When opening files on a server, file does not open, get a blank instead

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

HI,

Windows 11 user, Arduino IDE ver 2.3.2. I have just saved a program file to a server location from my normal sketchbook location on my local hard drive. there is no issue with the local version of the code.

I have not changed my sketchbook, the file is saved in the remote location, ( I edited a comment in to say it is the remote version with notepad) when I come to open it from the ide, I can browse to the code, however the IDE just opens as a new program, not the code I was hoping for.

What have I done wrong?

Thanks Ian

Hi @ianmorris1960_2. It sounds like you are encountering this bug:

:exclamation: Please only comment on the GitHub issue threads if you have some significant technical information that will assist the developers in the resolution. The forum should be used for all discussion and support.

If so, the workaround is to map the network location to a drive, then open sketches from the path under that drive instead of the UNC path:
