Cannot connect to comm port when running project on board: ESP8266_BOARD

[matthew-lawrence]

Hello,

I am very excited to see that someone has gotten Espruino working with VS Code, I am trying to duplicate this success but having problems. I have changed the env-config.yaml to my com port and board type of board: "ESP8266_BOARD" which I believe is the correct board type for esp8266. I successfully built the quickstart project, using the NPM packages at the versions specified in package.json. However, when I try to execute ctrl-shift-b and run the espurino-console, I receive an error that Port "COM4" not found. Unable to connect. My esp8266 is on comm 4. I have tried on 3 different windows machines and 4 different esp8266 boards, 3 nodemcu 1.0 ESP8266 NodeMCU LUA CP2102 ESP-12E and one ESP8266 ESP-12 ESP-12F NodeMcu Mini D1. I have flashed all of the boards with the latest 4gb firmware (espruino_2v01_esp8266_4mb_combined_4096.bin) from http://www.espruino.com/Download.

I am able to connect to the esp8266 from the Espruino IDE, but using VS Code is by far the preferred choice! Are there any suggestions? Thank you
