Hi,
I was using PlatformIO IDE extension in VSCode absolutely fine yesterday. I opened it today and VSCode automatically tried to update it to v3.3.3 but failed. Now I can’t build my project or create new ones etc. The errors it gave me are:
Error: error: subprocess-exited-with-error

I’ve tried running VSCode as an admin, reverting to v3.3.2 and uninstalling/re-installing the PlatformIO IDE extension but it made no difference. Is anyone able to help please?
Thanks
Remove the PIO extension in VSCode. Delete C:\Users\<user>\.platformio
completely. Reinstall the PIO VSCode extension. Wait for reinstall.

Thanks, I just found that suggestion in another post and tried it. But I still get the same error. Any idea where the log file is so I can get the full error?
I managed to fix it by installing Python manually and then reinstalling PlatformIO.

Hello everyone
Please provide some guidance with the following error after the update to v3.3.3
My PIO also started to fail with V3.3.3. I have tried the following:
- Reverting to v3.3.2 and uninstalling/re-installing the PlatformIO IDE extension
- Uninstall and install Python 3.11 manually via Anaconda
- Upgraded wheel and setuptools via pip
- Delete
C:\Users\<user>\.platformio
completely.
None of them worked
I get the following error with wheel:
Any help is highly appreciated.
I have uninstalled Anaconda and manually installed Python 3.12.1 from the official website. After deleting C:\Users<user>.platformio and installing the extension again from VS code, it seems I have managed to successfully install it (at least HOME opens properly and was able to open my project)
hi everyone, this helped me, i deleted first penv and python3 in C:\Users<user>.platformio directory, enabled the windows long path and it works again. thank you a lot
I had this problem, so I
upgraded python,
re-built wheel: ‘python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel’
uninstalled pio extension,
deleted .platformio,
enabled long pathnames (win11)
re-installed pio extension
…it worked
