Hello.
I’ve used PIO about one year in a MacStudio m2, now I had changed to a new MacBook M2, and I can’t initialize even a new project as in the image.
I tried to reinstall whole VScode and PIO, also tried to copy epressif32 folder from my older computer to the new one. And nothing appears to solve.
Only to register here the solution…
After MacOS update to Soquoia the register of platform was lost, then the commands became invalid for the terminal.
Solution:
Delete the folder containing ‘espressif/framework-arduinoespressif32’ in “…macusername/.platformio/packages” and reinstall from the scratch by creating a simple new project.
hello, I couldn’t find the folder you mentioned. When I searched for it in Finder, nothing called .platformio came up. And I’m still having the same problem. Can you help me?
Finder (mdutil) doesn’t index hidden files starting with a dot. The pathname was given in the answer marked ‘solution’, though I think there’s an extra ‘espressif’ in the answer.
Delete the folder containing ‘espressif/framework-arduinoespressif32’ in “…macusername/.platformio/packages”
I can confirm that path exists on my Mac that I’m typing on.
So if your username is kaanbuka and you installed with the default, that path is /Users/kaanbuka/.platformio/packages/
So you can fire up Terminal.app (hint: iTerm rocks!) and run
mv ~/.platformio/packages/framework-espidf /tmp
to move the cited directory out of PlatformIO’s view, but keeping a copy of it for now in /tmp. (When you reboot, it’ll go away.) When you next run PlatformIO, it should repopulate that automatically with a system-appropriate copy.
If something goes terribly wrong and you need to revert, just re-run the move with the source and destination swapped.
mv /tmp/framework-espidf ~/.platformio/packages/
Whether it’s for security or just impedance matching between “ugly” UNIX history and “pretty” NextStep/Carbon/Cocoa stuff, there are some things that just don’t play well between them. The dot files is one. Having the home directory excluded from the locate database is another. I get that it’s ostensibly a system-wide shared database andyou might not WANT everyone else able to search your $HOME, but it’s annoying that Finder/Recents just goes brain dead on the billion hidden files that a PlatformIO installation creates.
