PlatformIO Tasks Missing

Allan Matthews asked 5 years ago

I don’t have the menu selection to add PlatformIO tasks. I do have a … drop down menu, but no PlatformIO tasks entry. I saw another forum entry with a similar problem. I have created a project, and still no ability to add it. Also, I get compilation errors refering to the adafruit bme280 library. The error on the library says ‘Adafruit_BME280.cpp.o” Error 1. The library is loaded. I can’t get any further with the course until I can get past these issues.

Hi Alan.

The PlatformIO tasks will show up once you create a new project in PIO.

Are you following the blinking LED project?

You don’t need to include those libraries on the platformio.ini file. Otherwise you’ll get an error because those libraries are not being used.

Delete any library that you have added to the platformio.ini file and the code should compile.

In those first instructions, my idea was just to show how you would proceed if you wanted to add libraries. I didn’t want to say to install the libraries. But, it seems those instructions are a bit confusing. I’ll need to change that.

I couldn’t see your picture. To share a picture, share a link to google drive, dropbox or imgur.

Regards,
Sara

Thank you Sara I’ll do those things. I’m still trying to find out how to delete a project.

Go to Documents/platformIO/Projects  and delete your project in that folder.
