Byte not recognised after updating to Ver 2.0.0 rc-8

[latedev]

I had a problem compiling my program after updating to the latest cli version, which was byte not recognised.
Prior to the update it worked ok with no compile errors.
History was I was having problems with a hdd, which I swapped out and created a new project folder on the latest drive, and copied all the files into the new project folder.
I checked the paths were ok and set up the same, however when I came to compile I got the above error.

I have no idea where the build file is for this, so would presume, it may have something to do with the build file, however all I did do was add #include <Arduino.h> in the ino file and the sketch compiled error free.

Version: 2.0.0-rc8
Date: 2022-06-23T09:36:07.533Z
CLI Version: 0.24.0 [c1b10f56]

Hi @latedev. Thanks for your report.

@latedev

after updating to the latest cli version

What do you mean by this? Did you change the version of Arduino CLI that is bundled with Arduino IDE 2.0.0-rc8?

@latedev

when I came to compile I got the above error.

Please provide the full and exact text of the error message.

Which board do you have selected in the Arduino IDE?

Does the error occur if you compile this sketch?:

byte x = 42;
void setup() {}
void loop() {}

This code should be placed in the .ino file of a new sketch, not added to an existing project.

I found the problem when going through answering your questions.

Thanks.

The problem was I had entered #include "Arduino.h" which I presume would have over-ridden the #include <Arduino.h> thus negating any and all defined names, within that file.
