Screenshot

I encountered an error in the terminal while running my code in Visual Studio Code.

The error message that appeared was:

"Oops, something went wrong. Please report this bug with the details below."

After this message showed up, my code still ran successfully. The terminal gave this exception before executing the code properly.

I’m using the integrated PowerShell terminal in VS Code. The error doesn’t seem to stop the code from running, but I wanted to report it just in case it points to a deeper issue.

Thanks in advance for your help!
