platformio-vscode-ide: The system cannot find the path specified when build task is run

Since I have updated platformio extension, when build/upload I’m getting this error. Here’s link to my repo - Pubnub-Led

Terminal Output

Fixed it by deleting AutoRun key from registry and also remove invalid paths from environment variables. https://www.tenforums.com/general-support/122582-cmd-terminal-starts-system-cannot-find-path-specified.html

Se corrigió eliminando la clave AutoRun del registro y también elimina las rutas no válidas de las variables de entorno. https://www.tenforums.com/general-support/122582-cmd-terminal-starts-system-cannot-find-path-specified.html

This solves the problem, it seems that it is generated by anancoda, I saw that anancoda and platformio do not get along, thanks!

I had a previous installation of anaconda that prevented installing platformio, I uninstalled it but nevertheless I could not compile since it has a hook in the console of commands that are executed when compiling platformio

They override the system environment PATH and remove other PATHs that were installed in the session. You can remove this conda startup script and just add it to your system path manually.

Wow! I’m really shocked. What is inside of this conda_hook.bat? 🐛 ? 🐞 ? 👎

Please uninstall conda from a system and use the latest official Python 3. See instructions here https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/faq.html#install-python-interpreter
