Hi Sara sand Rui, 
I hope your are doing well. One more time, thanks fro your great job.

I have a problem using VSCode/ platformIO on my mac : I don’t have the platform menu, on step 3. of the fllowing list(see at the page 184 of the “build web servers ed 2.1”)

I tried theses steps :

  1. Click the PIO icon at the left sidebar. The project tasks should open.
  2. Select env:esp12e or env:esp32doit-devkit-v1 (it may be slightly different
    depending on the board you’re using).
  3. ExpandthePlatformmenu.
  4. Select Build Filesystem Image.
  5. Finally,clickUploadFilesystemImage.

II get it on my RPI4, but not on my Macbook; do you know any reason ?
Thanks a lot for you answer.

JM

Hi.
Can you uninstall and install PlatformIO again?
Go to the Extensions tab and select the PlatformIO IDE extension. Click the uninstall button. Close VS Code.
Install the PlatformIO extension again and restart VS Code. Then, tell me if the problem was solved.
Regards,
Sara

Thanks Sara for your quick answer. I did it (more than one time) but no change :
I use macOS BigSur V 11.2.3, VSCode 1.55.2, PlatformIO IDE 2.3.2.
( I’d like to insert here a screenshot but I don’t know how)
Loading  SPIFFS with Arduino is OK, but with your tutorials, I discovered  VSCode and now I use it instead of Arduino IDE.
Regards,
JM

Hi.
It seems similar to this issue: https://rntlab.com/question/platform-menu-building-file-system-image-os-x-esp32-webserver-course/
Can you try to follow my suggestions at that discussion and see if that solves the problem?
Regards,

Hi.
 
That error seems to be “normal” and shouldn’t compromise the operation of PIO. See it here: https://community.platformio.org/t/platformio-libraries-updates-not-working-after-updating-to-5-x/16638/10
 
I’m not sure how to troubleshoot this issue. 
 
Are you running the project from the folder provided in the course, or have you created the project yourself?
Try both ways and see if you get a different result.
 
Otherwise, I would suggest that you post your issue in the PlatformIO forum: https://community.platformio.org/
I’m sorry, but I’m out of ideas of what might be causing the issue.
 
Regards,
Sara

Sara, 
Thanks for you help.
Yes I run the project from the folder provided in the course.
It is the same with an other project.
I’ll post in the PIO platform.
