VCS + Platformio suddenly stopped working

andreas.mka24 · October 13, 2020, 11:41am

what in the cornbreed hell ? oO

since yesterday SUDDENLY(!) platformio stopped working.

i used Win7 + VSC + Platformio all the time now and it was great, but now I get this

abstractExtensionService.ts:708 Activating extension ‘platformio.platformio-ide’ failed: EPERM: operation not permitted, read.

(node:3496) [DEP0005] DeprecationWarning: Buffer() is deprecated due to security and usability issues. Please use the Buffer.alloc(), Buffer.allocUnsafe(), or Buffer.from() methods instead.

then there also are some messages like

{message: “Git error”, stdout: “”, stderr: “fatal: e:\PlatformIO-Projects\MKA.pio: ‘e:\PlatformIO-Projects\MKA.pio’ is outside repository↵”, exitCode: 128}

but in my .gitignore the .pio-folder is set to ignore by git

what can I do to get it workung again? I already de-installed VSC and all the code btw. pio folders from AppData and re-installed all again, but I still get the same errors.

Do you have the full output of Help -> Toggle Developer Tools -> Console?

Is E:\ your standard drive or C:?

andreas.mka24 · October 13, 2020, 12:54pm

Hi

C: is my OS-partition, on E: I have all my projects

this is the full output:

maxgerhardt · October 13, 2020, 1:05pm

Can you expand the arrow to the left of the “Activating extension” error?

Also, is the error message correct in saying that E:\Platformio-Projects\MKA\.gitignore is outside a git repository? For that, the MKA folder would have to be a git repo. Consider temporarily moving this .gitignore file out of the folder.

andreas.mka24 · October 13, 2020, 1:22pm

sure, here is the extended message

yes the whole MKA-folder is a repo… it is the root of my MKA-project.

maxgerhardt · October 13, 2020, 1:28pm

And what’s the message underneath the expanded message with “[Extension Host] %Object”?

Can you open a command window (Windows+R, cmd.exe) and do:

E:
cd E:\Platformio-Projects\MKA\
git status

to verify that this is indeed a git folder?

andreas.mka24 · October 13, 2020, 1:39pm

this is the git-message

/C:/Users/adminator/…desktop.main.js:287 [Extension Host]%
Object
exitCode: 128
message: “Git error”
stderr: “fatal: e:\PlatformIO-Projects\MKA.gitignore: ‘e:\PlatformIO-Projects\MKA.gitignore’ is outside repository↵”
stdout: “”
proto: Object

yes I just done it, my branch ‘origin/master’ is up to date ^^

maxgerhardt · October 13, 2020, 1:47pm

Hm… Temporarily moving the subcontents of E:\Platformio-Projects\ somewhere else so that that folder is now empty doesn’t make a difference, too?

andreas.mka24 · October 13, 2020, 2:09pm

no when I open a new folder, this “abstractExtensionService.ts:708 Activating extension ‘platformio.platformio-ide’ failed: EPERM: operation not permitted, read.” error appears also.

maxgerhardt · October 13, 2020, 2:13pm

Well if the E:\Platformio-Projects\ has normal read / write permissions, then I’m genuinely out ideas. Maybe @ivankravets can debug this.

andreas.mka24 · October 13, 2020, 9:04pm

I run Win7 and this happens also when I open a new VSC-window, sooo…

I really don’t know what to do anymore… I tried to purge all vsc-files/extensions multiple times now from my system, cleared the registry, etc.

but even if I make a brand new install of vsc and then install platformio-ide, this error occurs -.-

andreas.mka24 · October 14, 2020, 8:40am

I have seen a other error in the console (shift+ö)

[14.10.2020, 10:38:48] Die Konfiguration mit compilerPath “C:/Users/adminator/.platformio/packages/toolchain-gccarmnoneeabi/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe” kann nicht aufgelöst werden.

maybe this helps

ivankravets · October 14, 2020, 6:18pm

Sorry, I don’t have any ideas

andreas.mka24 · October 15, 2020, 9:00am

that means i have to move a ton of stuff and own-libs now back to arduinoIDE …that will be a odysee

why is there no standalone-platformio? -.-

maxgerhardt · October 15, 2020, 9:49am

You can always use it from the CLI, was always possible. PlatformIO Core (CLI) — PlatformIO latest documentation

Also a ton of other IDEs are available. See Cloud & Desktop IDEs — PlatformIO latest documentation

Other than a really-really clean re-install of Windows or usage of a VM with Linux I have no other idea for your particular configuration problem.

ivankravets · October 15, 2020, 5:36pm

Does it work from CLI as @maxgerhardt recommends in VCS + Platformio suddenly stopped working - #15 by maxgerhardt ?

andreas.mka24 · October 16, 2020, 10:26am

No I cant even install the core -.-

I have Python 3.7.4 installed… i download the get-platformio.py and do

python get-platformio.py --help

but i get

I’ve edited your post to use preformatted text instead of blockquote and repaired the forced newlines as good as I could. All formatting expect preformatted text treats angular brackets as HTML tags and basically swallows them.
