'termios' error?

PlatformIO IDE
1

Hi all!

Loving PlatformIO, but recently ran into two problems that both return back a [“No module named ‘termios’”] error message.

First noticed this about a month ago, whenever I would click on a PlatformIO Home - Recent News link, the resulting error message would be:

OS_OPEN_URL

Server error: {"type":"ModuleNotFoundError","args":["No module named 'termios'"],"message":"No module named 'termios'"}

.Now, most recently, I am getting the same error message on a specific project when I try to compile it. It is an arduino UNO project with a touchscreen display. When I try to build this project, I get this error message in the terminal:

Verbose mode can be enabled via `-v, --verbose` option

  File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\lib\python3.8\site-packages\platformio\builder\main.py", line 181:
    env.SConscript("$BUILD_SCRIPT")

There are additional errors after those listed above, all pointing to errors in .py files which I assume is a result of the error posted above.

Here is my platformio.ini:

; PlatformIO Project Configuration File
;
;   Build options: build flags, source filter
;   Upload options: custom upload port, speed and extra flags
;   Library options: dependencies, extra library storages
;   Advanced options: extra scripting
;
; Please visit documentation for the other options and examples
; https://docs.platformio.org/page/projectconf.html

[env:uno]
platform = atmelavr
board = uno
framework = arduino

lib_extra_dirs = ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries
lib_deps = adafruit/Adafruit BusIO@^1.9.6

The lib_extra_dirs and lib_deps are the same as used in other project’s platformio.ini that build fine.

Some of my system info:

  • win10
  • Visual Studio Code v1.66 - just updated itself before writing this, but the problem occurred before this update
  • PlatformIO core 5.2.5

Thanks for any help,
Randy

PS - the project builds in the arduino IDE

Try a clean reinstall of PlatformIO. Close VSCode, remove your C:\Users\<user>\.platformio folder completely, restart VSCode, wait for the core reinstall to finish, restart VSCode, retry compiling the project.

Yes, this is what I was kind of thinking, re-install it. Thanks for the uninstall instructions, it worked. My code compiles and links on the PlatformIO home page work too!
