[Fixed/Solved] Arduino-cli creates 2 folders. Is it normal

Hello.

I just noticed that after running arduino-cli core update-index, arduino-cli creates 2 folders inside the same folder where the arduino-cli binary is, called worda and wordb.

Is this normal?
And I think it creates the same folders from wherever I run arduino-cli binary. I mean, if I'm inside some project folder and run arduino-cli from there, it will also create the same folders in this folder!

Hi @PsySc0rpi0n. Please post the output of the arduino-cli version command.

Sorry, completely forgot.

$ ./arduino-cli version
arduino-cli  Version: 0.35.2 Commit: 01de174c Date: 2024-01-24T11:33:03Z

Thanks. I gave it a try with that version of Arduino CLI and was not able to reproduce the problem.

Please post the output of the arduino-cli core update-index --verbose command.

Sorry the delay.
I was having also other issues and I end up deleteing my ~/.arduino15 folder and also the arduino-cli folder. Re-downloaded arduino-cli, restarted a new config init an dnow it seems to be working fine! Can't see these 2 folders anymore!

One other issue I was having was that any time I ran update-index and/or upgrade I could see packages being downloaded and installed over and over again each time!
Anyway, problem, seems to be solved!

Congratulations on finding a solution! I'm glad it is working now. Thank you for taking the time to post an update.

Regards,
Per
