If you’re experiencing issues with Make scenarios failing to connect to the remote server and seeing error messages like “Failed to execute ‘postMessage’ on ‘Window’: URL object could not be cloned” or “Failed to execute ‘clone’ on ‘Response’: Response body is already used,” don’t worry – you’re not alone. This error can be frustrating, but there are steps you can take to resolve it and get back to your work.
Solution: Clear Your Cookies
The first step you should try is to clear your cookies. Cookies are small files that store information about your browsing activity, and sometimes they can cause issues with website functionality. Here’s how to clear your cookies in Google Chrome:
- Open Chrome and click the three dots in the upper-right corner of the window.
- Click “Settings” from the dropdown menu.
- Scroll down and click “Privacy and security” on the left-hand side of the window.
- Click “Clear browsing data.”
- Make sure “Cookies and other site data” is selected.
- Click “Clear data.”
Once you’ve cleared your cookies, try running your Make scenario again and see if the error persists.
Solution: Use a Private Browser Window
If clearing your cookies didn’t work, the next step is to try running your scenario in a private browser window. Private browsing (also known as incognito mode) creates a new session that doesn’t use your existing cookies or browsing history. Here’s how to open a private browsing window in Google Chrome:
- Open Chrome and click the three dots in the upper-right corner of the window.
- Click “New incognito window” from the dropdown menu.
- Try running your Make scenario in the new window.
Solution: Change Your Browser Settings
If neither of the above solutions works, you can try changing your browser settings to ensure that popups are opened as new windows instead of new tabs. Here’s how to do this in Google Chrome:
- Open Chrome and click the three dots in the upper-right corner of the window.
- Click “Settings” from the dropdown menu.
- Scroll down and click “Privacy and security” on the left-hand side of the window.
- Click “Site settings.”
- Scroll down and click “Pop-ups and redirects.”
- Make sure the toggle switch is turned on for “Pop-ups and redirects.”
- Turn on the toggle switch for “Open pop-ups in new window.”
By changing this setting, you may be able to establish the connection you need for your Make scenario.
Conclusion
The “Failed to connect to remote server” error in Make can be frustrating, but there are several solutions you can try to resolve it. Clearing your cookies, using a private browsing window, and changing your browser settings for popups are all viable options. If none of these solutions work, you can always reach out to the Make support team for further assistance. With a little troubleshooting, you’ll be able to get back to using Make with confidence.
