Upload Error: exit status 2 | ESP32 (2024 again)

Thank you very much! This information is very helpful.

I also found a workaround for this issue. You can upload the sketch directly from a terminal (such as CMD on Windows). Here's how:

  • Copy the command shown in the error message into a terminal window.
  • Correct the filenames in the command (make sure to include the ".ino" extension).
  • Hit Enter, and the sketch will be uploaded directly using esptool.

Although this method is less convenient than uploading from the editor, it works reliably and is a good alternative.
