Really wanting to make the arduino-cli work but I can't get it to recognize my Adafruit metro mini. I have downloaded and installed the arduino:avr core.
I tried forcing the compile with:
arduino-cli compile --fqbn arduino:avr:mini ~/test
which generated the error:
Error during build: fork/exec /home/walt/.arduino15/packages/builtin/tools/ctags/5.8-arduino11/ctags: no such file or directory
After two days of struggling, it seems to me that the arduino-cli is not quite ready for prime time.
This could happen if something went wrong during the installation of ctags, where /home/walt/.arduino15/packages/builtin/tools/ctags/5.8-arduino11 exists, but does not contain the ctags executable.
