The "My history" page on the Google AI Studio website is empty, while the project files themselves are correctly saved in Google Drive

Bug Report: Google AI Studio Template Generation Issue

Summary: Downloaded code templates from Google AI Studio are malformed, preventing them from running correctly.


Product/Component: Google AI Studio (specifically, the Code Template export feature)

OS / Environment:

  • Operating System: Windows

  • Tools: VS Code, Node.js


Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Go to Google AI Studio and create a new project template.

  2. Download the generated code template file (e.g., a .zip file).

  3. Unzip the file and open the project folder in VS Code.

  4. Run the command npm install in the integrated terminal.

  5. After the packages are installed, run the command npm run start.


Actual Result: The npm run start command fails with the error message "Error: no start script specified". The package.json file inside the downloaded template is found to be incorrect, as the start script is set to literally output this error message instead of a valid run command.

JSON

"scripts": {
  "start": "echo \"Error: no start script specified\" && exit 1"
}


Expected Result: After following the standard installation steps, the project should run successfully and automatically open in a web browser. The package.json file should contain a valid start script (e.g., react-scripts start) that launches the application.


Additional Information:

  • This issue is consistently reproducible with newly created templates from the platform.

  • The package.json file is either missing or contains the malformed start script.

  • The “My history” page on the Google AI Studio website is empty, while the project files themselves are correctly saved in Google Drive. This may indicate a separate platform bug related to history synchronization.

welcome to the community,

I was trying to reproduce this on my end and i am not able to do it.
is this a one time occurence or were you able to repro this bug with any other repo/project.

Chat history on AI Studio (so “My History” in it for example) is in terrible shape in general this month, it’s very buggy and hardly usable
