IDE won't work when ATOM was updated to 1.7.x

PlatformIO IDE
1

I use atom+platformio IDE on windows 7. I got a problem when atom was updated to 1.7.1. It couldn’t find pio.exe or platformio.exe command. When I open terminal screen and show $env:path the path to where pio.exe and platformio.exe command is missing.

this is what I get when getting $env:path on 1.7.1

You’re up-to-date!
PlatformIO 2.8.6 is currently the newest version available.

I suspected some incorrectly passing/adding of PATH env variable somewhere.
Any idea?

Do you see this problem after restarting IDE?

Thanks for your response. Problem solved. It was caused by ATOM 1.7.x passing environment variable as case-sensitive. My PC has “Path” as the variable instead of “PATH” as expected by PlatformIO-IDE.

Hm… PlatformIO IDE 1.1.2 should work with Atom 1.7.x. We have fixed this issue with Path. See PlatformIO IDE 1.1.2
