Arduino IDE Library Unsearchable #178

Closed DexterCarpenter closed 2 years ago

DexterCarpenter commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug In trying to find the Loom library in the Arduino IDE library manager, no results are found for search terms 'Loom' or 'SAMD'.

Hardware in Use Arduino IDE ver. 1.8.19 (old) Windows 10 Microsoft Surface Windows 10 PC Additional Windows Laptop (Cameron W)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open Arduino IDE, Loom does not need to be pre-installed. This issue arises whether loom is pre-installed or not.
  2. Go to File>Preferences>Additional Board Manager URLs and ensure that https://adafruit.github.io/arduino-board-index/package_adafruit_index.json,https://github.com/OPEnSLab-OSU/Loom_Auxiliary/raw/master/package_loom_index.json is included.
  3. Navigate to Sketch>Include Library>Manage Libraries...
  4. Search 'Loom' on Type: All, Topic: All
  5. No results are found.

Expected behavior The loom library does not show up, no versions shown whatsoever.

Code Occurs regardless of code being uploaded. This occurs on a blank sketch.

Config Occurs regardless of code being uploaded. This occurs with no config file.

Additional context I came across this issue 2/14/22 around 1:00PM with Cameron W while trying to check to see if my loom version was up to date, and found that I couldn't find the loom library in the library manager.

Yes, this is expected. The library gets installed alongside the board profile, not standalone

You can find the version by going Tools > Board > Board Manager and then searching Loom

Loom SAMD Boards should show up then.
