Sorry to hear you're having issues @aliali1233 ! Can you post your system information? Command Palette > Help: About

Have you tried looking up the error elsewhere? I found these two threads:

• File is missing '../build/Release/pty.node'
• [SOLVED] ” Cannot find module ‘..\build\Release\pty.node’ ”

It sounds like a module wasn't built properly.

@jsjoeio I got this issue too. I'm using my own docker container, which you can find here.
This issue happen when I'm using Alpine Linux 3.13 (which in turn use Node 14.x), but didn't happen when I switch to Alpine 3.12 (with Node 12.x). My guess is this happen because of different NodeJS version.

This is the log of the error:

Thanks for posting the logs, Martinus!

My guess is this happen because of different NodeJS version.

Sounds like you're right. I've had issues with that myself. I know for working on VSCode locally, the requirements state:

• Node.JS, x64, version >= 10.x, <= 14.x

My guess then to solve this would be to Node 12.x like you suggest Martinus
