Cannot build empty code

nois97.noa · February 1, 2022, 4:52pm

I’m trying to use platformio to develop for my esp32. I created a new project and tried to build it. It failed. I have literally no code apart from what was automatically created. The same empty project can build on my laptop. This is the terminal output:

I don’t know what’s happening with the prints but I think Det g\x86r inte att hitta s\x94kv\x84gen. means that it cannot find the path.

This is my platform.ini file:

platform = espressif32
board = pico32
framework = arduino

I’d appreciate any help!

Is your project located in an extraordinarily long folder path?

Also try removing

C:\Users\<user>\.platformio\.cache
C:\Users\<user>\.platformio\packages\toolchain-xtensa32
C:\Users\<user>\.platformio\packages\framework-arduinoespressif32

and retry.

nois97.noa · February 1, 2022, 8:01pm

Is your project located in an extraordinarily long folder path?

I wouldn’t say so. It’s under C:\Users\dator\Desktop\PigFeeder\Code.

Also try removing

C:\Users\<user>\.platformio\.cache

C:\Users\<user>\.platformio\packages\toolchain-xtensa32

C:\Users\<user>\.platformio\packages\framework-arduinoespressif32

and retry.

It didn’t work. This is the terminal output:

Do you have antivirus software beyond Windows defender installed?

When you open a CLI and execute

pio run -j1 -v

What is the output?

nois97.noa · February 1, 2022, 8:11pm

Do you have antivirus software beyond Windows defender installed?

I certainly hope not.

When running pio run -j1 -v this is the output:

It definitely works for me on Windows with the same pico32 board and Espressif 32 3.5.0 platform version as you have.

I also don’t see anything suspicous in your output that would raise concerns.

Does your username dator or any elements in the path contain non-ASCII characters?
Does it behave the same when you replace platform = espressif32 with platform = espressif32@3.4.0 in the platformio.ini?
Does activating UTF8 support in Windows change the error? I have this activated

(You may need to restart Windows after this)

As a last ditch effort, please do a clean reinstall of PlatformIO: Remove the PlatformIO VSCode extension, close VSCode, remove the entire C:\Users\<user>\.platformio folder, re-open VSCode, reinstall the PlatformIO VScode extension, try building the project again.

Does your username dator or any elements in the path contain non-ASCII characters?

No. This is the full path:
C:\Users\dator\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\Empty
As far as I can tell they’re all ASCII characters

Does it behave the same when you replace platform = espressif32 with platform = espressif32@3.4.0 in the platformio.ini?

Yep

Does activating UTF8 support in Windows change the error?

It’s the same error but the characters aren’t messed up:

They’re still in swedish though, which is annoying.

The problem is still here

The only other reason for this type of error is an antivirus which messes with program execution. But if you say you don’t have that installed, I have no further ideas. Try opening an issue in Issues · platformio/platformio-vscode-ide · GitHub to get help from the developers.

(You can also revert the @3.4.0 platform change to stay at the newest version)

Thanks for the help. I’ll just not use platformio until it gets more stable. Any idea when that will happen?

I’ve been using PlatformIO for multiple years, 2 million others do too according to the VSCode marketplace, and you’ve proven that the problem is local to your computer since you got it working on your other laptop – I think the probability that PlatformIO is being held back by something specifically on your computer (like a misconfiguration or antivirus software) is much higher than PlatformIO being faulty, otherwise we would have a storm of reports of that type. As I said, you should try opening an issue to see if the core developers have more ideas.
