Endless loop - compiling npx frontity dev

🙋Get Help
1

So I know I’m probably missing something, but I’ve been getting this weird error lately where when I run npx frontity dev, my terminal goes crazy.

It goes into this endless loop of compiling. Why does it do this?

Here’s the txt from my terminal:

Hi @chayce.solchaga

Can you please provide a repo or code-sandbox with your code? This is especially helpful to find solutions of technical issues with specific code

Hey sorry @juanma this resolved. I ended up having a css font import in my css file that I thought I deleted/commented out - but didn’t.

I ended up installing the font on my site - which helped a lot with performance and the endless compiling disappeared.

Thank you and your team for all the help I’ve received. Frontity is amazing! As a new dev and someone who knew nothing about Wordpress and just starting in React, this was very approachable and you and the team have done a great job with documentation and the community. Keep it up!
