IDE 2.1.1 Wont load

Not_Bob · August 15, 2023, 1:40am

ID 2.1.1 has been working fine since install until today. Nothing new installed on the system since it last worked.
I have tried uninstall reinstall 3 times. I've tried the ZIP download and the Nightly build. All fail to start.
IDE 1.8.x will run.
Searching the forums yielded no solution that worked for me.

I did find the PowerShell log walk through and here is the log.

Hi @Not_Bob. I see the relevant section of the logs here:

The IDE is attempting to automatically open the sketch you had open during the previous session at d:\Magicband41. But for some reason it encountered an error it didn't know how to deal with when it attempted that.

Workaround

The most simple workaround for the problem will be to force Arduino IDE to open some other non-problematic sketch. I'll describe two alternative approaches for doing that. You should perform whichever one of the two is most convenient for you:

If you have Arduino IDE associated with sketch files

Close the Arduino IDE window if it is still running.
Start Windows "File Explorer".
Open the folder of any sketch on your computer in File Explorer.
Double click on the .ino file in the sketch folder.
Wait for Arduino IDE to start up completely.
Select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus.
Start Arduino IDE directly, as you do normally.

Arduino IDE should now start up completely even when you open it not through file association. The reason is because by opening the non-problematic sketch, you caused it to no longer attempt to open the problematic d:\Magicband41 sketch.

If you don't Arduino IDE associated with sketch files

Close the Arduino IDE window if it is still running.
Start Windows "File Explorer".

Open the Arduino IDE installation folder:

C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Local\Programs\Arduino IDE

In the folder listing of the Arduino IDE installation folder, hold the Shift key while clicking the right hand button on the mouse.
From the context menu, click "Open PowerShell window here".
Windows PowerShell will now open with the current directory set to the Arduino IDE installation folder.

Type the following command:

& '.\Arduino IDE.exe' ".\resources\app\node_modules\arduino-ide-extension\Examples\01.Basics\BareMinimum\BareMinimum.ino"

Press the Enter key.
Wait for Arduino IDE to start up completely.
Select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus.
Start Arduino IDE directly, as you do normally.

Arduino IDE should now start up completely even when you open it not through file association. The reason is because by opening the non-problematic sketch, you caused it to no longer attempt to open the problematic d:\Magicband41 sketch.

Investigation

Under normal circumstances, if Arduino IDE is not able to find the previous sketch to restore, it simply falls back to opening a new sketch. I verified this is working for a sketch on a flash drive after I ejected the drive. However, we did receive a report of this error occurring when the sketch was on a network drive:

github.com/arduino/arduino-ide

IDE does not start when last project is on unavailable network path

opened 05:48PM - 08 Aug 23 UTC

closed 03:15PM - 20 Aug 23 UTC

conclusion: resolved topic: code type: imperfection

### Describe the problem When starting Arduino IDE 2.1.1, it tries to restore… the last opened project. If that project is on a shared folder that is now unavailable, the IDE never starts. It does not show an error message. It does not even open a window. Starting the IDE from CMD prints this: ``` Failed to start the electron application. [Error: UNKNOWN: unknown error, stat '\\192.168.1.20\Share\Test\main\main.ino'] { errno: -4094, code: 'UNKNOWN', syscall: 'stat', path: '\\\\192.168.1.20\\Share\\Test\\main\\main.ino' } ``` I had to remove the workspace-object from %AppData%\arduino-ide\config.json, then it started again. ### To reproduce 1. Create a new sketch 2. Save it on a shared folder (e.g. on a NAS or on a folder shared from a different computer) 3. Close Arduino IDE 4. Unplug your network cable / disconnect WiFi 5. Start Arduino IDE ### Expected behavior The IDE should start up, and show a new, empty project (possibly the default sketch that's also shown when clicking on File -> New Sketch). It should ideally show a warning that the previous project (insert path here) could not be reopened. ### Arduino IDE version 2.1.1 ### Operating system Windows ### Operating system version Windows 10 ### Additional context #### Additional reports - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/ide-2-0-4-not-starting/1096064 #### Related - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/ide-2-1-1-wont-load/1158292 - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/arduino-2-0-ide-does-not-launch/1059988 ### Issue checklist - [X] I searched for previous reports in [the issue tracker](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues?q=) - [X] I verified the problem still occurs when using the latest [nightly build](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software#nightly-builds) - [X] My report contains all necessary details

Is there something special about your D:\ drive, or is it just a normal hard drive or flash drive?

2 posts were split to a new topic: Serial Monitor will not connect to board

Not_Bob · August 15, 2023, 12:08pm

It is just a normal flash drive.
Drive assignment must have change after a reboot.
Thank you for the quick response, all is working now after opening it direct from the updated drive letter.

Thank You

ptillisch · August 15, 2023, 2:10pm

You are welcome. I'm glad it is working now.

The problem with the flash drive is definitely strange. I did find one previous report:

I notice the similarity of the problematic sketch also being on the D:\ drive in that report.

Do you have a D:\ drive now?

I know that the DVD drive is commonly assigned this drive letter on computers that have one. I could imagine that attempting to access a DVD drive that exists but doesn't have a disk inserted might produce unique conditions when compared to attempting to access a drive that doesn't exist. I'm wondering if that is the case on your machine.

Not_Bob · August 16, 2023, 3:56am

It is now showing up as Drive E.
Not sure why it changed, and I usually don't use a flash to store code on, but I needed to work between 2 machines for this code and the flash drive was the easiest way to allow that.
Lesson learned.

ptillisch · August 16, 2023, 4:09am

@Not_Bob it would be helpful for the investigation of this issue if you could answer the question I asked in my previous reply:

I understand that the flash drive is now being assigned the E:\ drive letter. What I am wondering is whether some other drive is now assigned the D:\ drive letter, and if so what that drive is (e.g., a DVD drive).

Not_Bob · August 16, 2023, 12:25pm

No D: drive present in the system.

ptillisch · August 16, 2023, 2:50pm

Thanks for the clarification! That is very useful.
