Blank screen on Mac after Dec Update

[tsny]

Code version: November 2021 (version 1.63)

I get this error with code --verbose

[main 2021-12-13T03:49:36.354Z] resolveShellEnv(): skipped (VSCODE_CLI is set)
[65899:1212/214936.407085:INFO:CONSOLE(22)] "Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object", source: vscode-file://vscode-app/Users/tasnyder/Library/Application%20Support/Code/User/globalStorage/iocave.monkey-patch/modules/browser-entrypoint.js (22)

Code ends up looking like this:

Deleting the files in that directory work but they re-appear and make the issue reappear after another restart.

Snippet from that file (starting at line 20):

		let joined = prevPattern.toString().slice(1, -1) + additionalPattern.toString().slice(1, -1);
		loaderConfig.amdModulesPattern = new RegExp(joined);
		Object.assign(loaderConfig.paths, {
			"customize-ui" : "../../../../../../Users/tasnyder/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/iocave.customize-ui/modules",
			"monkey-generated" : "../../../../../../Users/tasnyder/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/iocave.monkey-patch/modules"
		});
		require.define("monkey-patch", {

Is line 22 Object.assign(loaderConfig.paths? If so it looks like loaderConfig.paths might be undefined, which is quite weird. Could you try editing the file, add

loaderConfig.paths = {}

right before Object.assign and let me know if VSCode starts?

I'm having the same problem … MonkeyPatch was working fine until tonight when Code starts up as just a blank screen, same as OP. However, I don't get the error he had with code --verbose

I get —

Any thoughts?

Can anyone confirm this with non-portable version?
