I have not seen this topic yet. Using IDE2.0.3. Occasional disabled library manager (gray, non-clickable) via keyboard or pointer so I can not search for or add libraries. Closing the app and opening again soothes the issue, but does not solve it (I can work without a solution). Using: x64, 2-core, 4GB RAM running MS Windows11
Hi @xfpd. I think the best thing to do to start the investigation is checking whether any clues are present in the logs produced by one of the sessions where the fault occurs.
Please do this:
- Start Windows "File Explorer".
- Open the Arduino IDE installation folder.
(usuallyC:\Program Files\Arduino IDE
orC:\Users\<user name>\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"
- Press the Enter key.
Debug output should now be printed to the PowerShell window as the Arduino IDE starts. - Wait for the Arduino IDE to finish starting.
- Check Library Manager to see whether the fault occurred. If not, select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus and restart the instructions from step (1). Open a new PowerShell window when you do that in order to avoid including the logs from the "good" IDE session.
- Switch back to the PowerShell window.
- Right click on the title bar of the PowerShell window.
This will open a context menu. - Select Edit > Select All from the context menu.
This will select all the text in the PowerShell window. - Press Ctrl+C.
This will copy the contents of the PowerShell window to the clipboard. - Open a forum reply here by clicking the Reply button.
- Click the
</>
icon on the post composer toolbar.
This will add the forum's code block markup (```
) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
- Press Ctrl+V.
This will paste the output into the code block. - Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
- Click the Reply button to post the output.
Please let me know if you have any questions or problems while following those instructions.
Thank you for all this information. I will refer to it often, and if it solves, you get another "solved" and "heart" badge.
The instructions I provided above are not expected to solve the problem. They are only intended to gather more information that might allow us to find a solution or identify a bug.
Okay. Yes, I see (and am annotating) differences.
