The OSS Build runs, but open an empty window. No menu item works, except Help/About, Help/Toggle Developer Tools, File/New Window and File/Close, as you can see in the GIF below.

Any idea what could be happening? Any missing/invalid pre-requisite? I'm trying to build for about two weeks, and I'm stuck with the same error. I constantly update my sources from GitHub, so it doesn't appears to be a failed changeset

Thanks in advance

@jrieken Something wrong with gc-signals

[jrieken]

@alefragnani Can you attach the output when running ./scripts/npm i please? The gc-signals module is a native module that needs to be compiled using VS

[xconverge]

@jrieken I am having the exact same issue here on win10 x64.

If this is not the exact same thing I will remove the comment and move it elsewhere but I think it is the same issue and I figure a stack trace and answering the questions for you may be helpful in getting this resolved...

Weird - I am expecting a lot more output from node-gyp such as our build machine produce: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/VSCode/vscode/build/1.0.9109#L534. Can clear your node_modules folders first and/or npm i --force install - you should really see something like this in the output

[alefragnani]

Sure, it seems similar. At least that part of the log. Even the error before that also occurs in your build:

I attached the log, because when I tried to paste, the browser stopped working.

build_oss_gcsignals_LOG_SCRIPTS_NPM_I_--FORCE - 2.txt

But something different occurred. Now the error that appears when I run Code OSS differs. But it also does nothing at all 😢
