Same issue. Can upload and verify, but cannot change serial port/nor see serial port menus. Additionally cannot access serial monitor as a result of this.

Same Problem here. VS Code 1.49.0 , Arduino extension 0.3.2.
cannot choose serial port from bottom-bar, cannot verify sketch, cannot upload sketch, cannot open serial monitor.
everything sucks.

Update:
verify and upload problems was prior to not setting correct port in arduino.json, but the others are consistent.

Ghakamo · 2020-09-17T09:33:14Z

Having same issue, notable after a vscode update and C/C++ extension update. Uploads to device fine, only change was the update

ciscojmg · 2020-09-17T15:05:03Z

Tengo el mismo problema con el VSCode, puedo verificar los programas, puede subirlo, pero los puertos COM no los reconoces de forma automatica y tampoco puedo debugguear los programa.

ciscojmg · 2020-09-17T15:05:13Z

jgusr · 2020-09-17T18:48:01Z

Tengo el mismo problema en Ubuntu

johanm57 · 2020-09-17T19:49:44Z

Tengo el mismo problema: No puedo configurar de forma automática el puerto COM y tampoco puedo usar el debug.. Si me funciona la compilación.

ciscojmg · 2020-09-18T15:24:30Z

El problema se corrigio descargando la version VScode

Roberto6969 · 2020-09-21T19:07:21Z

C'mon guys ... Who will solve this banal error? Don't release new version with so banal error. Visual studio code and Arduino extension is totally unusable with such an error. I understand, bugs could happen, but not such a stupid one. Does Micorsoft has fingers in this errror?

iqapps · 2020-09-22T07:09:15Z

Me too.

Downgrading Arduino extension alone to previous version dont work anymore....

Downgrading to VS Code 1.48.2 and Arduino extension to 0.30 restores expected function.

We are stuck on old versions here.

fidelbrea · 2020-10-01T00:54:52Z

Downgrade. This is a solution. I fixed it by downgrading up to 1.48.2.
I hope you find this useful to fix your own situations.

mattkemp · 2020-10-12T00:02:21Z

+1 @iqapps
Working now.
Downgraded to Visual Code 1.48.2 and Arduino extension 0.3.0
Have also turned off automatic updates on Visual Code, just not good enough to break stuff like this with updates.

iqapps · 2020-10-12T07:47:12Z

This is still a very serious problem for me.

Some of us developers are stuck on old code here.

What is keeping this issue from being solved ?

MaxBoyman · 2020-10-12T08:58:16Z

This issue is being alive for over than a month and no body's gonna send us at least a report from what's going on. Is there anybody in microsoft to fix this? or arduino extension from microsoft is like other microsoft garage projects?

trullock · 2020-10-19T14:42:01Z

I've caused this by updating my version of Node.

But I now cant revert this by downgrading Node....

simonl65 · 2020-10-19T15:11:23Z

@trullock: do you mean that you are the cause of this issue(!), or you now have the issue?

If the latter then you'll need to downgrade to VSCode 1.48.2 (and maybe also Arduino extension 0.3.0)

trullock · 2020-10-19T15:13:29Z

I mean I caused it to myself :D

Or at least I think thats whats caused it. Guess I'll downgrade if thats a known workaround.

initially I updated node and got an issue with NODE_MODULE_VERSION 75 vs 80, then I deleted the arduino extension and reinstalled it and now I'm getting this error. Maybe it updated from 3.0 but I don't think so...

Update

VSC 1.48.2 with VSC-Arduino 0.32 on nvm node 12.19.0 (32bit): works

VSC 1.49.3 with VSC-Arduino 0.32 on nvm node 12.19.0 (32bit): detection.node' was compiled against a different Node.js version using NODE_MODULE_VERSION 75. This version of Node.js requires NODE_MODULE_VERSION 80

VSC 1.50.1 with VSC-Arduino 0.32 on nvm node 12.19.0 (32bit): detection.node is not a valid Win32 application

Ive also tried various combinations of Node versions (both 64 and 32 bit) and couldnt change the above, but I wasnt exhaustive

Seefer · 2020-10-20T11:14:18Z

Just got an MXChip and trying to follow the IoT DevKit Getting Started tutorial on Docs site and having issues with this silly COM port bug mentioned here. This is an abysmal user experience for beginners. I've decided to try PlatformIO and the tutorials there as many tell me that extension has far less pain-points getting in the way of learning this shizzle. Not sure yet whether Azure integration will be an issue though. Any updates to VS Code or Arduino extension should probably include a human doing a test run through the Microsoft Docs that use these tools and if you fail to successfully complete the tutorial, you don't get to release the update :)

kseyhan · 2020-10-22T06:53:37Z

check the solution proposed here #1113 (comment) if have a proper build environment on your machine.

WenukaB · 2020-11-01T12:18:31Z

This can probably be due to an issue with Arduino Installation. I had the same issue. I uninstalled the Arduino existing installation and installed the latest version (1.8.13) it fixed the issue.

simonl65 · 2020-11-01T14:35:05Z

Arduino extension 0.3.3 fixes this issue

MaxBoyman · 2020-11-02T07:41:46Z

problem still there even after updating to 0.3.3

mattkemp · 2020-11-02T08:29:43Z

Arduino extension 0.3.3 and Visual Code 1.50.1 is working for me.

adiazulay · 2020-11-17T23:13:35Z

fixed in 0.3.3

kaptcha0 · 2021-02-16T15:52:35Z

Not fixed for me. I still have the bug. Downgrading to 0.3.3 didn't help.

MaxBoyman · 2021-02-16T16:04:55Z

me too....
nothing helped. downgrading, reinstalling, reinstalling the os, and also vscode itself, nothing.

adiazulay · 2021-02-16T17:36:19Z
