GRPCIOTimeout in DAML examples using Visual Studio Code

I am going through the exercises mentioned here 3 Data types — Daml SDK 1.18.1 documentation using Visual Studio Code on my Mac and keep running into the following error:

ScenarioBackendException {scenarioNote = “Failed to create scenario context”, scenarioBackendError = BErrorClient (ClientIOError GRPCIOTimeout)}

Any suggestions on how I can increase my timeout?

Thanks

Are you running with SDK 1.18.0? There was a bug in there that we fixed in SDK 1.18.1 which got released yesterday.

Thanks! Yes. I am running 1.18.0. Will update.
