Upload command sometimes fails because of an unknown flag

[soul-codes]

Platform: Ubuntu 20.10.
Arduino version: CLI 0.13.0.

Using the Arduino CLI: Upload command sometimes results in the following error in the console:

Error: unknown flag: --build-path
Usage:
  arduino-cli upload [flags]

This seems to happen after the first succesful upload. I have output configured in arduino.json.

I just got same issue, with arduino-cli v0.20.2 and arduino extension v0.4.10

"CLI:Upload" command works after replacing --build-path by --input-dir at line 615 of .vscode/extensions/vsciot-vscode.vscode-arduino-0.4.10/out/src/arduino/arduino.js but then the "Upload" button fails.
It's because first one calls arduino-cli upload command which accept input-dir option, but second uses arduino-cli compile --upload which accepts build-path options ...

Thus i added a inner if (buildMode !== BuildMode.CliUpload) at line 614 and it works, but I don't know what happens when an other programmer is used (BuildMode.CliUploadProgrammer case)

This worked for me too.. Please change that on next release.

Still present with Visual Studio Code extension for Arduino v0.4.12 with:

• Arduino IDE v2.0.1
• arduino-cli v0.28.0

I'll see if I can do a PR, but for now, at line 631 of 0.4.12

                if (this.useArduinoCli()) {
                    if (buildMode !== BuildMode.CliUpload) {
                        args.push("--build-path", buildDir);
                    } else {
                        args.push("--input-dir", buildDir)
                    }
                }

This DOES upload correctly, but doesn't rebuild. I don't know if that is as expected or a bug introduced by this change...

I'm getting the error too - late 2023.

[Tynopia]

I'm getting this issue too

[Octahedron-Alum]

same here.

[willlogs]

Can't believe this bug is still present! Just change the flag

[voelkerb]

bump

[willlogs]

Clean up arduino cli installation and use something other than stupid snapd to install it. That fixed it for me

I just ran into this when trying to use CTRL-SHIFT-P -> Arduino CLI: Upload Using Programmer

Try using CTRL-SHIFT-P -> Arduino: Upload Using Programmer (i.e. Don't use the Arduino CLI)
