espexceptiondecoder cannot be installed on the new arduino ide. It would be nice if it already came on Arduino. I can't solve the crash of my esp 8266 without this. and arduino moved the document libraries to appdata and sometimes it doesn't read them. With each update I understand less.

This is a known issue. Just use Arduino 1.8.19 to get the decoder results.

Hi @jonht77. The old "ESP Exception Decoder" tool is very specific to the Java-based Arduino IDE 1.x. There is no way to make it work with Arduino IDE 2.x. But that doesn't matter because there is now a replacement tool:

Give it a try and let us know if you have any questions or problems while using it.

I don't understand what you mean by this. Please provide a detailed description of what you mean by "document libraries" and "doesn't read them".

FYI

The exception decoder is not part of the IDE; it's a 3rd party tool and the 3rd party must make it available for the new IDE.

It looks like you didn't correctly follow the installation instructions. I'll provide more detailed instructions you can follow to remove the bad installation and then reinstall it. Please make sure to follow each step very carefully.

  1. Select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus if it is running.
    All Arduino IDE windows will close.
  2. Delete the folder at the following path:
    C:\Users\jonatan\.arduinoIDE\plugins\esp-exception-decoder\
  3. Click the following link to open the release page in the extension's GitHub repository in your web browser:
    https://github.com/dankeboy36/esp-exception-decoder/releases/latest
  4. Click the esp-exception-decoder-1.0.2.vsix link under the "Assets" section of the page.
    A download will start.
  5. Wait for the download to finish.
  6. Copy the downloaded esp-exception-decoder-1.0.2.vsix file to the folder at the following path:
    C:\Users\jonatan\.arduinoIDE\plugins\
  7. Start Arduino IDE.

Now try running the ESP Exception Decoder: Show Decoder Terminal command again in Arduino IDE, just as you did before. Hopefully this time the Exception Decoder panel will open at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window as expected.

Please let me know if you have any questions or problems while following those instructions.
