Welcome to the community @MEENA RITESH Sadly, this one’s pretty common right now—“Agent process terminated (exit code 1)” usually isn’t your code, it’s the Rovo Dev runtime crashing. Try this first:

  • Restart VS Code
  • Run “Rovo Dev: Start new session”
  • Re-authenticate Atlassian account
  • Disable/re-enable the extension

If it keeps happening, it’s likely a backend/runtime issue (others have reported it). Capture the timestamp and logs and raise a Support ticket—there’s no stable fix on your side when the agent process crashes like this.

Confirm the Rovo Dev CLI version and installation
In the terminal (outside of VS Code):
rovo --version
If it shows “command not found” or something similar:
Install or reinstall Rovo Dev following the official guide (Mac/Linux/Windows):
https://www.atlassian.com/software/rovo/dev
If a version appears but the error continues:
Update to the latest version:
rovo upgrade
or reinstall from the official installer.
After installing/updating:
Close VS Code completely.
Open VS Code again.
Try opening the Rovo Dev panel and starting a new chat.
If another error appears, bring it here so we can help. If you have already tried this, please signal here as it may be some path issue or proxy configuration, then the range of possible things increases.
