I was having the same issue. I was on VS code August 2024 (version 1.93). I reverted to VS code June 2024 (version 1.91)
and did not see the error under this version and "bigER Modeling Tool v0.5.0".

[giuliano-marinelli]

Any solution for this problem with new VS Code versions?

I have the same issue - trying to use for a Pharma Client

[borkdominik]

I cannot reproduce this with the current version of VS Code and Java 21 on Mac.
We will look into this, might be a Windows issue @plglaser

[AdamBanham]

I can also confirm the issue is occurring on Windows, with a fresh install from the extensions tab in vscode.

Reproduced using lastest head

I managed to run the extension locally using the lastest head, after building the extension the following events can be seen in extension host output:

Steps to Reproduce

On opening an .erd file

Environment

OS: Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26100
JAVA:
openjdk 21.0.4 2024-07-16 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (Red_Hat-21.0.4.0+7-1) (build 21.0.4+7-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (Red_Hat-21.0.4.0+7-1) (build 21.0.4+7-LTS, mixed mode, sharing)
VSCode: 1.95.3

Possible Issue

I think the issue is likely connected to a recent CVE which then triggered a breaking change for nodejs, which vscode has since moved to from v1.92.
A rundown of the breaking changes can be seen in the following issues:

• Nodejs introduces breaking changes Command run failed with error : spawn EINVAL nodejs/node#52554
• Vscode moves to electron 30 and updates Nodejs, which includes the breaking change to spawning Notification of breaking api change with v1.92 release of VS Code gitkraken/vscode-gitlens#3387

The previous issue outlines the changes required to adjust and resolve the issue in the immediate future (gitkraken/vscode-gitlens#3387) as outlined below:

Node.js has added a section on batch file spawning to their documentation. To fix any issues:

• Find locations where you call child_process.spawn to execute a batch file on Windows
• Add shell: true or shell: process.platform === 'win32' to the options object
  • If the batch script path may contain spaces, you will also need to wrap the path in quotation marks.

I have not tested the suggested changes, but do have some time if you would like me to test the possible resolution with a PR.
