Testing this using Ubuntu with the latest Chrome browser, I’m getting the following error on my local dev site:

`component-templates.js:54 [discourse/theme-10/discourse/templates/components/conditional-loading-spinner] conditional-loading-spinner was authored using gjs and its template cannot be overridden. Ignoring override.`

On my production site, also testing with the latest Chrome browser on Ubuntu, I’m not getting errors, but also am not seeing a loading spinner.

I think some changes have been made to how templates get overridden in themes since this theme component was released: [(not recommended) Overriding Discourse templates from a Theme or Plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/overriding-discourse-templates-from-a-theme-or-plugin/247487). I think the way Discourse implements the loading spinner has also changed since then.
