My select a ... doesn't work i just reinstalled the Extension as well as the recommended versions of vsc in the other issues. In the Arduino IDE the select a Serial Port works perfectly but in vsc it doesen't

Got the same issue here, when clicking <Select Serial Port> nothing happens, i can go around this though by adding port manually in the arduino.json file like this "port": "/dev/cu.usbserial-xxxxxxxx"

if I (after changing port manually) this press the button next to it (where i normally change baud rate) i get this:

Failed to open Serial port due to error:
Error: dlopen(/Users/mansdahlstrom/.vscode/extensions/vsciot-vscode.vscode-arduino-0.3.2/out/node_modules/usb-detection/build/Release/detection.node, 1): no suitable image found.

I've tried:

• Updating Arduino IDE
• Reinstalling VsCode extension

Running

• Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7
• Arduino 1.8.13
• VsCode Arduino 0.3.2

maybe try a manual build aslong there is no new version beeing published.
check #1113 (comment)

[T0mHutter]

Where are you building the plug in

[maddogjt]

I've published a new build here: https://github.com/maddogjt/vscode-arduino/releases/download/v0.3.2%2Bserialfix/vscode-arduino-0.3.2+serialfix.vsix

[joem-msft]

Adding another view of the problem. When I try to connect I get the following error:

Failed to open serial port COM4 due to error: + Error: The module '\\?\c:\Users\joemay\.vscode\extensions\vsciot-vscode.vscode-arduino-0.3.2\out\node_modules\usb-detection\build\Release\detection.node' was compiled against a different Node.js version using NODE_MODULE_VERSION 75. This version of Node.js requires NODE_MODULE_VERSION 80. Please try re-compiling or re-installing the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or `npm install`).
