A Little Help on Visual Studio Code Monkey C

Can you share me with your code? My environment is completely configured.

Hi, of course. It was a ready-to-use code from github. Here is the link;

https://github.com/warmsound/crystal-face

I also tried another almost empty project, but took the same error. I think I have missed something during installation. Maybe java version is too high, I don't know.

The "exit code: 100" thing is, as you have discovered, not very helpful because it essentially just says "could not compile for some reason"...

But...

If you scroll up in the terminal, you will see all of the good information about what went wrong.

Typically, I find I have a typo in my code that breaks the compiler when this happens, but there are other reasons and you should at the very least get a clue as to what from the lines immediately preceding the line you actually shared!

Okay, here you can find all terminal message after run;

I didn't see any meaningful explanation.

I'm not entirely sure, but it seems that for the venu2 the compiler.json isn't available. So have a look to

c:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\Garmin\ConnectIQ\Devices\venu2\compiler.json

If this file isn't available, you've to download the device venu2 spec using the CIQ SDK Manger.

Hello, thank  you for the reply.

I checked that location and compiler.json is present on there.

Obviously the compiler crashes by parsing the compiler.json for the resolution of the venu2, i.e. the resolution can't be found. So open the compiler.json using a text editor and look if the label resolution is available like this

...
    ],
    "resolution": {
        "height": 416,
        "width": 416
    },
...

Hi Subra,

Yes resolution information is present in the compiler.json of venu2 exactly like you wrote. 

After you get an update to devices with the SDK Manager, you may want to restart VS Code.

And if the sim is open, close that too.
