Cannot set Arduino IDE Location

[jockm]

On OSX Yosemite, installed Brackets, then Cuwire plugin. Have Arduino 1.5.8 installed at /Applications/Arduino.

Every time I set the Arduino IDE location, I get the following message:

Runtime issue:
No runtimes found! Please install Arduino 1.5.x then relaunch Brackets

I have tried entering:

• /Applications/Arduino
• /Applications/Arduino/
• /Applications/Arduino.app
• /Applications/Arduino.app/

And all produce the same error.

Just added button to select Arduino IDE. Will release update within next days.

To fix it now, please open Terminal.app and launch command to find all Arduino IDE locations.

find /Applications -name Arduino*app

Try to insert appropriate location in preferences pane. Please reply does this help or not.

Thank you!

I determined the location of the Arduino install I wanted to use by opening the terminal and typing /Applications/Ard

and then using tab expansion to complete the name. I then copy and pasted that into the text box. So essentially the same thing as the list I provided before — none of which worked.

But just in case I used find, and copy and pasted /Applications//Arduino.app into the text box, and had the exact same result as before. As a final "just in case" measure I rebooted my computer and tried again, with the same results.

The only thing I think I failed to mention is that I have multiple Arduino installs, different versions, customized versions, etc; but I fail to see how this could be an issue since Cuwire needs the exact location of the version I want to use.

Ok, that's definitely cuwire error. Do you have node.js installed? Brackets plugin shares code with command line utility cuwire written on node.js and it is much easier to detect error using that utility. I will create debug branch and send you instructions how to install it when it's ready.

[jockm]

I do have node.js installed and I installed the curwire npm as well. As soon as you have something for me, I am at your disposal to test it.

[apla]

Try to install latest commit from git repo, globally (with -g) or locally — as you wish

npm -g install apla/cuwire

then run (if installed globally):

cuwire --debug boards

if installed locally:

NODE_PATH=node_modules:$NODE_PATH node cli.js --debug boards

[apla]

please use -a <Arduino IDE.app> to define which Arduino IDE installation to use

[jockm]

First a possibly important point. I could not run the command

npm -g install apla/cuwire

Until I upgraded my version of node to the latest. So apparently I was out of date. I don't know if this is a factor, but it seemed important to call it out.

Once did upgrade node, here is the result of --debug boards

I hope this helps

cuwire cli is working fine… I just uploaded debug plugin version to check what's going on

Please uninstall old version, download test release, then install via Extension Manager, button "drag .zip here or install via url" at panel footer.

https://github.com/apla/brackets-cuwire/releases/tag/v%2F0.5.3-test1

[jockm]

I uninstalled Cuwire from Brackets, and then installed 0.5.3-test1 as you described... and Cuwire seems to be working as described. At least I was able to open a .ino file, and most of the dropdowns populated correctly — with the exception of Programmers which is empty.

I will try downloading a sketch to see if that works shortly.

Is there any other tests I can perform, or information I can provide?

[apla]

Great if it works now. Still have no clue what's happens…

Can you copy log? Menu Debug > Developer Tools, then Console tab.

Thank you!
