This update breaks PlatformIO/Atom for me. After restarting atom, the edtior becomes unsresponsive, one Atom thread goes to 40% CPU load (on a quad core), memory consumption of this thread goes up until Atom crashes at around 2.4 GByte memory.

What I did:

  • Removed Atom and PlatformIO, did a clean reinstall of Atom -> Atom behaves properly.
  • Installed PlatformIO 2.0 Beta, restarted Atom -> Memory consumption goes through the ceiling again and Atom crashes

How can I install PlatformIO 1.7?

Could you the latest development build?

Open OS Terminal and run

apm uninstall platformio-atom-ide
apm install --production platformio/platformio-atom-ide

I cant seem to install platformio at all.
i followed the instructions in the docs and nothing happens. none of the menu items for platformio do anything.

I tried installing through cli and get:
C:\Users\Ryan>apm install --production platformio/platformio-atom-ide Cloning https://github.com/platformio/platformio-atom-ide.git failed Installing modules done Cannot read property 'getReferenceTarget' of null

You don’t need to use a development version of PIO IDE 2.0. It was officially released in Atom registry.

  1. Settings :gear: > Packages > Search for platformio-ide and uninstall it.
  2. Settings > Install > Search for platformio-ide and install latest stable beta version.
