Ping Timeout error while compiling

[ve3sjk]

Describe the problem

I am seeing random "ping timeout" errors while compiling with the latest update.

Not really sure what it could be pinging i do not have any internet related functions, all the files are local.

To reproduce

Issue Verify or Upload command

Expected behavior

Compile to complete or error message

Arduino IDE version

2.2.1

Operating system

Windows

Operating system version

10

Additional context

I have also seen random issues with the com port not being recognized, when it does this the "board" section in the menu is missing.

There are also times when the compile never completes as well and it requires a shutdown and restart. The arrow remains greyed out, but the compile complete message never happens.

Hi @ve3sjk @StevenAMC @scottbob09. Thanks for your report.

There is nowhere near enough information here for us to initiate an investigation.

Please provide detailed instructions I can follow to reproduce the problem.

These should include the following information:

• Which board do you have selected in Arduino IDE?
• Where exactly are you seeing the "ping timeout" errors?

---

Please refrain from replying unless you have significant and unique information to add. If you only want to express your support for the PR or a comment in the thread, use the "Reactions" feature to add a "👍", etc. "Me too" comments are not allowed here.

Everyone who watches the repository receives a notification whenever any reply is made on any of the issues and PRs. It is important for the developers and maintainers of the project to watch the repository to make sure we see the valuable feedback from the contributors. But if the repository becomes the source of a large number of low value notifications we must either waste our time sorting through them instead of doing productive work, or else unwatch the repository.

If a thread here become the source of low quality noise, it will be locked. That might prevent others from adding actually valuable information, and thus hamper the resolution. So pointless comments harm the users in addition to the project maintainers.

Unstructured conversations about Arduino-related subjects are always welcome over on Arduino Forum.

Same problem here when compiling on slow computers or large projects, IDE tells it's in offline mode and build process is interrupted.

In addition please find debug info from IDE in reply to ptillisch on arduino forum

IDE hangs while compiling, "ping timeout" popup can be dismissed but there's no way to even close the IDE.
After some time debug data appears but Powershell buffer, even with 9999 lines don't allow to store every output so I had to redirect log to files.

My CPU also running as hell... =/

[ednieuw]

Same problem with esp32 boards like ESP32C3, ESP32S3 and ESP32 RRGO T-watch.

In the folder c:\Users\ednie\AppData\Local\Temp\ one can find the temporary sketch precompile data
When comparing it with a sketch from the IDE1.8.19 I see a part of the files the IDE2.2.1 stores are stored in another folder named: c:\Users\ednie\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino\sketches\

The "ping timeout" occurs when the line:

Using library EEPROM at version 2.0.0 in folder: :\Users\ednie\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\hardware\esp32\2.0.14\libraries\EEPROM 

is written.

in the Arduino 1.8.19 the last lines are:

Using library EEPROM at version 2.0.0 in folder: C:\Users\ednie\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\hardware\esp32\2.0.14\libraries\EEPROM 
"C:\\Users\\ednie\\AppData\\Local\\Arduino15\\packages\\esp32\\tools\\xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc\\esp-2021r2-patch5-8.4.0/bin/xtensa-esp32-elf-size" -A "C:\\Users\\ednie\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\arduino_build_955993/TTGO-wordClock-V001.ino.elf"
Sketch uses 438129 bytes (6%) of program storage space. Maximum is 6553600 bytes.
Global variables use 24296 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 4497688 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 4521984 bytes.

It look like that xtensa-esp32-elf-size.exe is not executed properly.
Maybe part on the necessary files are stored in the wrong folder?

Before the ping out problem I had the compiler error comment: before after compiling : "connection got disposed"
See #1587
