Compile Error output is not helpful, always looks the same if there's ANY error

Developer Tools

the output when I have an error on the mac is super unhelpful

is the windows version better?

Did something get screwed up?

try invoking the cloud compile command directly:

  1. open your project in VSCode
  2. run the Particle: Launch CLI command
  3. run: particle cloud compile <platform - e.g. argon, boron, etc> --target <device os version - e.g. 1.5.1> in the terminal instance that launches

does that show better output?

beyond that, here's the info we need to be better help with troubleshooting:
