Okay, so I'm trying to code & upload to an Arduino with VS Code (Visual Studio Code). When I try to upload or verify my Arduino code, this error pops up:
If you cannot see that, it says:
[Starting] Verify sketch - ir_remote\ir_remote.ino [Warning] Output path is not specified. Unable to reuse previously compiled files. Verify could be slow. See README. Arduino: This application was configured to use a bundled Java Runtime Environment but the runtime is missing or corrupted. [Error] Exit with code=1
Help will be greatly appreciated. I started messing around with the Arduino a few weeks ago, and I've been using VS Code for a long time.
ALSO:
Code works completely fine on Arduino IDE, I want to be able to code and upload to an Arduino with VS Code.
I also tried posting this on the Arduino Forum, and no one replied.
I was able to solve the issue sharing here to help,
I installed Arduino from MS App Store, and i got exactly same error, i uninstalled the Arduino and downloaded installer from Arduino web site, i installed Arduino set the path by pointing to in VS Code settings > extensions > Arduino Configurations > Arduino Path, paste here path to installation folder. And it was all good.
Under project files .vscode folder be sure arduino.json has path set to
"output": "../ArduinoOutput",
Remember that you have to select Development board, Programmer and Serial Port as well in VS Code IDE.

I had the same problem and after following the very nice instructions of the author and what Jack said, I found this:
Add "output": "./build" (or wherever you want) to your ".vscode/arduino.json" file, just as Jack mentioned.
Delete ".vscode/c_cpp_properties.json" file. (If you don't do this, the intellisense won't work).
Build the project again (via verification or upload buttons).
Enjoy (And hope the bests for me in the case your problem is done following this routine!)

I am a student who has gotten a part time job embedded system programming. I am given a program the company uses, and asked to understand it. This is a working program. Therefore, the project can be built and flashed on ESP32 by the developers with no problem. So, the code and CMake files should have no issues. However, I cannot build the program either with VSCode extension nor with idf.py. In fact, I cannot build esp-idf examples from the official website, either.
Note: I am new to StackOverflow as well as to ESP32, so sorry if I made any mistakes here. If this post is problematic in any way, please inform me.
The error message from the terminal is shown here
I was initially using VSCode on Windows 10 (Windows is not activated). At first, ESP extension was completely failing to start the building process because it could not locate the tools. I was getting "could not be located" errors for all the tools. Below is a list of what I did in this setting:
I had v5.0.0 for esp-idf downloaded from Espressif server. I deleted it and tried v4.3.3 and then I tried to download from Github server. I downloaded the requirements for idf.py scripting environment and completed the settings for it as described by the Espressif's documentation.
I manually set the environment variables for IDF_PATH and PATH for both the user and for the system.
After 2, the initial error was gone. Unfortunately, I had a new error which indicated that ".elf" file for the project output could not be found. I do not exactly recall the error but if it is integral to the problem's solution I can try to replicate this issue.
I tried to delete and reinstall VSCode. I tried running VSCode with admin authority.
I tried changing the IDF_TOOLS_PATH in the VSCode esp-idf extension configurations from ".espressif" to "esp\esp-idf".
At this point, I moved to try to build the project on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS:
In Ubuntu, I got the fatal error: esp_event.h: No such file or directory error.
It does not seem to be a common issue and I could not find much about it online.
I followed the Linux setup steps in the documentation. It said that only step 1 (Downloading the prerequisites) was necessary for the VSCode extension.
I decided to try the "master branch" from esp-idf configurations as well. After I downloaded the master branch, the error changed to the current version: 'fatal error: esp_wifi.h: No such file or directory'
I also tried the idf.py in Ubuntu but I got the same error.
Both in Ubuntu and in Windows, the Doctor Command returns nothing. It does not even open the terminal or any window. I am not sure what it should return but some online discussions were asking about its return so I wanted to note it here.
Edit: When I tried the examples on Ubuntu, they actually build just fine. Doctor Command also works with examples.
However, the main code has still issues. Initially, I assumed I made some mistakes with esp-idf configurations. But, perhaps that was not the case.
I had the same problem and ended up editing my project's CMakeLists.txt. When I added "esp_wifi" to the "REQUIRES" list, it worked for me:
idf_component_register(
SRCS "main.c"
INCLUDE_DIRS res
EMBED_FILES res/settings.html
REQUIRES esp_wifi
)
I had a problem while deploying code into my STM32F4Nucleo boards using Eclipse and I wanted to share the solution for public benefit.
The problem is that the build process was working however when it comes to deploying the code into the microcontroller the system was stuck, further I was not able to debug the device. The step over and resume buttons were greyed out in the debug perspective.
Later I realized that it was due to the naming of the startup code of the MCU. For example in my case the name was,
startup_stm32f401xe.s
I forgot to capitalize the "s" in the extension of the file. When you rename it as,
startup_stm32f401xe.S
then recompile, both debugging and the code deployment issue was solved.
Just FYI,

Another way of doing so is modifying which file extensions are recognized as source files which then get compiled and linked. You can do so here on the workspace level:
or under project settings under C/C++ General -> File Types if you prefer to do so only for specific project(s).
I'm new to C++ and Allegro 5 but have been able to follow tutorials online and am able to build and compile several smaller projects successfully.
I cannot however get the demo project named Cosmic Protector to run and would like to at least learn what is wrong.
Unfortunately, I can't give you much to go on.
A window opens briefly and then closes, leaving the console open with the message..
process 6400 exited with code 255
If you have this demo running in VC 2017 with the latest release of Allegro 5 (5.2.4) installed via Nuget, I'd like to know that even.
The source for this program is available at...
https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5/tree/master/demos/cosmic_protector
Thank you, Jack
The allegro example programs and demos are usually built with CMake alongside the Allegro library. I just tested the CMake build of Allegro 5 with VS2017 on Windows 10 and it builds the Cosmic Protector demo successfully. You have to move the allegro dlls into the same directory as the exe, but other than that it runs perfectly.
As to why it's not working for you, cosmic protector depends on a data directory that holds it's resources. The working directory may be wrong, which would cause it to be unable to find resources. The data dir needs to be copied alongside the executable.
You can set the working directory to $(OutDir) under Debugging in Project->Properties and then it should find any data in the same directory as the exe.
How are you building cosmic protector?
Thanks to BugSquasher, I now have this working.
Here's how...
Start Visual Studio 2017
Create New Project of type Windows Console Application.
Name project CosmicProtector and save it in appropriate place on my HDD.
Disable precompiled headers and delete the any .h and .cpp
files associated with the new project regarding precompiled headers.
(for example pch.h)
Install Allegro 5.2.4 via Nuget.
In Visual Studio, navigate to Project Settings/Properties and ensure all
Allegro addons are enabled.
Copy the Cosmic Protector SRC and Header files and paste them into my
project directory.
Next in Visual Studio Project, Add the Source and Header files
respectively.
Rather stupidly, the step I had missed and that your reply brought my attention to was...
Copy the data directory and paste this into my project directory in the
applicable location.
Now build...
The project built right away, except for some errors reported in Game.cpp, GUI.cpp and Render.cpp
One error in Game.cpp, this being an instance of...
error C4996 'snprintf': This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using snprintf_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS.
To address this I have changed the instance of snprintf to sprintf_s.
Three errors in GUI.cpp, were instances of...
Error C4996 'strcpy': This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using strcpy_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS.
To address all of these I changed each instance of strcpy to strcpy_s.
And one error in GUI.cpp, this being an instance of...
error C4996 'snprintf': This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using snprintf_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS.
To address this I have changed the instance of snprintf to sprintf_s.
One error in Render.cpp, this being an instance of...
error C4996 'sprintf': This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using sprintf_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS.
To address this I have changed the instance of sprintf to sprintf_s.
Then build and it works:)
Thank you so much for your reply as I had moved on to other things but will find it very useful I think being able to build and run this demo.
It's only your reply that has brought me back to it and this time, I am successful:)
I'm following this:
http://docs.gstreamer.com/display/GstSDK/Installing+for+Android+development
I'm using the Windows x86 ADT bundle, the Windows x86 r9d NDK, and the Gstreamer SDK linked to in the guide.
I was able to get the first tutorial to add native support, build, and run. Then I tried the 3rd tutorial, and Eclipse becomes unresponsive. Same thing happened with the 2nd tutorial. I left it to do it over the weekend in case it just took a long time. When I change anything for another attempt I delete the tutorial folder completely and use a fresh copy from the zip file. I have also remove the ADT bundle completely and started over from scratch.
If I cancel, I have the expected build errors of missing import com.gstreamer.GStreamer;
The GSTREAMER_SDK_ROOT_ANDROID value is set to C:/gstreamer
The NDK Location is C:\android-ndk-r8d
I switched to using r8d as recommended in: Adding Gstreamer support to an android NDK project
One comment also suggests adding to the gstreamer.mk file:
ifndef SYSROOT
SYSROOT := $(NDK_PLATFORMS_ROOT)/$(TARGET_PLATFORM)/arch-$(TARGET_ARCH)
endif
I attempted this but there is a gstreamer_prebuilt.mk file it may be using instead.
My only clue is that Tutorial 1 does not use gstreamer plugins and the tutorials that do not work use plugins.
Thank you for any help you can give.
Edit: I tried using android-ndk-r7c also.
Then I deleted the ADT bundle and tried going the "Use an existing IDE" route, same result.
I'm going to try a different machine, and also see if I can compile it without eclipse, but I would love to hear any guess on what's going on.
Edit2: I watched a youtube video of someone setting this up (as far as I can tell he adds the NDK manually adding a build program and pointing to the ndk-build.cmd file):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKfAELFdf9A
This seemed to work but I was still missing import com.gstreamer.GStreamer; so I closed the tutorial 2 project, built and ran tutorial 1, opened tutorial 2 again, cleaned, built, and it ran.
Problem solved.

I have downloaded and started the community version of SFSx2. I read everything on their documentation page:
http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/DevelopmentBasics/introduction
Which unfortunately only talks about flash client side code. Nothing about the corresponding server side code, nor about html5 client side which I need.
I downloaded the HTML5 examples, which took me a long time to find (they are here: http://www.smartfoxserver.com/download/get/140 )
None of the examples work, as they can't connect to the server. Presumably, this is because the examples only supply client side code. There are no instructions supplied on how to install or run the examples.
I can find no mention on the smartfox documenation on the following:
1) what language is used on the server side. One assumes its java.
2) how does one deploy java code to the smartfox server? I cant find any mention of this in the docs.
3) how does one find and install the server part of the client side examples (which are Tris, GameLobby, BuddyMessenger, AdvancedChat).
I applied to be allowed to post on the smartfoxserver forums, but no reply yet.
I also found it hard so I share what I've found out.
The server extensions are written in Java. I used Eclipse JUNO to write my code.
You can download Eclipse here. http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
You export the extension in jar format from eclipse into you extension path. The name of your file has to end in 'extension' eg MyFirstExtension.jar otherwise sfs2x wont recognize it. Your extension path will be something like this: C:\Program Files\SmartFoxServer2X\SFS2X\extensions\MyFirstExtension\MyFirstExtension.jar if your working in windows.
You will find docs on JAVA API here. http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/api-docs/javadoc/server/
This is a link to the basic example code: http://www.smartfoxserver.com/download/get/120
Unzip the content into the [SFS2X_install_folder]/SFS2X/www/root/examples folder, overwriting the existing file. Run the index.html file, then navigate to another index.html to open the example. Run the sfs2x-standalone.exe first of course(see below). If you followed the 'server configuration tutorial' on smartfox website and changed the server ports, the examples wont work. Leave the ports alone until you start to understand the server.
This is a link to the flash example code: http://www.smartfoxserver.com/download/get/108
You will find the example code for apps mentioned above. They are written in Adobe Flash Builder and Java extensions. I don't know if there is any code for HTML5 but the Java server code and AS3 is there.
I also found that using the standalone server was the way to go rather than using SFS2x as a service. c:\program files\smartfoxserver2x\sfs2x\sfs2x-standalone.exe. Using the exe gives you the command prompt window. You can use the window for debugging and see the state of the server when it starts.
Most of the examples should work without creating extensions but to create an extension out of source examples:
Create and setup a new project in your Java IDE. You will have already set up a workspace.
Copy the content of the /source/server/src folder to your project's source folder.
Add SFS2X Libraries. Go to properties of the project -> Select Java Build Path -> Click Library Tab -> Add external jar. Add 'sfs2x.jar' and 'sfs2x-core.jar' from C:\Program Files\SmartFoxServer2X\SFS2X\lib folder. To create the extension, export jar file to extension path. Restart server.
Another problem I had was the Java Version I was using. I had to use Java1.6 with my version of sfs2x when writing extensions. This was trial and error as there was no documentation. There may be a newer version out now.
I had to copy all the server source into eclipse to try and understand how things were done. It was a way of having all the code in one place. There was a lot of trial and error as getting help is hard. I eventually accomplished what I set out to achieve. Good Luck.
SmartFox Server is easy to use even with extension. documentation Give try to Nuggeta solution for game development too. No extension needed at first. This is optionnal.
