Compile with --saveto option

Troubleshooting
1

Hi,

I run this command inside my project directory.

particle compile photon --saveTo software.bin

it gives me error
"I couldn’t find that: --saveTo"

Is there any alternative command to this?

Thanks

Try particle compile photon * --saveTo software.bin

It’s missing the parameter of the directory to compile for.

Actually I tried that also.

I couldn't find that: *

Works for me. Are you in the directory containing the files?

KENMBP:oled-dht22 kennethlimcp$ particle compile p * --saveTo x.bin

I’d prefer this version

particle compile p . --saveTo x.bin

as the single dot (.) denotes the current directory more explicitly than the astersik (*) which usually denotes a multi-place-wildcard.

@kennethlimcp I think * not works because of Windows OS.

@ScruffR thanks for the solution it worked for me.

Also particle compile p *.* --saveTo x.bin works
