Error Activating Extension #17

Closed dettmerc closed 4 months ago

Arduino IDE 2.3.3-nightly-20230229

After creating the plugins folder and moving the folder into it, I receive the following error:

Activating extension 'ESP Exception Decoder' failed: Cannot find module '/Users/dettmerc/.arduinoIDE/plugins/esp-exception-decoder-main/dist/extension.js' Require stack: - /Applications/Arduino IDE.app/Contents/Resources/app/lib/backend/plugin-host.js

Thanks for reporting it. What's inside your plugins folder? Please open a Terminal, execute the following, and paste the output here:

ls -al ~/.arduinoIDE/plugins

Thanks for the update. I do not think this is a problem with the decoder extension itself but how you have copied it into the plugins folder.

This is how your plugins folder should look like. It contains only the extensions (*.vsix):

akos.kitta@prprpr ~ % ls -al ~/.arduinoIDE/plugins
total 6064
drwxr-xr-x   6 akos.kitta  staff      192 Dec 11 18:10 .

If you want to fix it, delete the esp-exception-decoder-main folder from a terminal:

⚠️ The command will delete the esp-exception-decoder-main folder with all its content from your drive without asking you! Make a backup copy if you have anything valuable inside this folder.

rm -rf ~/.arduinoIDE/plugins/esp-exception-decoder-main

Please re-download the VSIX from the release page and put it inside the plugins folder. The steps are in the readme: https://github.com/dankeboy36/esp-exception-decoder?tab=readme-ov-file#installation

I am closing this issue, but I am here if you need more help. You can also use the official Arduino IDE forum for support: https://forum.arduino.cc/c/software/ide-2-x/93.
