Answer 1

I was having this issue last week too, tried again this morning and looks like they've put out an update for the decentraland-ecs package

6.11.2 -> 6.11.3

Running npm install decentraland-ecs@latest in my local project has fixed the issue for me

Sometimes the local dev instance will hang at a certain point. You should try refreshing a few times while the browser is active. I'm not sure why, but sometimes if you have the tab open in the background, it will not fully load.

Also make sure that if you are calling/modifying a Transform, that it already exists on the entity. This will sometimes hang and not give a proper error.

So if you call myEntity.getComponent(Transform).position = new Vector3(8,0,8) before you add a Transform to the entity with myEntity.addComponent(Transform) this annoying non-error will happen and leave you scratching your head.
