Maybe use --scan or --stacktrace to gather more insight as advised by the error?

I’ll try again and send you the code.

You used neither of the options I mentioned, so what’s your point?

I used the scan option you gave me.

Hold on.

problem solved?

No idea. As you did not provide the requested information, I have not the faintest idea what the problem might have been.
