Multiple problems with 3.5.3a7

PlatformIO IDE
1

I’m on MacOS 10.12.6
After upgrading to 3.5.3a7 Atom IDE stopped working. After reinstallation I noticed that version was bumped to 3.5.3a8 (previous a7). But any attempt to build ends up with this:

I installed VSCode and I’m getting this:

I don’t have pio core installed in the system, so I check with brew version
PlatformIO, version 3.5.3a8

pio run

Essentially, pio seems to be completely unusable :frowning: Anyone having similar problems and managed to fix that?

Also, when restarting Atom I’m getting rebuild problem, similar to above:

C/C++ project index rebuild failed

Looks like somehow my problems went away, except I’m getting harmless project rebuild errors.
