I really want to like this platform but it’s fighting me all the way.
Every time I try to create a project it either hangs for hours with the “Please be patient” slideshow, fiddles about for a minute or so then throws an error, or just throws the error right away.
The errors have been different I think (hard to tell because it’s an unformatted slab of text) but the last time I got this
PIO Core Call Error:
"The current working directory C:\Users\graynomad\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\test will be used for the project.\r\n\r\n
The next files/directories have been created in C:\Users\graynomad\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\test\r\n

Note that it says success. It always does and it seems that the directory structure has indeed been created but not populated with any files except READMEs, and nothing appears in the VScode explorer panel.
I’ve read many similar threads but none seem to provide an answer, mostly talking about uninstalling Python etc but I don’t seem to have Python installed in the first place.
