I’m trying to build a TASMOTA image using VS Code and the PlatformIO IDE. This is my first project using VSC & the PIO IDE. I used the Arduino IDE successfully, but it continue to be unstable from one invocation to the next.
I am getting an error and I want to enable verbose mode on the run to see if it gives any additional clues as to what is causing the error. I cannot figure out where to specify the --verbose option.
While I’m here, here is the terminal window output in case this is a straightforward problem resolution:
> Executing task: C:\Users\miingr\.platformio\penv\Scripts\platformio.exe run <
Processing sonoff (platform: espressif8266@1.7.0; board: esp01_1m; framework: arduino)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verbose mode can be enabled via `-v, --verbose` option

The esptool notification appears in the output in yellow as does the user_config_override.h warning. The header file has this warning message in it to ensure the user gets that notification. I do not know if the esptool message is that relevant as I am only trying to compile and link the image first. I think that esptool is used to flash the device… I’m uploading via the serial interface. I’m not sure that esptool is used in my setup. But, as I said, I’d first like to get to a successful build.
Regards.
