PlatformIO Home: "Show at startup" checkbox not working

[wurmtal868]

Configuration

Operating system: Windows 7

PlatformIO Version (platformio --version): Home 0.6.1·Core 3.5.1a6

Description of problem

"Show at startup" has no effect. PlatformIO Home will be shown no matter if the box is checked or not

Steps to Reproduce

1. Uncheck "Show at startup" on Home tab
2. Close the HOME tab
3. Restart Atom.IO

Actual Results

Atom.IO will open PlatformIO Home tab in foreground

Expected Results

Atom.IO should restore the last state of tabs without the PlatformIO Home tab

Did you overwrite HOME environment variable?

[wurmtal868]

I have a HOME variable defined in Win 7 and PlatformIO is using this folder. I have not defined any HOME in PlatformIO-IDE

[ivankravets]

It seems that JS does not handle it in the same way as Python does. Please add extra http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/envvars.html#envvar-PLATFORMIO_HOME_DIR environment variable.

Also, don't forget to restart IDE.

The extra HOME variable did the trick.
This is nothing I would do intuitive.

Ok, let's debug it together.

https://github.com/atom/fs-plus/blob/master/src/fs-plus.coffee#L20

Please provide an output of

echo %HOME%
echo %USERPROFILE%

[wurmtal868]

Here is the output:

C:\Users\wurmtal>echo %HOME%
c:\home

C:\Users\wurmtal>echo %USERPROFILE%
C:\Users\wurmtal

Good, I made PR atom/fs-plus#44

If they don't merge it, I'll implement own getHomeDirectory for Node.JS.

Should work in the latest release

[wurmtal868]

I removed the environment variable.
It's working fine.
Thanks!
