VS Code fails to create new Apex Class stub on Windows 11 insider preview version

See original GitHub issue

Longtime VS Code user and been using VS Code / SFDX on multiple computers for over a year. I’ve just installed VS Code and the SFDX CLI on a new computer, and now I cannot use the VS Code command palette to create a new Apex Class.

The output I get is: Trying to copy from a source that does not exist: c:\Users\xxxxxxxxxx\.vscode\extensions\salesforce.salesforcedx-vscode-core-52.4.0\node_modules\@salesforce\templates\lib\templates\apexclass\DefaultApexClass.cls

But what’s funny is that the files do exist (screenshot)

Operating System: Windows 11 (Insider Preview, build 22000.65)

I’m also seeing other SFDX cli command stubs fail. Today it’s failing to run “SFDX: Create Project”. Unlike my original issue, however, the base cli command also fails.

Thanks for confirming @jarodwsams - we actually have one open item to trim spaces at the end of new projects (#3950), but this does seem to be a recurring theme for us resulting in certain mysterious issues 👻 . I’ll bring this up to the dev/docs team and see if there’s anything we can do to prevent these going forward. Cheers!
