PermissionError?

PlatformIO IDE

No matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall VSCode and PlatformIO I get the following error when I build:

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: ‘../../.adobe’:

Anyone have an idea?

Does this folder exist in your home folder?

What is the exact platformio.ini?

Either something is referencing a folder which doesn’t exist, or that folder does exist and you don’t have permissions to read from it, or a library is doing something very weird.

I gave myself permission on the adobe folder. I am not sure why it was using adobe. It worked.
