NodeMCU ESP8266 compilation terminated error "no such file or directory" while using with IDE

[emirhansolak]

I downloaded the necessary files to use NodeMCU ESP8266 with Arduino IDE but i keep getting this error message:
cc1plus.exe: fatal error: C:\Users\TARÇIN\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp8266\hardware\esp8266\3.1.1\cores\esp8266\CommonHFile.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

exit status 1

Compilation error: exit status 1
When i looked at the location there was a file named CommonHFile.h. What is causing this problem?

i don't see anything similar to CommonHFile.h under my esp8266 libraries

guessing it's part of the application code you copied and is missing is mis-named

libraries find ESP8266* -name "*.h" | awk -F/ '{ print $NF }' | sort  -u
