VSCode
Version: 1.50.1

Electron: 9.2.1
Chrome: 83.0.4103.122
Node.js: 12.14.1
V8: 8.3.110.13-electron.0
OS: Darwin x64 19.6.0

Installed PIO stopped working after upgrade.
While attempting to reinstall, PIO does not downloads all required files and still not available. Downgrading to 2.1.0 solves this problem immediately.

Update: How to downgrade/select another version:

[jmpmscorp]

Same happens here. Downgraded to 2.1.0 and everything works again.

[Kortivex]

Same here. Reverted to v2.1.0 and everything works again.

VS Code Version 1.50.1 on Windows 10 2004

[SwedishChef]

Same here. Reverted to v2.1.0 and everything works again.

Could you please tell how to downgrade? THX

Also having issues with PIO 2.1.1, I'm getting this error in the the Dev Tools console from abstractExtensionService.ts:

Activating extension 'platformio.platformio-ide' failed: Cannot find module 'os-tmpdir'

@SwedishChef go to the Extensions window and click the gear on the PIO extension, then click Install Another Version

Also can confirm, same error message on Win7 64 bit, VSCode 1.50.1 .

[thegoodhen]

Same here. Reverted to v2.1.0 and everything works again.

Click on the "extensions" icon on the left vertical side menu of VSCode. On the Platformio item, click on the small gear icon and then on "Install another version."

Same issue here on macOS and Windows. PIO 2.1.1 is DOA with VS Code 1.50.1

[ivankravets]

Sorry for the issue. Soem idiot removed dependency to os-tmpdir and didn't increment the major version. As result, it affected other packages. Indeed, we don't use this package.

So, just added "permanently" and released PlatformIO IDE 2.1.2. Please update.
