Thank you for your help!
That works, but I’m trying to build the platformio examples and when I create a project, the error prevents some of the example project files from being put in the correct directories. Once it has been created, I can edit the platform variable and it’s downloaded but the project is still missing some example files because of the failed creation. What is the way to work around this, please? Normally, when there are updates to code on git, I will just do a git update to get the latest fixes, but platformio is installed as a vscode extension rather than using git directly.
