My code builds correctly, however I am getting a strange “Verification failure” error when I try to upload to my ESP32.
I am getting this error in two scenarios:
-
When I create a new project now
- I have created multiple projects which worked before this which worked. When I copy the code or the platform.ini files from those projects and copy them exactly into a new project, I get the error below.
-
When I try to extend one of my previously working projects to use code from a new internal library.
Again, the code builds successfully, but upload results in the shortened/ attenuated following output:

Here is my platform.ini file for context (but note, it still fails with “Verification failure” if I create a new project with no libraries that’s just supposed to print Hello World):
