Hi @jjvasquez59.

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:/Users/mx7890/AppData/Local/Temp/extrafiles2585332230/12-12-2024_ACIoT_00_Thing_dec12a.bootloader.bin'

As you might have already seen from the forum topic linked by @sterretje, the but that causes uploads to ESP32 boards to fail spuriously with this "No such file or directory" error has been reported to the Arduino Cloud developers. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

I suggest using Arduino IDE as a workaround until the bug is fixed. I provided details in that topic:

[Errno 2] No such file or directory:

Hi @felix_d_guzman. This bug has been reported to the Arduino Cloud developers I'll let you know if I receive any news from them about a resolution. Until then, I can suggest using Arduino IDE as a workaround. Arduino IDE has Arduino Cloud integration, which provides convenient access to the sketches from your Arduino Cloud account. I'll provide instructions you can follow to set up Arduino IDE and upload your sketch: Install Arduino IDE by following the instructions here. Start Arduino IDE.…

If you don't mind working from the command line, a community member shared an alternative workaround here:

Upload Error: exit status 2 | ESP32 (2024 again)

Thank you very much! This information is very helpful. I also found a workaround for this issue. You can upload the sketch directly from a terminal (such as CMD on Windows). Here's how: Copy the command shown in the error message into a terminal window. Correct the filenames in the command (make sure to include the ".ino" extension). Hit Enter, and the sketch will be uploaded directly using esptool. Although this method is less convenient than uploading from the editor, it works reliably and…

now I just try to verify my skteches, that in the morning were verified ok, now I get "Console
Error Verifying 12-12-2024_ACIoT_00_Thing_dec12a".

I think this is different from the uploading problem. I'm going to ask you to provide the full verbose output from a compilation.

This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.

Please do this:

1. Open your sketch in Arduino Cloud Editor.
2. Click the "Settings" icon at the bottom left corner of the page:
   
   
   
   The "Settings" panel will open.
3. Select the "Verbose output" radio button under the "Console verbosity" section of the "Settings" panel.
4. Click the ✓ button in the Cloud Editor toolbar.
5. Wait for the compilation to fail.
6. If the black "Console" panel at the bottom of the Cloud Editor page is minimized, click the ˄ icon at the right side of the "Console" toolbar to expand it.
7. Click the icon in the top right corner of the black "Console" panel at the bottom of the Cloud Editor page that looks like two pieces of paper ("Copy Console Output"):
   
   
8. Open a forum reply here by clicking the "Reply" button.
9. Click the <CODE/> icon on the post composer toolbar.
   This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
   
   
10. Press the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut (Command+V for macOS users).
    This will paste the compilation output into the code block.
11. Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
12. Click the "Reply" button to post the output.

In case the output is longer than the forum software will allow to be added to a post, you can instead save it to a .txt file and then attach that file to a reply here.

Click here for attachment instructions

1. Open any text editor program.
2. Paste the copied output into the text editor.
3. Save the file in .txt format.
4. Open a forum reply here by clicking the "Reply" button.
5. Click the "Upload" icon () on the post composer toolbar:
   
   
   
   The "Open" dialog will open.
6. Select the .txt file you saved from the "Open" dialog.
7. Click the "Open" button.
   The dialog will close.
8. Click the "Reply" button to publish the post.

Alternatively, instead of using the "Upload" icon on the post composer toolbar as described in steps (5) - (7) above, you can simply drag and drop the .txt file onto the post composer field to attach it.
