I gather that this question has been asked before but so far I haven't found anyone with the same error (or lack thereof) since the VS code status says
SFDX: Create a Default Scratch Org... successfully ran
But the output reads
Starting SFDX: Create a Default Scratch Org...
16:18:46.788 sfdx force:org:create -f config\project-scratch-def.json --setalias trailhead --durationdays 7 --setdefaultusername --json --loglevel fatal
16:19:14.800 sfdx force:org:create -f config\project-scratch-def.json --setalias trailhead --durationdays 7 --setdefaultusername --json --loglevel fatal ended with exit code 0
I was following along this Create a Lightning Web Component module and everything was going fine until step 3, "create a scratch org." I did of course login (sfdx force:auth:web:login -d -a DevHub just in case) and frankly that step just says "select SFDX: Create a Default Scratch Org and press Enter 3 times" so it shouldn't be this complicated... I just updated to the newest CLI version too. What can I do about this?
