The terminal process failed to launch

This is most likely a newbie error. I'm using VS Code:

with Pymakr - Preview v2.16.4. I'm getting The terminal process failed to launch: Path to shell executable "node" does not exist error when trying to create terminal.

The LED blink example I'm trying works fine with Thonny. VS Code creates terminal just fine when working with Platform IO or desktop Python and C++. What am I missing?

It's my impression that VSCode bundles with node, but I could be wrong on this. At any rate, your local installation can't find node. First make sure that your installation followed the instructions here as various market places sometimes mess up the VSCode install. Something we've seen with bindings in the past.

If that doesn't work, I'll see if I can build binaries for Linux. In the meantime, you can solve the issue by installing Node, but I understand if this is not desired.

Hello, I had the same problem.

Installing nodejs from the dpkg mananger results in another problem:

What could be the reason for this issue? Thanks in advance!

I decided to give MicroPython a break for a while. Going back to C/C++ for embedded development.
