Icon name issue

Sometimes the agent will try to use icons that are not present, we are using lucide icons, you can refer the docs for lucide to find appropriate icons if you wish to edit https://lucide.dev/icons/

When you log in to the ide for the first time you might see this error, when you first try to press lets go on the cades agent extension. To get around this just refresh the page and try again to go through the welcome screen and press let’s go. Should be fixed. If still facing issues contact for support in the community
