TypeError: Tried to lookup Dir

PlatformIO IDE

This just started happening when cloning and loading up in VS Code.
Any ideas what might be causing this?

And that happens with what platformio.ini?

I haven’t changed anything in my platformio.ini.

This is the repo. If you clone it and then copy platformio.ini.sample to platformio.ini, then load it up in VS Code it should give the error messages above. That’s what I did to reproduce it. Happens on OXS and Linux. I haven’t tired on Windows yet but I suspect it’s something with platformio.

Found the issue. It was in my platformio.ini file.
I had board_build.filesystem = littlefs in the [env] section and it needed to be in [esp32_base].
