Today, Arduino IDE will not compile a sketch, even after
again downloading and installing the latest ARDUINO 1.8.9.

"Error compiling for board NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)"
Worked yesterday.


Arduino: 1.8.9 (Mac OS X), Board: "NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module), 80 MHz, Flash, Disabled, All SSL ciphers (most compatible), 4M (1M SPIFFS), v2 Lower Memory, Disabled, None, Only Sketch, 230400"

Aside from turning off automatic updates,
any thoughts and/or suggestions?

I'm a user (vs. developer) in my 70's and have multi-thought threading problems in my head. Please be understanding.

- Sat Nov 16, 2019 11:21 am #84576 HERE IS THE SOLUTION:
go to arduinos website and use the Mac Beta Version, it worked for me.
