IDE hangs on startup: "invalid path creating config dir: ... error: mkdir ...: permission denied"

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

I have recently bought an Arduino and thus downloaded the Arduino IDE 2.1.0, it was working for a couple of days, 2 or 3 but now it seems to be stuck on the loading screen.

Thanks,
yeetus

Hi @yeetus_deletus. In order to gather more information that might help us to troubleshoot your problem, I'm going to ask you to run Arduino IDE from the command line, then share the output.

Please do this:

  1. Close all Arduino IDE windows if the IDE is already running.
  2. Open your Applications folder in Finder.
  3. Open the Utilities folder.
  4. Double-click on "Terminal".
  5. Type the following command in the Terminal window:
    "/Applications/Arduino IDE.app/Contents/MacOS/Arduino IDE"
  6. Press Enter
  7. Wait until you are sure the IDE startup has gone into the hang state
    (as indicated by no additional output being printed to the Terminal window).
  8. Switch back to the Terminal window if the Arduino IDE window took the focus.
  9. Press ⌘+A.
    This will select all the text in the Terminal window.
  10. Press ⌘+C.
    This will copy the selected text to the clipboard.
  11. Open a forum reply here by clicking the Reply button.
  12. Click the <CODE/> icon on the post composer toolbar.
    This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the output is correctly formatted.
    Code tags icon on toolbar
  13. Press ⌘+V.
    This will paste the output into the code block.
  14. Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
  15. Click the Reply button to post the output.

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

Did you change your macOS username from tejas.kulthe to tejaskulthe? Arduino IDE stores/reads data from several folders outside the installation folder. The paths to these folders are configured in a configuration file. The paths are under your user folder, so if you change your username, the IDE can no longer access the configured paths and this causes the startup to fail with the "permission denied" errors:

Please try this:

  1. Close all Arduino IDE windows if it is running.
  2. Open the folder at the following path in macOS Finder:
    /Users/tejaskulthe/.arduinoIDE
    :exclamation: The .arduinoIDE folder is hidden by default. You can make it visible by pressing the Command+Shift+. keyboard shortcut.
  3. Hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard and click on the arduino-cli.yaml file.
    A context menu will open.
  4. Select "Move to Trash" from the context menu.

Now try starting Arduino IDE again. Hopefully it will start up without any problems this time.

Some of your Arduino IDE preferences were stored in the arduino-cli.yaml file that is deleted by following the instructions I provided above. So if you have made any customizations to the preferences (e.g., adding URLs to the "Additional Boards Manager URLs" preference), you will need to select Arduino IDE > Settings from the Arduino IDE menus and then make your preferences in the "Preferences" dialog once again.
