Warning: Path is not a directory: "/home/ivan/.platformio/packages/toolchain-xtensa32/bin/xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc"

platform = espressif32
board = esp32doit-devkit-v1

Everything compiles and works. But all the time a message pops up that:

Path is not a directory: "/home/ivan/.platformio/packages/toolchain-xtensa32/bin/xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc".
I tried to add:
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.platformio/packages/toolchain-xtensa32/bin/
Entering the command:
xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc -v
I get the answer:

So the patch works. Why then after compilation the warning remains?

2

When you do something specifically, like e.g. compile or upload? Or is completely random when this message pops up? Where does it pop up? In the VSCode IDE?

3

Immediately after the opening of the project. And after compilation remains.

4

Try making sure you’re running the latest platformio core (currently 3.6.6) (platformio alien head → Miscellaneous → Upgrade PlatformIO Core or via the command palette) as I’m pretty sure there was a workout for that warning (introduced by the Microsoft C++ extension March update) was introduced there. I don’t seem to be getting it any more anyway…

5

Yes version 3.6.6.
An analog problem also occurs with projects on the ESP8266 processor

“Path is not a directory: “/home/ivan/.platformio/packages/toolchain-xtensa/bin/xtensa-lx106-elf-gcc”.”

Although the files are physically available on disk.

lol… I spoke to soon… next ESP8266 project I created started giving that same error.

And the error is correct… the path to a file is not the path do a directory now, is it? :laughing:

Looks like there’s more workarounds needed because of that stupid March C++ extension update! :frowning_face:

7

I understand correctly that this does not affect the correct operation? Wait fix?

8

Correct… it is merely a message coming from the C++ extension, complaining about formatting of the configuration file that it doesn’t like. You can safely ignore it.

Thank you for taking the time to answer.
