Hello,
I am encountering an issue with the Apigee Emulator (v1.14.2) in Visual Studio Code. I am unable to deploy a simple environment with an echo proxy. When I attempt to deploy, the operation fails with a 500 error, and I see an error related to parsing the deployment report.
Interestingly, the same configuration and process work perfectly with an older version of the emulator (v1.9.2).
What I’ve already done:
- I downloaded the newest version of the Apigee Emulator extension in Visual Studio Code, completely uninstalling and reinstalling.
- I have configured the emulator to use version 1.14.2, and deleted the container and image multiple times, reinstalling later
- I have created a simple echo API proxy, tried with other proxy presets but same result.
- I have confirmed that the deployment is successful when I switch the emulator version back to 1.9.2 with no other changes.
Here are the error messages I’m seeing:
VSCode Console Output:

Unfortunately, I’m unable to upload logs that appeared directly in the docker container as the forum won’t let me, probably due to their length. Truncated, these are the log lines that appear when I try to deploy the environment:

Could someone please help me understand what might be causing this issue and how I can resolve it?
Thank you!
