Unable to build any project - Help me

PlatformIO IDE
1

Hi everybody!

I am tring to fix a problema with my installation of PlatformIO over VS Code for two days. I coded, builded and uploaded Arduino Mega project for about one year. I don’t know why it not works anymore since Friday.
Trying to fix the problema, I have reinstalled it for about ten times, change versions… but i ever get the same error.
The envoriment is Windows 10, VS Code 1.44.2, PlatformIO 1.10.0.

Here a very basic code (and any other one) that not works (main.cpp file on /src folder):

#include <Arduino.h>

int a;

void setup() {
  a = 5;
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}

The platformio.ini file is:

[env:megaatmega2560]
platform = atmelavr
board = megaatmega2560
framework = arduino

When I build the project, this error happens:

PS C:\Users\Dev\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\Test> C:\Users\Dev\.platformio\penv\Scripts\platformio.exe run -v

o_O sounds like startup code cannot find the framework files? I suggest that you open a Windows explorer, navigate to C:\Users\Dev\.platformio\packages and delete every folder found inside this repository. PlatformIO will re-download everything upon the next compile, in a hopefully clean version.

Hi @maxgerhardt, thanks for your help!

I just deleted every folders inside packages. Alfter, I open Visual Code, it reloads a lot of things. But, after it, I got this two messages before build:

#include errors detected. Please update your includePath. Squiggles are disabled for this translation unit (C:\Users\Dev\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\Test\src\main.cpp).
cannot open source file “Arduino.h”

So, i thinked it is was caused for the deleted packages.
I tryed again to build and got the other problem:

C:\Users\Dev.platformio\penv\Scripts\platformio.exe run <

And the "#include <Arduino.h> is red underlined and the two problems still is showed.

Yes, the Intellisense errors are temporary for until the files are redownloaded.

Is there any antivirus program running on your PC, which you could temporarily disable? I don’t see why that should fail now.

Also can you give the result of a “Verbose Build” within VSCode?

@maxgerhardt, the problem was caused by the antivirus.
I don’t believe it was so simple problem! More than twety hours lost.
But it is a kind of surprises caused by multiple users machine. My daugther has installed a new antivirus.
Thanks a lot, dude!!!

Still seems like broken framework files to me. Try to delete C:\Users\<User>\.platformio\packages and retry.
