Title: Where to set the python path in VS17 & vMicro?
Post by drs on Jul 5^th, 2019 at 10:11am

Hallo,
since new update I get an error when compiling arduino project:

Code (]Process: "C:\Users\TEST\AppData\Local\arduino15\packages\esp8266\hardware\esp8266\2.5.2\tools\python\python.exe" "C:\Users\TEST\AppData\Local\arduino15\packages\esp8266\hardware\esp8266\2.5.2/tools/makecorever.py" --build_path "C:\Users\TEST\AppData\Local\Temp\VMBuilds\ESP_WiFi\esp8266_d1_mini\Release" --platform_path "C:\Users\TEST\AppData\Local\arduino15\packages\esp8266\hardware\esp8266\2.5.2" --version "unix-2.5.2"
System cannot find File ...
[/code):

Where to set the python path? Because its seems wrong:
[code]runtime.tools.python={runtime.platform.path}/tools/python/python.exe
runtime.tools.python.windows={runtime.platform.path}/tools/python/python.exe

Thanx

Please do as I ask. The python path is set by the tool chain. when you install the tool chain you install whatever it uses.

So we will look at what you have installed and recommend the right solution but only if you provide the requested information.

There is one entry in the release notes that states you need to have the tool chain installed (index.json) otherwise tool chains discovered on disc are ignored. This falls in line with how the arduino ide works. It might just be a simple matter of ensuring you have the tool chain installed correctly.

Please ALWAYS supply the request info with compile and upload reports. It saves a lot of time and keeps costs down.

Aha, ok....next time ... thanks.
I copied the python stuff into the directory and now its working. Don't know why I did not recognize earlier that tools/python directory is missing. Seems that only required for new projects.

Thanks for the update but I am sorry, none of this makes sense. Users never need to install python and the tool chain path is not stored in a project unless you have overridden it with settings in a local board.txt. Visual Micro does not know that python is being used it just uses what is installed when you install boards using Board Manager or install manually into sketchBook\Hardware.

If you have any other issues I will need to see the full build output as described in yellow at the top of this page. That way we can actually see what type of configuration you are using. Without all that it will always be a mystery.
