Troubleshooting "Godot Could Not Create Child Process" Errors
The "Godot could not create child process" error occurs when Godot is unable to launch a child process, such as an external editor or a build process. This can happen due to various reasons, such as permission issues, resource constraints, or incorrect configuration. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve this error:
1. Check for Permission Issues
- Ensure that the user running Godot has the necessary permissions to create child processes.
- Verify that the Godot executable and the project directory have the correct permissions.
