Do you have GCC installed in your system? Give me please an output of gcc --version.

Does Terminal work if click on the icon (+) in the status bar (bottom) ?

[kandril]

It does.

[jasonc0]

See my new issue #246 - I entered a new issue because I am on windows and although the title of the error once stack trace is produced is similar, the issue is different.

[Enter steps to reproduce:]

1. Open platformio terminal - winpty.x64.dll assert failed dialog pops up. If I hit ignore I get the uncaught error: channel closed error.

Terminal input does not work, nor do any commands sent to the terminal through the API. So therefore platformio core update and other built in features do not work. I just get the assert failed VC++ error from winpty.x64.dll every time terminal opens up.

Thrown From: platformio-ide-terminal package 2.5.1

jasonc0 did you find a fix for your problem? I'm having the same problem on my windows 10 machine.

[mikivan1980]

I had the same problem on a Windows 10 machine!!!!
I'am update VS2017 add Visual C++ Redistributable for VS2015...

Try installing Redistributable for VS2015...

And changed the setting to:
atom -> settings -> shell override -> C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe

Last is important!!!!!!!!

[jasonc0]

I gave up, switched to Manjaro Linux.
