Compile error, missing file CreateProcess

[XanCraft21]

Build tool used:

• [ X] Platformio (Visual Studio Code plugin)
• [ ] Platformio CLI
• [ ] Other

used Hardware:

• [ X] TWatch 2020 or TWatch 2021
• [ ] M5Paper
• [ ] M5Core2
• [ ] WT32-SC01

Description of problem:

I just got the t-watch today, and the firmware was bugged and would not boot, but when it did boot it crashed in a few seconds. I went to reflash the factory firmware using the platformio method, but it doesn’t want to upload. The error says “CreateProcess: No such file or directory”. I am using the most recent version of the software. I could not find any open issues about this topic for the most recent version, so i hope i’m not too late.

Additional information and things you've tried:

I tried the fix in the readme file on the front page of this repo, i tried changing the espressif version, still has the same bug.

If there is a fix or needs fixing, or which version of this repo i need to downgrade to, please let me know, and thank you for your help.

Hi XanCraft21 I was facing exactly the same issue. It seems to be a constraint due to PlateformIO on windows: file paths should not be too long ! I solved the issue with following actions:

• copy the working directoy to C:\
• modify environment name in plateformio.ini: change [env:t-watch2020-v1] to [env:twv1]
• modify default environment in plateformio.ini: change default_envs = t-watch2020-v1 to default_envs = twv1

I finally succeeded to compile the whole application with all apps Hope it will help !

Thx, this solved the problem for me to!

[XanCraft21]

Thank you, i will try that soon. Can you tell me how i can do the first step?

[C47hub]

Clone the git to c:\ttgo or something short like that and you should be good for the first step.

[XanCraft21]

Ok. I usually don’t work with cloned git codes. Will it still work if i just change the name of the existing file?

Hello XanCraft21 IF you don"t want to work with cloned codes, just download the zip file and extract the main folder ("My-TTGO-Watch-master") from it. After few tries, it seems useless to shorten this name.

[XanCraft21]

Ok, thank you, i will try this when i can.

Similar to #380

I just got around to trying this and it may or may not be working. It seemed that the problem i was having is not gone but i have a new problem. A missing function in the standard library for round.

In My-TTGO-Watch>pio>libdeps>(Name of the current watch you’re using)>IRremoteESP8266>scr>IRac.cpp.

The error is “round” is not a member of “std”. Is there a fix for that or could i just make my own round function? Thank you to anyone who can help me. If i manage to fix it i will add another comment if no-one has gotten back with me.

[XanCraft21]

I got it compiled an uploaded. I had to make my own round function.

The software is easy to brick, and it appears to be from setting up the wifi. After re-uploading it again it remains bricked until i make my own code.

As far as i can see this software is extremely buggy and glitchy. Is there anything else i could use? Should i make my own OS?

Hi XanCraft21,

I think you are not using the right gcc compiler version (I had the same problem when I tried to use the last compiler version) But as it is not related to the initial problem, I recommend to close this issue (if you think it is solved) and create a new one to discuss about round function problem

[XanCraft21]

Thank you. I am not sure which compiler version i am using, i just got the latest one i could find. After making my own round function it compiles and uploads fine now.

I will close this and make another one for the round. I will need to make a second one regarding how easy it is to brick the code and how bad the boot loops are. Thank you for helping with the compile problems.

This solved the problem for me as well. Thank you so much for this suggestion.
