/Users/christiaan/.vscode/extensions/vsciot-vscode.vscode-arduino-0.6.230420001-darwin-arm64/assets/platform/darwin-arm64/arduino-cli/arduino-cli.app upload /home/user/Arduino/MySketch

Flags:
--board-options strings List of board options separated by commas. Or can be used multiple times for multiple options.
--discovery-timeout duration Max time to wait for port discovery, e.g.: 30s, 1m (default 1s)
-b, --fqbn string Fully Qualified Board Name, e.g.: arduino:avr:uno
-h, --help help for upload
--input-dir string Directory containing binaries to upload.
-i, --input-file string Binary file to upload.
-p, --port string Upload port address, e.g.: COM3 or /dev/ttyACM2
-m, --profile string Sketch profile to use
-P, --programmer string Programmer to use, e.g: atmel_ice
-l, --protocol string Upload port protocol, e.g: serial

[emabrey]

This is being caused here:

vscode-arduino/src/arduino/arduino.ts

Line 718 in 9544a5f

args.push("--build-path", buildDir);

I get similar behavior if I specify a buildPreferences key in arduino.json (see emabrey/protogen@c007452).

This bug seems to be related to passing invalid arguments to the arduino-cli tool. The arduino-cli upload command doesn't support an option by the name of --build-path (though it does support an option called --input-dir to specify the directory containing the uploadable binary files).

@emabrey have you got a work around, or come up with a way of getting this to work? is it only an issue on Mac, or is it the same issue on Windows and Linux?

[rrainey]

@philipmcgaw-cpi it's an issue on Windows 11, too.

[Joshuabaker2]

There's definitely an issue with the code, but I was able to work around it by using the command Arduino: Upload as opposed to Arduino CLI: Upload.
