Hi Takeshi,

We are aware of the issue with the online compiler and Mbed 2 targets and are currently working on a fix. In the meantime, you can also use the offline Mbed CLI to compile for the micro:bit, a quick start guide for the Mbed CLI is available here: https://os.mbed.com/docs/latest/tutorials/quick-start-offline.html & an easy installation guide is available here: https://os.mbed.com/docs/latest/tools/installation-and-setup.html

Please let me know if you have any questions!

I'm also wondering if and when this might be fixed as I too have a class I want to teach using this tool and micro:bit?
