Bash completion
 | 
						|
'''''''''''''''
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Bash completion support will complete subcommands and parameters. To enable
 | 
						|
Bash completion for `platformio` subcommands you need to put into your `.bashrc`:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: bash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    eval "$(_PLATFORMIO_COMPLETE=source platformio)"
 | 
						|
    eval "$(_PLATFORMIO_COMPLETE=source pio)"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
ZSH completion
 | 
						|
''''''''''''''
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To enable ``zsh`` completion please run these commands:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: bash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    autoload bashcompinit && bashcompinit
 | 
						|
    eval "$(_PLATFORMIO_COMPLETE=source platformio)"
 | 
						|
    eval "$(_PLATFORMIO_COMPLETE=source pio)"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. note::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    For permanent command completion you need to place commands above to
 | 
						|
    ``~/.bashrc`` or ``~/.zshrc`` file.

Program "platformio" not found in PATH
 | 
						|
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Where is ``platformio`` binary installed? Run this command in Terminal
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: bash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    # for Unix
 | 
						|
    which platformio
 | 
						|
    echo $PATH
 | 
						|
 Windows OS
 | 
						|
    where platformio
 | 
						|
    echo %PATH%
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For example, ``which platformio`` is equal to ``/usr/local/bin/platformio``,
 | 
						|
then `PATH (wiki) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PATH_(variable)>`_
 | 
						|
should contain ``/usr/local/bin`` directory.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Unix Users**: You can make "symlinks" from ``platformio`` program to the
 | 
						|
``bin`` directory which is included in ``$PATH``. For example,
 | 
						|
see `issue #272 <https://github.com/platformio/platformio/issues/272#issuecomment-133626112>`_.

Please upgrade *SetupTools* package:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: bash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    [sudo] pip uninstall setuptools
 | 
						|
    [sudo] pip install setuptools
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    # Then re-install PlatformIO
 | 
						|
    [sudo] pip uninstall platformio
 | 
						|
    [sudo] pip install platformio
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

PlatformIO blocks command execution using user prompt
 | 
						|
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you are going to run *PlatformIO* from **subprocess**, you **MUST
 | 
						|
DISABLE** all prompts. It will allow you to avoid blocking.
 | 
						|
There are a few options:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- using :option:`platformio --force` option before each command
 | 
						|
- using environment variable :envvar:`PLATFORMIO_SETTING_ENABLE_PROMPTS=No <PLATFORMIO_SETTING_ENABLE_PROMPTS>`
 | 
						|
- disable global setting ``enable_prompts`` via :ref:`cmd_settings` command
 | 
						|
- masking under Continuous Integration system via environment variable
 | 
						|
  :envvar:`CI=true <CI>`.
