I am running Arduino IDE version 2.3.6 on a Windows PC and I get compile errors but they don’t show up in the output window as they occur and then when I click the button to copy compile errors it doesn’t copy anything to the clipboard as I am used to seeing. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
No idea, but expand the error window and use selecyive screen grab. The first few errors are the important. Did you set prefs to verbose and warning level to default.
Generally, if you see red lines that go away, it's because they are warnings and the sketch uploaded ok.
Thanks for the reply...The error window doesn't appear at all, and I don't know how to use selecyive screen grab. Also, I am not sure where to set preferences.
In that case, perhaps start with the Arduino Cookbook in order to learn the basics first.
Selective screen grab is different with each OS and you can use 3rd party tools. I would use our most used tool google to find out how to do that.
I would ask google 'how do i do a selective screen grab on windows'
Good luck.
Windows selective screen grab :
Hold down the Windows key, shift and 'S'
Use the cursor to select the area to be copied
When you release the left mouse button the selected area will be copied to the clipboard ready to be pasted here
However, as you say
This will be of little use
I didn’t notice this message after the compile but this is why it doesn’t copy to the clipboard: ”The command 'arduino-verify-sketch' cannot be executed. There are no active handlers available for the command.” Does anyone know what this means or how to correct it?
any ideas of how to solve this mystery?
The command 'arduino-verify-sketch' cannot be executed. There are no active handlers available for the command.
I have deleted your other cross-post @iamiretheo.
Cross-posting is against the Arduino Forum rules. The reason is that duplicate posts can waste the time of the people trying to help. Someone might spend a lot of time investigating and writing a detailed answer on one topic, without knowing that someone else already did the same in the other topic.
Repeated cross-posting can result in a suspension from the forum.
In the future, please only create one topic for each distinct subject matter. This is basic forum etiquette, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. It contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
I do not know if I can help.
Can you post the content of the latest log file C:\Users\yourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Arduino IDE? If it's over 120000 bytes in size you can attach it. This might shine some light on the problem.
Errors relating to things like as handlers (and handle) might point to running out of memory on your computer. How much memory in use does windows task manager report?
My first attempt to solve the problem would be to close the IDE and open it again.
My second attempt would be a reboot of the computer.
I don’t know if this matters or not but I am running Windows 10 64bit
reverted back to an earlier version and problem solved!
I should have known better not to load the latest version of the IDE….
thanks everybody
I've been using IDE 2.3.6 since it came out and I haven't encountered your problem.
