Unable to build a simple project

minionop · August 7, 2021, 10:37pm

Hello everyone, I’m still new to using platform.io and I’m having a difficult time building a simple blink program. I’ve tried uninstalling both vscode and platformio but the problem still persist. I would appreciate any help. Thank you very much.

main.cpp

#include <Arduino.h>

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN,OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN,HIGH);
  delay(1000);
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN,LOW);
}

Either your toolchain was corrupted or antivirus is blocking execution of it.

As a first step, please remove the C:\Users\<user>\.platformio\packages\toolchain-atmelavr folder completely, then try building again.

minionop · August 8, 2021, 12:55am

Hi, I disabled my firewall and deleted the toolchain-atmelavr folder and rebuilding but the error is still there.

maxgerhardt · August 8, 2021, 12:56am

Open a CLI and execute

C:\Users\<user>\.platformio\packages\toolchain-atmelavr\bin\avr-gcc --version

what does it output?

Looking good, so at least avr-gcc does not seem corrupted.

Do you have an antivirus program active on the system beyond Windows Defender?

minionop · August 8, 2021, 1:25am

No, I double checked and window defender should be the only one I have on this computer

maxgerhardt · August 8, 2021, 1:26am

Can you copy-paste the output of the project task “Advanced → Verbose Build”?

Funny how it works inside the shell, exit code 0 is ‘success’.

I see that PlatformIO is installed on the C: drive and the project is on D:. Does this project, when created in the standard C:\Users\<user>\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects folder also fail the same way? Is D:\ a network-mapped drive?

Remember if a new project is created, you must manually switch to it with the project environment switcher.

minionop · August 8, 2021, 1:50am

I was not aware of the environment switcher but when I recreated the project in the default folder it still produces the same error.

Running the two commands in the CLI:

I really have no idea why individual compiler commands work in a CLI but not when PlatformIO invokes it. My first huch is always an interfering antivirus, but if you say there is none, then that can’t be.

Try a complete clean reinstall. First, remove the PlatformIO VSCode extension, close VSCode, remove the C:\Users\<user>\.platformio folder completely, then restart VSCode and install the PlatformIO extension.

Then try to create a new project again, but this one without spaces in the project name for safety reasons, and attempt to build it again.

minionop · August 8, 2021, 2:11am

Alright, I completely deleted everything platformio related and reinstalled the extension but the issue still persist. I’m not sure what the problem is either.

maxgerhardt · August 8, 2021, 2:13am

For reference what does pio system info output in the CLI?

Does the behavior change after you do a pio upgrade --dev?

That all looks correct and standard.

Please open an issue at Issues · platformio/platformio-vscode-ide · GitHub with your original error message and picture for further help by the developes – I’m out of ideas here.
