over the air programming for ESP32: espota needs --auth= argument to be quoted #2483

Closed jamesalawrence closed 3 months ago

jamesalawrence commented 3 months ago

It is possible to perform an OTA update successfully to an ESP32 device from the command line using a command like python3 espota.py -r -i -p 3232 --auth="This is a valid auth phrase with spaces" -f project.ino.bin

However if you try to enter "This is a valid auth phrase with spaces", either with or without the quotes into the dialogue box for the OTA password within the Arduino IDE then it fails complaining that "is a valid auth phrase with spaces" are not valid arguments for espota.

Please quote the password that is collected within the dialogue box so that spaces do not cause failure.

Hi @jamesalawrence. Thanks for your report.

The problem is caused by insufficient quoting in the command template defined in the platform.txt configuration file of the "esp32" boards platform, not by a problem in the Arduino IDE codebase. So I will close this issue as off topic for this repository.

I have also submitted a pull request to fix the bug in the "esp32" boards platform configuration so the resolution is in progress even though it isn't appropriate to track it via this issue tracker:
