============================================================

An unexpected error occurred. Further steps:

* Verify that you have the latest version of PlatformIO using
  `pip install -U platformio` command

* Try to find answer in FAQ Troubleshooting section
  https://docs.platformio.org/page/faq.html

* Report this problem to the developers
  https://github.com/platformio/platformio-core/issues

============================================================

ini file below:
[env:genericSTM32F103RE]

platform = ststm32

board = genericSTM32F103RE

framework = arduino

lib_deps =

bodmer/TFT_eSPI@^2.3.70

greiman/SdFat@^2.1.0

debug_tool = stlink

upload_protocol = stlink

I am using a SDLinkv2 SCLK and SWDIO GND and VCC, which works fine for uploading.

Any ideas?

Did some work on it and it looks like it was just python packages missing.

I did the following to fix it:

pip install zope.interface

pip install pywin32

Did i miss an install step or is this a bug?

thanks

PlatformIO should install all needed Python packages upon its first installation.

Did you execute that in the global pip installation of your system or PlatformIO’s (in C:\Users\<user>\.platformio\penv)? PlatformIO runs in its own isolated python environment and thus shouldn’t rely on packages installed in the system’s pip.

Does this occurr after a fresh reinstall too? To do that,

  • remove the PlatformIO extension from VSCode and close VSCode
  • remove the folder C:\Users\User\.platformio\
  • re-open VSCode, reinstall PlatformIO, restart VSCode after installation has finished
  • retry building the project first, then debugging.
