Describe the bug
In certain situations (on Windows) the application does not start, but shows the spinner animation on startup.

To Reproduce
No precise steps to reproduce the problem could be determined, but it seems that unusual characters in the user sketches directory can cause this.

Expected behavior
At the least, a meaningful error message should be shown to the user.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows
  • Version 10

Additional context
It is likely that this fs-extra bug is causing the backend to hang while creating a sketch: jprichardson/node-fs-extra#524

Solved.

Note: This problem was caused by Windows Controlled Folders. With the fix included in v0.0.4, the application should no longer hang in the startup phase, but it still won't work as expected because it needs to be whitelisted before it can create anything in $HOME\Documents\Arduino.
