Need restart IDE after compile

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hi everyone,

I have installed Arduino IDE 1.8.13 and have very annoying problem with it (i guess). I have to restart the IDE after every single compilation/upload.

I've tried simple exmaple program Blink on boards Arduino One and NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module).
I can compile my program once but if i click to compile once again (even without any changes in code) i've got a error message

Error compiling for board NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module).
  • here is for NodeMCU but the same problem occurs with base Arduino One.

I've read about some problem with cache. In preferences.txt i've tried to manipulate of the following parameters:
cache.enable=false/true
compiler.cache_core=false/true
But no matter if those parameters are set to true or false it doesn't solve the problem.

I've read also i can be a problem with long paths in Windows but:

  1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem - LongPathsEnabled = 1 ... and never experienced any problem with long paths
  2. On my old machine (same windows version) where i have IDE 1.8.10 everything works fine (and btw. there LongPathsEnabled is set to 0).

Any ideas?

File -> preferences, enable verbose output when compiling, try to compile again, and post the error it prints when attempting to compile.

okay no problem but i don't think someone can find anything basing on it - but maybe i'm wrong

Error compiling for board NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module).

Ohhhhh! It's THAT bug! The "error compiling for board" with no other information.

There is a straightforward fix for that, and I used to remember what it was, but then people stopped running into it for a while, and since then I've forgotten how to fix it... The fix is in this section somewhere...
