When doing "pio home" command the Terminall freezes

PlatformIO Core
1

When launching “pio home” command it opens a new tab in our default system web browser (Opera in my case), and the shell displays a home in ASCII art and nothing elses happens and the terminal still freeze until you kill the terminal.

Is this normal ?

I expect so… I have the same behaviour here on Linux. You can also click on the terminal to make sure it has input focus, and do a Ctrl+C to end the PIO task. When the web browser tab opens up, is it on the PIO home screen? pio home is supposed to start up a web server, which you connect to via http://127.0.0.1:8008 …

Yes, the script opens a webserver and keeps it open. Kill it with Ctrl+C if you must.

Something wrong everytime I launch a pio command through terminal after launching vscode. I have to close terminal (2) then only click on (3) (see image) and only after I can put a commande such as (“pio update”)
