Compile error "default" sketch for p2 under deviceos 6.2.1 on visual studio on macos

Firmware

after some time working on p1/photon code (old deviceos) i returned to working on the p2...

i created a new (empty) project in visual studio (macos) and configured for p2 device and deviceos 6.2.1 and made sure all was up to date: trying to compile the empty sketch gives:

anyone any idea?

Strange, I am not able to recreate on my end. A P2 6.2.1 target on MacOS compiles OK for me. Maybe try an uninstall / reinstall of Workbench VSCode extension?

Can you target a different device / device OS version? Does that compile?

p1 with deviceos 3.3.1 works ok

macos 15.5. you?

might be macos (recently updated) but not sure since i have not worked with the p2 in a while

will try to reinstall!

Oh, I see what might be the problem. Is there a reason you're choosing the "Particle: Compile application & Device OS (local)" options versus the typical "Particle: Compile application (local)" command?

great! that does work! thank you!

i just clicked the "local compile" button in the "welcome to particle workbench" tab (used to work fine)
