Can't see my installed libraries
Apr 6th, 2016 at 4:19pm
Print Post  
I'm new to VM for VS2015. I have about 10 custom libraries installed. They are in the default folder for Arduino (C:\Users\username\Documents\Arduino\libraries).

I do not see them when I try to add them to a project, I only see the Arduino IDE libraries. (built-in libraries)

If I click Add Library-> User, I get a blank dropdown.

This usually means that you entered the optional sketchbook location into the Ide locations window.

The SketchBook is usually C:\Users\username\Documents\Arduino. If you leave it empty then this default is used.

Custom libraries are always located off the sketchbook hence the issue.

Does this make sense?

NO, because I just added the file path to see if that worked, it was empty before. I figured out how to open the library manager and tried to install a library. I'm getting this error.

Unable to install the new library. Invalid source path:

Great maybe a space was in the sketchbook setting can't think of anything else that would affect that.

I expect the install issue failed because of the . in the temp path name but haven't heard a report about that before, but I will test thanks.

Anyway as you see we have the same config as the arduino ide so it should be easy to work round that one.

Thanks for the update
