packaging typescript chaincode fails

[knarz]

The chaincode is compiled properly, i.e. shows up in the dist/ directory but not actually packaged. No error are generated.

Expected Behavior

Packaged smart contract should show up in the »smart contracts« pane.

Actual Behavior

When using typescript as the language for the chaincode, nothing happens.

When using javascript as the language for the chaincode, the package shows up.

Possible Fix

1. Go to Smart contracts pane
2. Select »Create New Project«
3. Create new CRUD project using typescript
4. Project skeleton is created
5. Open new crud project
6. Try to »Package open project«

I have the same problem #2020. And when I try to "Package Open Project" I have this error:

[ERROR] TypeError: Cannot read property 'fsPath' of undefined

I have the same problem, when I try to "Package Open Project" a sample go CRUE contract project, I get fail log:

[2020/4/22 下午12:49:28] [INFO] packageSmartContract
[2020/4/22 下午12:49:28] [ERROR] TypeError: Cannot read property 'fsPath' of undefined

[Workaround] Pending the current fix... you can revert to version 1.39 of vscode which works well for me.

I confirm your workaround @johndacost . It also solves the 'fsPath' problem.
Thanks!

I could recreate the packaging failing to do anything after compiling the TypeScript, using VS Code 1.44.x. I'm unable to recreate the [ERROR] TypeError: Cannot read property 'fsPath' of undefined error though.

As @johndacost mentioned, a workaround is to downgrade VS Code to a previous version such as 1.39 - until we figure out what has changed in VS Code and what changes we can make in the extension.

A fix went in for this in our v1.0.27 release yesterday.

As I've been unable to verify the [ERROR] TypeError: Cannot read property 'fsPath' of undefined issue, please let me know if this still occurs!

Thanks,
Jake

@Jakeeyturner I am facing the same issue. I have the latest VSC (1.44.2) and IBM Blockchain platform extension (1.0.27).

Additional Info: I am trying to create the package using WSL2 with Ubuntu 18.04.

Update: After downgrading VSC to version 1.39.2, everything worked as expected.

[droopygit]

The 1.0.27 version doesn't resolve for me the fsPath problem nor the original packaging one.

@droopygit @mrchar

Please could you provide some information on your operating system, VS Code version, extension version, contract language and any prompts you clicked, then add it to this issue --> #2243

Thanks.

@hbksagar when you say you "Additional Info: I am trying to create the package using WSL2 with Ubuntu 18.04." Does that mean you are using remote development in vscode?
