mbed-cli creates extra folders "none"

[teetak01]

I have very strange issue with mbed-cli. It creates extra folders named none when ever mbed commands are used.

For. ex. 
mkdir test
cd test
mbed new .
ls -ltr
drwxrwxr-x  3 teetak01 teetak01 4096 loka  25 09:34 none
-rw-rw-r--  1 teetak01 teetak01   77 loka  25 09:34 mbed-os.lib
drwxrwxr-x 15 teetak01 teetak01 4096 loka  25 09:34 mbed-os
-rw-rw-r--  1 teetak01 teetak01 1329 loka  25 09:34 mbed_settings.py

The folder none contains:

8,0K    ./github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/.git/info
4,0K    ./github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/.git/refs/tags
8,0K    ./github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/.git/refs/heads
8,0K    ./github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/.git/refs/remotes/origin
12K ./github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/.git/refs/remotes
28K ./github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/.git/refs
4,0K    ./github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/.git/objects/info
86M ./github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/.git/objects/pack
86M ./github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/.git/objects
4,0K    ./github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/.git/branches
44K ./github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/.git/hooks
8,0K    ./github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/.git/logs/refs/heads
8,0K    ./github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/.git/logs/refs/remotes/origin
12K ./github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/.git/logs/refs/remotes
24K ./github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/.git/logs/refs
32K ./github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/.git/logs
87M ./github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/.git
87M ./github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os
87M ./github.com/ARMmbed
87M ./github.com
87M .

In some cases I have also seen some linker-problems arising from this when it deploysmultiple copies of mbed-os due to none.

mbed-cli config:

[mbed] Global config:
ARM_PATH=/home/teetak01/ARM_Compiler_5.06u3
TOOLCHAIN=GCC_ARM
CACHE=none
PROTOCOL=ssh
TARGET=K64F

[mbed] Local config (/home/teetak01/devel/test):
No local configuration is set

Any idea what might be causing this?

@teetak01 Thanks for reporting this. I'll investigate and let you know soon. In the meantime can you update mbed CLI to latest (0.9.10) and try with it?

[teetak01]

@screamerbg updated to mbed-cli (0.9.10).

Same issue still. It first clones the mbed-os, and then possibly during syncing? it creates that extra folder?

The root-cause seems to be that I had defined the cache=none which the started to create caching folders in multiple places? Removing the cache definition completely (mbed config -G cache --unset) solved the issue for me. Thanks for debug help @screamerbg

[screamerbg]

Fix coming with #356

[screamerbg]

Fixed in latest mbed CLI (v1.0.0)
