Compiling

[fredhoyle]

Hi
I have installed the latest release on Windows 8.1 and 10.
Whenever I open Dev for the first time and click compile, it works fine. All subsequent attempts to do any spark-related tasks don't seem to work at all. e.g. clicking compile again has no effect. Clicking "select device" has no effect. etc.

No error messages are shown anywhere (at least not that I can see). If I close Dev and reopen it again, everything seems to work again. Once.

@fredhoyle could you try opening Developer Tools (View -> Developer -> Toggle Developer Tools) after restarting Dev and then try to compile? There could be some useful info there

I've opened Developer Tools but what should I be looking for after the first successful compile nothing seems to change

I can confirm I have the same issue - only way to recompile after the first try is to restart Dev. Running on Windows 7.

I am seeing the same issue as metsis, I have also noticed that I do not get a list of devices is I try to select device.

@brencerddwr do you have the same issue with latest particle-dev Atom package as well?

[brencerddwr]

I tried the release version of Atom and the Beta version and neither would install particle-dev. I received an error about utilities:less when I tried to install it.

I tried compiling with particle-cli and it gave an error about not being logged in. I logged it with cli and was able to compile with cli.

I then launched particle-dev, logged out, logged back in, and tried to compile in cloud, success. Then I flashed with cloud, worked fine.

It seems there was some sort of login status issue.
