Ignoring library with bad name - ArduinoJson 3

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hi everyone

On my MACBOOK PRO, I have installed Arduino 1.8.12. I am now receiving an error "Ignoring library with bad name" containing the following text.

"
The library "ArduinoJson 3" cannot be used.
Library folder names must start with a letter or number, followed by letters,
numbers, dashes, dots and underscores. Maximum length is 63 characters
"

When I press “OK” I get a similar message according "ArduinoJson 2" and after that "ArduinoJson 4" and "ArduinoJson 5".

This is extremely annoying and I have tried reinstall the ArduinoJson library, but it doesn't matter.

I am not using ArduinoJson for anything and just like it to be removed completely.

Any suggestions how to eliminate this error please :slight_smile:

Best regards
Bjarke

  3. Click the Cancel button.
  4. Open the sketchbook path in Finder.
  5. Open the libraries subfolder of the sketchbook folder.
  6. Delete the folders with spaces in their names.
