The message “build finished with error(s)” means that there were errors during the build process of a project. The error(s) encountered could be due to various reasons such as syntax errors, missing dependencies, or invalid configurations.
The additional message “the terminal process terminated with exit code: -1” suggests that the terminal, which was used for the build process, abruptly stopped with an error code of -1. This can happen if there were critical errors that caused the termination of the build process.
The final statement “terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it” indicates that the terminal can still be used for other tasks, and pressing any key will close it.
Example:
Let’s say you are trying to build a web application using a build tool like webpack. However, during the build process, you encounter a syntax error in one of your JavaScript files. As a result, the build fails and the error message “build finished with error(s)” is displayed in the terminal.
The terminal process terminates with exit code -1, indicating the failure. The error message provides details about the specific error that occurred, such as the file and line number where the syntax error was found.
To fix the issue, you would need to locate and correct the syntax error in your JavaScript file, ensuring that the code is valid. Once the error is resolved, you can run the build process again, and if successful, the terminal will display a message indicating that the build finished without any errors.
It’s important to thoroughly read and understand the error message provided in the terminal, as it often contains valuable information about the cause of the build failure.
