SimulIDE not uploading compiled sketch to virtual arduino (everything done inside SimulIDE)

Hi guys!

I can't make SimulIDE upload a sketch in Linux. I've tried almost everything. I don't know what else to do. In Windows it worked right away.

Steps to reproduce (I'm using Ubuntu 22.04):

- Download arduino-1.8.19-linux64.tar.xz
- Extract using: tar -xaf arduino-1.8.19-linux64.tar.xz

-Download SimulIDE_0.4.15-SR10.AppImage (or the SimulIDE_1.0.0-RC3_Lin64 it doesn't make a difference)
-Execute SimulIDE_0.4.15-SR10.AppImage
-Place a virtual Arduino Uno in the center panel
-Open a Blink sketch using Open button the the upper right toolbar. It's the 7th from the right. I have mine in /home/anestis/Arduino/Blink/Blink.ino
- Set compiler path using right click on the Blink.ino tab. Set it to /home/anestis/Downloads/arduino-1.8.19
-Click Compile which is the 3rd button from the right in the upper right toolbar.

- This prints the message below:

Sketch uses 924 bytes (2%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.

Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.


    SUCCESS!!! Compilation Ok

- After the above, click upload. 2nb button from the right.
- I get the message popup:
The file "/tmp/.mount_SimulIVEpOlb/simulide/bin/Blink.hex" was not found.
The title of the popup is: AvrProcessor::loadFirmware


I have also tried the version SimulIDE_1.0.0-RC3_Lin64 which does exactly the same.
I also tried Linux Mint in Virtual Box with the same results.

I checked the /tmp/.mount_SimulIVEpOlb/ directory and it is a read only directory mounted as a filesystem or something.
The command mout -v has:
SimulIDE_0.4.15-SR10.AppImage on /tmp/.mount_SimulIVEpOlb type fuse.SimulIDE_0.4.15-SR10.AppImage (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000)

The directory /home/anestis/.local/share/SimulIDE_0.4.15-SR10.AppImage/codeeditor/buildIno contains:

I will be happy to provide any other information you require.

Thank you!

Hi.
Now I see what is the problem.
You didn't save the circuit and that causes problems if you are using the AppImage.

So after placing the Arduino Uno in the center panel, save the circuit.

Anyway I will try to solve this issue.

Yes as soon as I saved the circuit it worked! Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks to you for reporting and the complete explanation.

Problem is solved at 0.4.15 Rev 285.
