May be it does not like some of the characters in the path ➜ change the �� to something in ASCII, with no spaces

its_omar · March 11, 2024, 5:45pm

the probloem is i dont have any folder called like this

its_omar · March 11, 2024, 5:52pm

it was documents folder @J-M-L
nothing special

J-M-L · March 11, 2024, 6:00pm

why does it show as �� ?

its_omar · March 11, 2024, 6:01pm

idk @J-M-L
i think because this :fatal error: Adafruit_Sensor.h: No such file or directory
#include <Adafruit_Sensor.h>

J-M-L · March 11, 2024, 6:04pm

did you install the Adafruit_Sensor libraries and where ?

so can you rename المستندات into documents for the time being?

I wonder if some scripts could get confused with multibyte encoding

which version of the IDE are you using?

its_omar · March 11, 2024, 6:11pm

1.8.19

J-M-L · March 11, 2024, 6:11pm

have you installed all the libraries using the IDE?

its_omar · March 11, 2024, 6:12pm

no @J-M-L

its_omar · March 11, 2024, 6:18pm

@J-M-L
?what

J-M-L · March 11, 2024, 6:19pm

read about how to use the IDE and the getting started

I wonder if it's related to this open issue (TL;DR - non ASCII characters in the directory path cause problems):

github.com/arduino/arduino-cli

Spurious "No such file or directory" error when library's path contains post-ASCII characters

opened 07:00PM - 26 Dec 19 UTC

topic: code type: imperfection

### Describe the problem If a library is installed under a path that contains… Cyrillic characters, Arduino CLI is unable to discover it. Compilation of sketches with an `#include` directive for a header file of a valid library fails with a "`No such file or directory`" error. ### To reproduce ```text $ arduino-cli version arduino-cli.exe Version: git-snapshot Commit: 4b70e023 Date: 2023-01-31T03:19:27Z $ export ARDUINO_DIRECTORIES_USER="/tmp/arduino-cli-directories/мікроконтролер" $ arduino-cli lib install Arduino_JSON [...] $ mkdir /tmp/FooSketch $ printf "#include <Arduino_JSON.h>\nvoid setup() {}\nvoid loop() {}" > /tmp/FooSketch/FooSketch.ino $ arduino-cli compile --fqbn arduino:avr:uno /tmp/FooSketch/FooSketch.ino C:\Users\per\AppData\Local\Temp\FooSketch\FooSketch.ino:1:10: fatal error: Arduino_JSON.h: No such file or directory #include <Arduino_JSON.h> ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. Used library Version Path Arduino_JSON 0.2.0 C:\Users\per\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino-cli-directories\мікроконтролер\libraries\Arduino_JSON Used platform Version Path arduino:avr 1.8.6 C:\Users\per\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\avr\1.8.6 Error during build: exit status 1 ``` ### Expected behavior Any path supported by the file system is also supported by the library discovery system ### Arduino CLI version #### Original report Arduino IDE 1.8.10 #### Last verified with 4b70e023 ### Operating system Windows ### Operating system version - 10 - 11 ### Additional context The issue is not specific to Cyrillic. For example, it also occurs with a folder named `文` or `Κώστας`. --- The fault only occurs on Windows. I am not able to reproduce it on Ubuntu 22.04 or macOS Ventura machines. --- After changing system's locale from English to Bulgarian (win1251) + restart, the compilation succeeded. Unfortunately this is not viable solution, because we have many computers (>150) and changing system locale requires admin privileges. My suggestion is that the IDE is not using the unicode version of the API when searching for libraries? --- This is more likely to occur for those using [Microsoft **Onedrive**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OneDrive) because the default location of the sketchbook is: ```text C:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\<localized "Documents">\Arduino ``` The `<localized "Documents">` in the path above is a placeholder the word "Documents" localized for the user's locale (e.g., `文档` or `Документы`) #### Additional reports - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/wemos-d1-mini-upload-problem/1084371 - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/no-such-file-or-directory-but-i-already-had-this-file/961118 - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/fatal-error-adafruit-neopixel-h-no-such-file-or-directory-but-i-have-it/1070069/15 - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/library-gives-error/1089633 - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/except-for-the-available-libraries-i-cant-use-other-libraries-even-though-i-have-downloaded-them/1092556 - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/compilation-error-due-to-library-hpp-file-not-being-detected/1127096 - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/which-arduino-nano-clone-i-have/1192347/11 - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/cannot-verify-the-arduino-code-because-the-installed-library-cannot-be-found/1215989 - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/10-fatal-error-onewire-h-no-such-file-or-directory/1223739 - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/unknown-error-for-arduino-1-8-19/1234260 ### Issue checklist - [X] I searched for previous reports in [the issue tracker](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/issues?q=) - [X] I verified the problem still occurs when using the [nightly build](https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/dev/installation/#nightly-builds) - [X] My report contains all necessary details

Hi @its_omar

It is not clear to me what procedure you have followed. I'll provide complete instructions for the procedure you should have followed to work around the bug mentioned by @van_der_decken. You'll have to adapt them according to whatever you have already done:

Select File > Preferences... (or Arduino IDE > Settings... for macOS users) from the Arduino IDE menus.
The "Preferences" dialog will open.
Click the "BROWSE" button on the right side of the "Sketchbook location" field.
The "Select a new sketchbook location" dialog will open.
Select a folder in any location that contains only basic ASCII characters (the characters A-z, 0-9, _, -, . are safe).
Make sure to pick a location that will be safe to store your files since, in addition to containing installed libraries, the sketchbook is a convenient location to save your sketches.
Click the "Choose" button in the "Select a new sketchbook location" dialog.
Click the "OK" button in the "Preferences" dialog.
Move all the files from the folder at the path of the old sketchbook location:
```
C:\Users\Omar Sowwan\OneDrive\المستندات\Arduino\libraries
```
to the folder at the path of the new sketchbook location you set in the Arduino IDE preferences.

Once you have finished performing the instructions above, try compiling your sketch again. Hopefully the compilation will be successful this time.
