Error message, failed Build and Upload

Just updated VM and now getting this
Quote:

Error during processing of the command. Please review or post the stack trace in the www.visualmicro.com forumObject reference not set to an instance of an object. (Visual.Micro.Visual.Studio.Arduino.Helper.SketchCompileUpload)


But the file uploads OK as a separate operation.

I have also noticed another strange effect - maybe not at all related.  The output goes into
obj\ARM\Release instead of Release.  The ARM element is a little confusing to say the least.

I also have a problem in debug configuration that I will post separately.

Thanks

Thanks for the report.

I assume you have another (non vMicro) project in the solution, which is set as the Startup Project when this happens?

If this is correct, to work around the issue either:
1) Set the "client-with-wifi" project as the startup project
2) Enable vMicro > General > Active Code has Priority Over Solution Explorer and ensure the client-with-wifi.ino file is the open and focused document when performing the build and upload.

We will update when there is more resiliency added to resolve this issue.


more info: If you have enabled the visual micro "copy output to intermediate" option then the result of the comliation is copied to the folder specified as the "Intermediate build folder" in the project properties. Visual Studio allows the path to inclue macros such as $(Configuration) or $(Platform). Thesse relate to whatever platform and configuration you have selected (see the tool bar). This is std. VS functionality that can optionally also be used to enhance the build process. You can switch it off if you don't need the output copied to a specific folder.

Simon.
Thanks for the response.  But I don't think so.  Not sure exactly what "non Vmicro" means, but it was the only project that was not an Arduino library added as a shared project, or a library cloned to the solution.  I always make sure it's highlighted and set as startup, then build and upload from the vMicro menu - been burned before.

I just re-ran the build making sure it is set up as you said: same result.

As I said, this is new since I installed version 2.2023.0220 yesterday.
