Pro Micro programming issue

I am trying to program a Pro Micro, but it doesn't allow me to get the sketch uploaded when I reset the board to be recognized on the com port. I receive this upload error:

"Sketch uses 3462 bytes (12%) of program storage space. Maximum is 28672 bytes.
Global variables use 149 bytes (5%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2411 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2560 bytes.
Connecting to programmer: .
Found programmer: Id = "CATERIN"; type = S
Software Version = 1.0; No Hardware Version given.
Programmer supports auto addr increment.
Programmer supports buffered memory access with buffersize=128 bytes.

Programmer supports the following devices:
Device code: 0x44"

When I check the sketch, everything is showing good-to-go. I am trying to program it as an Arduino Leonardo board. Any ideas how to get past the above error? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Is this the 'upload error'?

:smiley_cat:

Yes, this is the upload error. When it gets done, the Pro Micro has a red led that stays on too.

It's not an error. Normal behaviour in IDE 2.0.

You must pay attention to the notifications in the right bottom, it will tell you if the upload failed or succeeded.

sterretje, thank you, I noticed last night that it actually took the code and was working when I wired a button to the Pro Micro. I was afraid I was having an issue with the Pro Micro being recognized as a HID or USB, but it was not. Thanks for the help! My issue is resolved.

Yes, I recently was programming a Leonardo and got the same message. I also initially thought it wa an error as it came up in red, but I then realised that the upload was, in fact, succeeding so its not an error, but it does unfortunately give that impression. I think its meant to be just informational.
