Hi @snspinn. PyMakr relies on https://github.com/serialport/node-serialport to access your USB ports. To do this, node-serialport
needs to run a binary file built specifically for your system. While it includes precompiled binaries for most systems, there are exceptions, such as ARM architecture. For these exceptions, PyMakr will try build them on your system instead. This is what Visual Studio is required for.
Seeing as you're using Windows 10, your system should be supported and I suspect the upcoming patch should fix your issue. In the meantime you can clone this PR https://github.com/pycom/pymakr-atom/pull/269 to see if it works for you.
I know this is similar to previously raised issues, but the log output is different to all other issues so far, which all reference a Python issue. Perhaps the root cause is the same, however. My apologies for clogging up the forum with duplicates, if I am.
Installation details
What happens?
Errors out looking for a recent Visual Studio installation.
What were you expecting to happen?
Not needing to install Visual Studio to run an add on to a working application.
Any logs, error output, etc?
Any other comments?
I know this is probably considered solved due to #256 . I respectively disagree, however: Why would I need to install an third party IDE/code editor just to run an addon to a different, perfectly functioning code editor?
Seems like it would be easier to move over the VS Code, than implement the solution in #256 .
What versions of software are you using?
Operating system: System Windows_NT 10.0.19042 (Windows 10)
Atom version: 1.58.0
Pymakr version: 2.2.0
