In order for the CSDE-cordapp-template app to work on MacOS with VsCode, these steps must be made:

Add `$rootDir` prefix in `build.gradle`

For some reason, to run gradle tasks from VsCode, the default build.gradle must be updated with absolute paths. Unpatched file works just fine for commands from CLI.

    // Configure the CSDE
    csde {
        cordaClusterURL = "https://localhost:8888"
-       networkConfigFile = "config/static-network-config.json"
+       networkConfigFile = "$rootDir/config/static-network-config.json"
        r3RootCertFile = "config/r3-ca-key.pem"
        corDappCpiName = "MyCorDapp"
        notaryCpiName = "NotaryServer"
        cordaRpcUser = "admin"
        cordaRpcPasswd ="admin"
        workflowsModuleName = workflowsModule
-       csdeWorkspaceDir = "workspace"
+       csdeWorkspaceDir = "$rootDir/workspace"
        notaryVersion = cordaNotaryPluginsVersion
        combinedWorkerVersion = combinedWorkerJarVersion
        postgresJdbcVersion = "42.4.3"
        cordaDbContainerName = "CSDEpostgresql"
        cordaBinDir = "${System.getProperty("user.home")}/.corda/corda5"
        cordaCliBinDir = "${System.getProperty("user.home")}/.corda/cli" 
    }

Note, that there is must be no prefix for r3RootCertFile property.

JDK

Install recommend JDK (Azul Zulu 11) and tell gradle to use it.

gradle.properties

+ # Use JDK Zulu 11
+ org.gradle.java.home=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/zulu-11.jdk/Contents/Home

List all the Java versions installed on Mac

 /usr/libexec/java_home -V

Otherwise, funny errors might happen:
