Description
hi,
this is a deadly bug. i was uploading a sketch to Pro-Mini. the upload was hanging, so i unplugged the USB cable. after that, the sketch is completed corrupted. it turned into a binary file containing all NULs when viewed with editor.
has this been reported? anyway the sketch can be recovered.?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the failed upload with an Arduino Pro Mini and inspect how the IDE handles the sketch when the USB cable is disconnected. Compare the sketch before and after the interruption; done means the source is not replaced by NUL bytes and the failure is covered by a regression test.
