Vscode-arduino: Verification always gives an [Error] Exit with code=undefined

[maciej-tokarz]

Hello!

Verification gives an error:

[Starting] Verify sketch - projects/001.ino
[Error] Exit with code=undefined

The code is a blink template.

arduino.json

{
    "port": "COM6",
    "board": "arduino:samd:mzero_pro_bl_dbg",
    "sketch": "projects\\001.ino",
    "output": "build"
}

    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Win32",
            "includePath": [
                "C:\\Users\\maciej.tokarz\\AppData\\Local\\Arduino15\\packages\\arduino\\hardware\\samd\\1.6.16\\cores\\arduino"

                ]
            },
            "intelliSenseMode": "msvc-x64"
        }
    ],
    "version": 3

Settings

"arduino.path": "C:/Program Files (x86)/Arduino",
"arduino.logLevel": "verbose"

The most interesting thing is that despite the Verify error, Upload works.

The solution was to reset Windows to factory settings.

Hi,

I encounter the same problem, and could not resolve it.
I am using Win 8. How did you actually reset Windows to factory settings?
Thank you for sharing.

First time trying this out and I received the same error (on Mac). For me the reason was I copied the settings from the instructions. I commented out all but _"arduino.enableUSBDetection": true_ and everything is working now. I now see that you are only supposed to use these settings if you want to override the defaults - which for me the defaults work fine.

I get this error on Win10 for both verify and upload.

@RJPalombo Exactly the same in the case of Ubuntu 16.04, I've added in User Settings:
"arduino.enableUSBDetection": false and this resolves error. On OSX, I haven't noticed any troubles.

Just installed Arduino extension and can confirm that I have the same problem.

On OSX, I get the same error.

I was trying on Windows 10 and was getting the same error when using the Arduino IDE downloaded from the Windows 10 app store. But when I downloaded the Arduino IDE directly from https://www.arduino.cc/ and uninstalled the Win10 app store version, it worked.

Hi,

I had the same problem in my Mac, but now it's working properly. I changed a bit the _settings.json_ file:

{
    "arduino.path": "/Applications",
    "arduino.commandPath": "Contents/MacOS/Arduino",
    "arduino.additionalUrls": "",
    "arduino.logLevel": "info"
}

Seems to be a documentation issue on the ardiuno path. Also, documentation should reflect that the path can be set in settings.jaon and the project vscode.
