Arduino Lab opened only once

[elide-b]

Hi!

Thanks for the software :) I'm on WIndows and I succesfully opened Arduino Labs exactly once. I wasn't paying much attention and dismissed some dialogs when I think it was asking me where to select files from? Then I closed the application. Now whenever I try to open the exe nothing happens. I don't even see it appear in the Task Manager, and when invoking the file from PowerShell with & "./Path To/My/Arduino Lab.exe" the command finishes immediately and nothing happens.

Hi @elide-b ! Thank you for reaching out. Which version are you using? There was a bug that caused the app to crash when the home folder that was set upon initial launch did no longer exist in the file system. However, launching it from the shell would usually print the stack trace. Can you try running it with Arduino Lab.exe | echo and see if you get any output?

Nothing, using PowerShell:

PS C:\Users\Elide\Documents\arduinolab> & '.\Arduino Lab for MicroPython.exe' | echo

Could you tell me where it stores this data, maybe if I remove it I can launch Arduino Lab and do the introduction again.

@elide-b
the preferences for the editor are stored in your user folder

C:\Users\your_user\AppData\Roaming\

• quit the editor
• delete the folder Arduino Lab for MicroPython
• launch the editor

you will be prompted to choose the local folder again

keep us posted :)
