Lost my project after laptop crash

[TLegendar]

So well, my laptop crashed during screening with ASReview. I started my laptop back up and wanted to conitnue reviewing, but somehow my project was lost and isnt showing at the ASReview homepage. In the CMD line it looks like ASReview is trying to get my project but it wont succeed. This is also noticable in the homepage because it now gives me the option to try to refresh, but this wont succed either, it keeps on giving the refresh option after clicking it. Luckily I used Rayyan simultaneously with ASReview so I still know which articles I included and excluded. Does anybody know how to retrieve my project? I already updatet ASReview to the latest version.

ASReview autosaves your project! Do you know where the .asreview folder is stored on your machine?

Can you copy the text from the CMD so that we can help you to identify what is happening?

Can you zip the content of your .asreview folder and send it to asreview@uu.nl? Can you also share with us what platform you are using? Windows/macOS?

I had no time to wait so I already deleted and reinstalled ASReview. After that I appointed all the articles that I already included and excluded to the relevant or irrelevant category (400 articles) and started screening again.

I will send you the details anyways, maybe there is still something to learn from it.

@Rensvandeschoot @J535D165 I have the same problem as this user. Luckily, I have not deleted / reinstalled ASReview yet and I have found the folder .asreview with my 6 projects (including the one that has "disappeared" from the dashboard).
ASR Dashboard shows 5 projects only (the most recent one is gone after laptop crashed). ASR Dashboard also shows this message "Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)" and a "TRY TO REFRESH" button. When I click on it, nothing happens (apparently).
The error message I get from the CMD is: ERROR:root:Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
I use Windows.
Is there any chance to recover my most recent project?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the inconvenience, can you send the folder containing the failed project as a Zip to asreview@uu.nl?

@J535D165 @Rensvandeschoot Thanks for restoring the file in only a couple of hours!

I imported the project and I could continue labelling items without any problem. I was afraid that the most recently reviewed references would be missing... but I when I opened the project, it started excatly with the same reference as before the crash.
