Slicemachine not working at all

Hello Olaf,

I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing difficulties with Slice Machine. Let’s work through these issues together.

1. Authentication Issues:
You’re encountering messages indicating you’re not logged in, even after using the Prismic CLI. To address this:
Update the Prismic CLI: Ensure you’re using the latest version. Update by running:

npm install -g prismic-cli

Re-authenticate: Log out and back in to refresh your session:

prismic logout
prismic login

If the issue persists, verify that your sm.json file contains the correct apiEndpoint for your repository.

2. Error When Pushing Changes:
Encountering errors during the push process can be frustrating. Here’s how to troubleshoot:
Check User Permissions: Ensure your Prismic account has the necessary permissions to push changes. Users without admin rights may face restrictions.
Restart Slice Machine: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve unexpected errors.
Inspect Logs: Review the terminal and browser console logs for specific error messages. These can provide insights into the root cause.

3. “Invalid Context Provided” Error:
This error often relates to issues with the project’s configuration:
Verify sm.json Configuration: Ensure the apiEndpoint and other configurations in your sm.json file are accurate.
Check Network Connectivity: Confirm that your network connection is stable and not blocking requests to Prismic’s services.

Additional Recommendations:
Node.js Version: Some users have reported issues with certain Node.js versions. Consider upgrading to the latest LTS version.
