alpha5 does not see boards from 3rd party core packages

[joysfera]

Describe the bug alpha5 cannot see any of the preinstalled boards that are visible in alpha4

To Reproduce

1. run alpha5
2. check installed boards

Expected behavior All preinstalled boards are visible and usable.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Ubuntu
• 18.04

[joysfera]

It's actually messed even more, somehow. The standard Arduino boards are preinstalled but don't work. Installing AVR board support (v1.8.2) worked but then again program couldn't be compiled for AVR. So even reinstalling boards doesn't seem to help.

EDIT: cannot reproduce the issue with Arduino Uno anymore, so please ignore.

Going back to 0.0.4alpha fixes everything - installed boards re-appear and software can be compiled.

OS: Windows 10 i have same problem the IDE doesn't show any custom board.😠

[Master811129]

i can see my boards in "arduino: daemon" when i search some boards.

[Master811129]

yup! It's a cli bug. I could fix this issue by downgrading arduino-cli in path of the IDE.

[Tuzi07]

Hey Master811129, can you share how you solved it? Bug persists after going back do 0.0.4 [INFO] current best: esp32:esp32@1.0.4 [bundle: false, managed: true, version: 1.0.4]

Hey Master811129, can you share how you solved it? Bug persists after going back do 0.0.4 [INFO] current best: esp32:esp32@1.0.4 [bundle: false, managed: true, version: 1.0.4]

I just replaced an older version of arduino-cli (0.7.0) to this path (it will disable debug feature because the "debug" command has added since 0.9.0): [Installed folder]\resources\app\node_modules\arduino-ide-extension\build @kittaakos @spoenemann @ubidefeo do you have any idea?

[kittaakos]

Thanks for naming me, @Master811129. I am checking what is going on...

[kittaakos]

Please help me out a bit. I did the followings:

• Downloaded the 0.0.5 Pro IDE and wiped the user and data folders (rm -rf ~/Library/Arduino15/ && rm -rf ~/Documents/Arduino/).
• I started the app, copy-pasted the Blink example, attached my Uno (replica) board; I could verify and upload.
• Then I created a new sketch, copy-pasted the Blink example again, installed the Arduino SAMD Boards (32-bits ARM Cortex-M0+) core package, attached my MKR1000 board; I could verify and upload.

I think there two separate issues here:

The standard Arduino boards are preinstalled but don't work. Installing AVR board support (v1.8.2) worked but then again program couldn't be compiled for AVR.

@joysfera, what do you mean by it does not work?

i have same problem the IDE doesn't show any custom board.😠

@Master811129, #177 was not part of 0.0.5.

[Tuzi07]

Replaced arduino-cli to 0.7.0, bug persists

[joysfera]

@kittaakos please ignore my comment about issues with compiling for AVR (Arduino Uno). I cannot reproduce it right now. I admit I currently have a newer AVR core installed than I had originally so that might have an effect. Anyway, just forget that, seems like the AVR target is OK out-of-the-box now (in 0.0.5alpha).

[kittaakos]

seems like the AVR target is OK out of the box.

Thank you, @joysfera

@Tuzi07, can you please give us some details about what did you try, what is wrong and what would you expect? Thanks!

[joysfera]

@kittaakos and @Tuzi07 , you wanted to see how to fix the 0.0.5alpha by downgrading arduino-cli? Look here:

joy@amd:/tmp/005$ find . -name arduino-cli
./resources/app/node_modules/arduino-ide-extension/build/arduino-cli
joy@amd:/tmp/005$ cd ./resources/app/node_modules/arduino-ide-extension/build/
joy@amd:/tmp/005/resources/app/node_modules/arduino-ide-extension/build$ rm arduino-cli 
joy@amd:/tmp/005/resources/app/node_modules/arduino-ide-extension/build$ ln -s /home/joy/bin/arduino-cli 

This fixes the issue. Unfortunately I don't remember which version of arduino-cli I've got installed and it does not print its own version so all I can do to help you identify it is to show you its file length:

joy@amd:~$ l bin/arduino-cli 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 joy joy 16015360 Dec 31 12:23 bin/arduino-cli*

Perhaps it is 0.7.1 given its date - Dec 31.

[kittaakos]

@kittaakos and , you wanted to see how to fix the 0.0.5alpha by downgrading arduino-cli?

No, I wanted to understand what the problem is 😊

[Tuzi07]

1) Installed Arduino IDE beta, arduino-1.9.0-beta-linux64 2) Went to preferences and added https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json in additional boards managers URLs to enable esp32 in Boards Manager 3) Installed esp32 in Boards Manager 4) Everything working in Arduino IDE as expected 5) Installed arduino-cli brew update brew install arduino-cli 6) arduino-cli file is in home/.local/bin (Ubuntu 18.04) 7) Downloaded arduino-pro-ide-0.0.5-alpha.preview-linux64, extracted and ran arduino-pro-ide in terminal 8) Arduino Pro IDE opens and there is the following output: [INFO] current best: esp32:esp32@1.0.4 [bundle: false, managed: true, version: 1.0.4] 9) Clicked in no board selected and typed esp32 in SEARCH BOARD, nothing shows up.

[Tuzi07]

@joysfera I tried doing what you said, but when I open Arduino Pro I get <no output yet>, maybe arduino-cli was not installed properly, how do I confirm this?

[joysfera]

@Tuzi07 follow the instructions for arduino-cli to install it properly first. You want the arduino-cli board listall to list all installed cores - only then it makes sense to continue with arduino-pro-ide.

[Tuzi07]

u-blox NINA-W10 series (ESP32)  esp32:esp32:nina_w10

Isn't it installed properly?

[kittaakos]

1. Installed Arduino IDE beta, arduino-1.9.0-beta-linux64

You do not need this. The Arduino IDE and the Pro IDE are different things.

2. Went to preferences and added https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json in additional boards managers URLs to enable esp32 in Boards Manager

This is work in progress (#177)

5. Installed arduino-cli brew update brew install arduino-cli

You do not have to. The Pro IDE contains the CLI.

I tried doing what you said, but when I open Arduino Pro I get <no output yet>, maybe arduino-cli was not installed properly, how do I confirm this?

You can confirm it by starting ./arduino-pro-ide from the terminal. Do you see errors? Do you see the arduino-cli running as a process? You can also try to reset the layout in the Pro IDE: Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+P or F1 and type Reset Workbench Layout.

[kittaakos]

but when I open Arduino Pro I get <no output yet>, maybe arduino-cli was not installed properly

Do you see an arduino-cli process running when the Pro IDE does not run?

[Master811129]

Please help me out a bit. I did the followings:

• Downloaded the 0.0.5 Pro IDE and wiped the user and data folders (rm -rf ~/Library/Arduino15/ && rm -rf ~/Documents/Arduino/).
• I started the app, copy-pasted the Blink example, attached my Uno (replica) board; I could verify and upload.
• Then I created a new sketch, copy-pasted the Blink example again, installed the Arduino SAMD Boards (32-bits ARM Cortex-M0+) core package, attached my MKR1000 board; I could verify and upload.

umm i think "MKR1000 board" is an official board I have problem with 3RD PARTY (non-official) cores: To Reproduce: 1.Install some 3RD PARTY core like :ESP32 ,Mighty Core, Mini Core ,Micro Core using JAVA IDE. 2.open Arduino Pro IDE 0.0.5 alpha (it must be 0.0.5 we don't have this problem in 0.0.4). 3.you can't see them in the boards and ports menu (you cannot see them in boards manager.)

[kittaakos]

umm i think "MKR1000 board" is an official board I have problem with 3RD PARTY (non-official) cores:

@Master811129, the original title was: alpha5 does not see preinstalled boards

please ignore my comment about issues with compiling for AVR (Arduino Uno). I cannot reproduce it right now. I admit I currently have a newer AVR core installed than I had originally so that might have an effect. Anyway, just forget that, seems like the AVR target is OK out-of-the-box now (in 0.0.5alpha).

We figured out, it is about the 3rd party cores.

You have opened #177, you know exactly, it is not yet supported with the current release (v0.0.5).

I am going to write down a short step by step instruction and add it to this thread, so you can force the v0.0.5 version to make the 3rd party core packages work. Be prepared, this is very much insider, but as I see you are eagerly looking for the 3rd party boards support 😊

[joysfera]

@kittaakos thanks.

BTW, until #10 is implemented the Arduino Pro IDE cannot be used most of the time (unless you are lucky to be OK with the default parameters).

[kittaakos]

until #10 is implemented

I started to work on that feature today 😊 I do my best to make sure you get all these much-requested features ASAP.

[Tuzi07]

Tried things out on Windows, 0.0.4 works

[Master811129]

NOW IT WORKS IN 0.0.6 thank you @kittaakos. 😉
