This is the 3rd time I am doing this lab. Either on the extract job or transform job part, it crashs and I have to restart all over again
What is going on?? It is so frustrating
@weiweiwong I can see that you were able to complete the lab. Am I right? Was there any error or typo in your Terraform configuration files?
We noticed that sometimes the VSCode terminal crashes when there is an error in one of the Terraform files. We’re looking into adding comments to help learners know what to do when the terminal crashes.
I’m facing this exact same problem, the terminal keeps dying when running terraform apply on the transform step, I’ve rebooted the instance, restarted VSCode, nothing fixed it
This is VERY frustrating because it means I just wasted 30-60 minutes on an assignment, and can’t progress…
Hello @karl5
Sorry for the inconvenience. Can you please record a screencast while running the command to see what error pops up in the terminal before crashing?
Hi Amir,
It turns out this was (one of) the problems: C4_W4 Capstone - Environment Keeps Crashing
Three different things crashed the terminal:
- I missed a “none.none” in a Terraform file
- I didn’t run terraform init before running terraform plan
- I mispelled terraform (terrraform)
All of these are obviously my fault, but because the terminal closes in <1 second and the error only flashes on the screen before it closes, I literally had to screen record the issue (so I could send them to you), and pause to see what the error is.
So I feel like the terminal shouldn’t exit (it exits with exit code 1, so I think it’s being forced?) whenever an error occurs…
Also I couldn’t even run “grep -irl none” without the terminal dying, which made things even more frustrating.
Thanks for the reply though. 
You are right. The terminal crashing can be frustrating, but I am glad that you were able to work through.
Happy learning!
