- Fri Jan 22, 2016 11:33 am #39432 More testing information ...

I went back to an older version of the OS (1.47) and can now go to the edit tab and OPEN the code without any problem so somewhere between 1.47 and the current version of OS there is a problem with the OPEN functionality.

I have several other versions of the OS so I will try and see where it started.

ver 1.60 seems to work properly
ver 1.68 seems to NOT work properly. It is hit/miss whether the OPEN button will successfully return the default code to the IDE window.

if I go back to ver 1.60 then the OPEN seems to work every time.

are others experiencing the same issues??

- Sat Jan 23, 2016 7:22 am #39484 I'm seeing rather strange behaviour in the editor when saving the 'default' program.

After pressing the Save button, the browser updates to say "Saved" but on putty, the debug info shows ...

"Done...
default/1
file open failed"

The text in the editbox beside the Open button is definitely 'default' (without the quotes).

Tried resetting the module a few times. Issue persists.

Kinda stuck now as I can no longer save (or load) the 'default' program.

Any ideas most welcome.

luc VdV,

Sheesh, I can't believe I missed that!
Your right without any feedback from the IDE we have to be more careful in looking for simple typos, etc.

I am so used to working with my other favorite BASIC which is PICBASIC by melabs.com (very high quality and very fast tight code for the Microchip PIC's) where the IDE does give all sorts of feedback.

I understand, though, that this espbasic needs to be small and light for the little -01 (512K) modules.
I'll just have to pay better attention to detail.

Thanks for helping me out!

@dwight --- the ESP8266 BASIC has nothing to do with the error in your code. You simply made a typo. The ESP8266 BASIC is case sensitive.

What esp board do you have?
