Arduino / esp8266 – multiple nested copies of output directory

[adamtwatson]

I am happy with build process of the the esp8266

I am working with VisualGDB-5.4-preview10.msi on visual studio community edition 2017

build process is producing multiple copies of the output directory in output directory  – along with the files – this is getting big very quickly!

like so:

Output\Generic_ESP8266_Module\Debug\sketch\Output\Generic_ESP8266_Module\Debug\sketch\Output\Generic_ESP8266_Module\Debug\sketch

I have to keep stopping work to manually delete the contents of the output folder.

Hi,

We have tried reproducing it on a clean project for the Generic ESP8266 Module, however could not get the behavior you are describing.

Please check if you can reproduce it on a project created from scratch and that you do not change the sketch folder in the .vgdbcmake file. If it doesn’t help, please share the build command line shown in the Output window after the “Launching Arduino builder” text.
