Hi Higdon, Sam,

To resolve the issue with the Codespaces sample application, please follow these steps: 

1.Check Ports: Open the Ports tab in Codespaces and ensure that port 5000 (or 5001 for HTTPS) is listed. Set it to "Public" or "Open in Browser" to make it accessible externally. 

2.Run the Application: Start the application using the command dotnet run --configuration Release --no-build --project Tailspin.SpaceGame.Web and carefully review the terminal output for any errors. 

3.Verify Application Accessibility: Test if the application is running by accessing [http://localhost:5000] using a tool like url or by opening it in a browser to confirm the port is responding. 

4.Rebuild the Application: If the issue persists, rebuild the application using the command dotnet build --configuration Release and then rerun it with the previous command. 

5.Restart the Codespace: Restart the Codespace by stopping and reopening it. This action resets the environment and may resolve container-related issues. 

6.Check Network and Security Settings: Ensure that your browser, proxy, or firewall settings are not blocking the application’s connection.

Define the path to the newly uploaded .Build.cs file

build_cs_file_path = "/mnt/data/OpenAIAPI.Build.cs"

Read the contents of the .Build.cs file

with open(build_cs_file_path, 'r') as build_cs_file:

build_cs_contents = build_cs_file.read() 

build_cs_contents
