Describe the problem

I am using the 2.0rc6 version of the IDE. I had opened and closed several of the example sketchs and had even modified a couple. They always opened just as I had last used them when starting the IDE program. Now, I created a file from scratch, a small one, and had opened and closed the editor several times. Once, when I opened the editor, there was a different sketch loaded and my new sketch was gone. I have looked in the arduino directory and done a search on a couple of unique words the sketch contained. Nothing was found. The sketch was just gone

To reproduce

I cannot reproduce the incident. Neither can I find the sketch file.

Expected behavior

I expected to see the sketch I created when I reopened the editor.

Arduino IDE version

2.0rc6

Operating system

Windows

Operating system version

11

Additional context

I may have missed a message that told me to save my sketch before closing the editor. I have not seen one, however. Also, I do have an extensive background in electronics and programming, I am, however, new to arduino IDE.

Issue checklist

  • I searched for previous reports in the issue tracker
  • I verified the problem still occurs when using the latest nightly build
  • My report contains all necessary details

Hi @glistok. Thanks for your report.

I may have missed a message that told me to save my sketch before closing the editor. I have not seen one, however.

There was a bug that caused there to be no message: #595, #862

I'm happy to tell you that the bug was fixed a couple of hours ago: #893

If you would like to try out the latest version of the Arduino IDE with the fix, the tester builds are available for download here:

https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/actions/runs/2420412792#artifacts

The fix will also be in the nightly build tomorrow (today's nightly build is from before the fix was made), which is available from these links:

https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide#nightly-builds

Please let us know what your results are if you give it a try.

As for your lost sketch, you can search the temporary directory on your computer. Unsaved sketches are staged in folders that look something like this:

C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Temp\.arduinoIDE-unsaved202251-6272-1v0qrmq.gp08\sketch_jun1a

ⓘ If looking for it with your file browser or command line, note that the C:\Users\<user name>\AppData folder is hidden by default. On Windows "File Explorer", you can make it visible by opening the "View" menu, then checking the box next to "☐ Hidden items".
