Troubleshooting

Common setup questions.

Goodebot will not open on macOS+

Delete that copy and download Goodebot again from this official page. A published macOS build should open normally without Terminal commands or a security bypass. If it still fails, report the macOS version and exact message so the release can be corrected.

Windows SmartScreen appears+

Confirm the file came from goodebot.net, open More info, review the app name, and use Run anyway only if you trust the verified release.

The Goodecode VSIX does not install+

Confirm the file ends in .vsix and that your Visual Studio Code version is 1.90 or newer. Download the file again if it is incomplete.

Goodecode does not activate+

Reload Visual Studio Code, then open a folder containing a Goodecode project or run Goodecode: Open Goodecode from the Command Palette.

Goodebot cannot find a project+

Use Create or Import in Goodebot and select the project folder or exported .goode package—not an individual Python file.

The VEX Brain is not detected+

Reconnect the USB cable, power on the Brain, close other apps using the device, and check Goodebot’s hardware status panel.

Build or deployment fails+

Open the build report in Goodebot, correct the first listed validation issue, verify the target slot and device connection, then build again.

A download link is unavailable+

That build has not been signed, notarized, and verified yet. Return to this official page for status; do not download Goodebot from unofficial mirrors.
