I’m currenly working my way through the VCV developer tutorial to get to grips with the SDK. I’ve been able to resolve some “unique challenges” presented in a Windows 10 environement, but I’ve hit a stumbling block when it comes to generating a new module.
From inside MyPlugin folder I run
$RACK_SDK/helper.py createmodule MyModule res/MyModule.svg src/MyModule.cpp
where $RACK_SDK is the environment variable name created for my
The createmodule script fails at generating the source file output below:
Module name [MyModule]: MyModule
One-line description (optional) []:
Tags (comma-separated, case-insensitive, see https://github.com/VCVRack/Rack/blob/v1/src/tag.cpp for list) []: VCO
Added MyModule to plugin.json
Panel found at res/MyModule.svg. Generating source file.

I’ll keep troubleshooting, and if I find an answer, I’ll post it here.
