Additional info

Does workspace_dir instead of build_dir work for you?

[bigwave]

Still the same error, I'm afraid, with workspace_dir = ${sysenv.TEMP}/pio-workspaces/$PROJECT_HASH/build

[ivankravets]

Hm... I use a similar configuration every day. Instead of patching every platformio.ini, I set a system environment variable PLATFORMIO_WORKSPACE_DIR to /tmp/pio-workspaces/$PROJECT_HASH.

[bigwave]

Set the user environment variable

C:\Users\ian>echo %PLATFORMIO_WORKSPACE_DIR%
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP/pio-workspaces/$PROJECT_HASH/build

But still get exactly the same error at the same location.

Thanks for the report. Please re-test with pio upgrade --dev.
