When using the Arduino Leonardo, the following error is produced:

I was able to manually fix the file by removing the parameters that contained \", and things seem to be working. Here is the updated file:

Temporary fixed in platformio/platformio-core@c3f78d1

Please Menu: PlatformIO > Upgrade PlatformIO. The working version is 2.8.4.dev0.

Please reopen this issue if you still have problem.

@ivankravets When I try to update it says:

You're up to date!
PlatformIO 2.8.3 is currently the newest version available.

@daniel-centore please try to uninstall/install PlatformIO IDE package.
