Bug? Cannot select arduino.exe

After installing B4R, it is required to set the path to arduino.exe. In the dialog window, a filter is set so only this file can be selected.

Unfortunately, in the version 2.0.3, the arduino file is called Arduino IDE.exe, which means it cannot be selected.

Two possibilites: Rename the arduino file (not my preferred selection) or remove the filter in B4R.

I hope Erel will remove the filter. ?

Sorry Erel but you have missed the point. The Arduino software has been re-written, has many new features and is faster. Of course it is possible to use 1.8.15, as I do at present when using B4R.

I simply meant, B4X continues to be updated to cope with changes in Google, SDK's etc. SO the filter is outdated. It either needs to be removed or a second filter "*.*" added.

No offence but we don't always have to agree with you, even if you are mostly right!

Why don't you just rename the file?

No offence taken and I completely agree.

What I meant is that for now B4R is compatible with the specific version listed on the downloads page. I don't know whether the different name is the only breaking change. This is something that needs to be checked thoroughly.

Indeed the different name is not the only breaking change. I tried to change the name and it did not work. I am sorry @Mark Read for what I proposed.
There is an arduino-cli.exe that can handle everything in the new IDE from the command line:

Arduino CLI

Arduino Command Line Interface
arduino.github.io

When ever suits you give it a look (no need to rush - the current configuration with the latest 1.8 version is ok).

Here are some examples using the arduino-cli (I post it also for my reference here since link by link I got in this URL):


In order to list fqbn of all boards:

My board is a non genuine arduino NANO. It does't come up on arduino-cli board list I have learnt that this is because of: pert "This is expected and normal for any board that uses a general purpose USB to serial adapter chip (e.g., FTDI FT232, CH340). The reason is that these chips use a...

And at last this with a lot of options on how to use it:

For the time being, forget using Arduino IDE v2.x with B4R. It has a completely different architecture than Arduino IDE v1.x.x. I tried it a long time ago, when it first came out. It did not work. It cannot work. And that's what Erel is saying in other words. Stick to v1.x.x.
