I ran into something odd today. The IDE thinks that a different version of a library was installed in my library folder. When I looked up the library in the IDE it reported as the latest version but what was actually installed was the previous version when I checked the library properties file in the library folder. The only way to get it to update to the latest version was to uninstall and reinstall that library. So, my question is, how can I force the IDE to re-inventory my library folder so that I can see what the actual version of each library I have installed is?
Which Arduino board are you using and which library are you having a problem with ?
I'm not really sure why either of those things would matter to the question I raised. The library happened to be the ESP-OTA library and the board that was selected in the IDE was the Adafruit QC ESP32-S3. But I don't know how many other libraries are affected if it is not displaying the an accurate version for that one, how many others could be wrong?
My question was how to force the IDE to reinventory what is installed, unless it does that every time you boot it up. In that case, something else is very, very wrong, since the version that was installed did not match what was displayed.
I asked tor the details because different boards may be using different libraries of the same name located in different places, but that does not apply to all libraries
It is my understanding that the IDE builds it inventory of installed libraries when started or when a different board is selected
Hi @ryancasler
Was that version 0.1.6?
When you say "reported", do you mean the version shown in the Arduino IDE Library Manager?:
Was that version 0.1.4, or 0.1.5?
