install package issue

[MrszhuL]

OS: macOS12.6.6 IDE: vscode with arduino-cli

[Starting] Install package - GD32Community...
GD32Community:gd32:0.0.1
Invalid argument passed: Found 0 platform for reference "GD32Community:gd32@0.0.1":

[Error] Exit with code=7

When I add the url to Arduino settings and want to install this package some problems occurred like above.

I have googled it but nothing found, so how to aim the problem and shoot it down?

[maxgerhardt]

I have never used nor registered anything with the Arduino-CLI ecosystem.

How can I reproduce what the error message? Some batch script / reproduction steps?

1. Var homebrew to install Arduino-cli

   brew install arduino-cli

2. In vscode Arduino settings add url in the red box (ps: I can promise that this json in this IP address is as same as yours, because I just copy it to my server due to the GFW😞 )
3. then choose the board in board manager and click install. the problem maybe arise in output

In vscode Arduino settings

Which extension is that exactly? Are we talking Arduino IDE 2.0 or this Microsoft extension

Since there is no "arduino-cli" extension

[MrszhuL]

Yes, I have used this extension. Arduino-CLI is not an extension, it may be available from this website.

Add URL in the red box

The above quote can be found in the picture below:

While this is not fixed, can you use VSCode but deactivate the Arduino extension and install the "PlatformIO" extension and follow https://github.com/CommunityGD32Cores/gd32-pio-projects#general-usage-notes?
