7 years ago Hmm. That's interesting for sure. To be clear, you are not using the Use PlatformIO Structure option and it still works after linking? As I said above:
...I'm not sure if you meant that the first example should work, or only if one chooses the platformio structure option.
I'm on arch linux.
$ uname -a
Linux whammy 4.12.10-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 30 12:18:42 CEST 2017 x86_64 GNU/LinuxI've check now with Use PlatformIO Structure activated, and it work as well. But I think I know what is the step you missing.
When you activate Use PlatformIO Structure The folder structure will change, if you have you sketch in:
~/Desktop/sketch/deviot-lib-test.ino Deviot will move the sketch to the src folder and you will end with the platformio structure, you will need to add the symlink in ~/Desktop/sketch/lib/
At least in ubuntu is working, will check now on arch linux

7 years ago Ah, I know what the issue is. I got used to symlinking dir/file.ino to dir/src/file.ino due to previous issues. I thought Deviot wanted dir/file.ino, but it would fail on me due to libraries and then I'd give up and switch to using platformio directly, which would complain that there was nothing in src. So, I adopted this symlink pattern.
If I edit dir/src/file.ino, it works. To reproduce, with your structure as-is try:
$ cd test
$ ln -s src/test.inoNow open test/test.ino and try to compile (without Use PlatformIO Structure option).
Not sure if you consider this a bug... but technically the file is there in src, I'm guessing that Deviot's path just isn't looking there if you're editing from one dir higher?
Edit: for clarity:
$ tree
.
├── lib
│ └── HX711 -> /home/jwhendy/Arduino/libraries/HX711
├── pio-struct-test.ino -> src/pio-struct-test.ino ### open this; compile will fail
├── platformio.ini
└── src
└── pio-struct-test.ino ### open this; compile succeedsIf you don't have checked the Use PlatformIO Structure and there is no platformio.ini file in dir/, deviot will add the src_dir flag in the platformio.ini located in tmp/Deviot/test/ with the path of your folder sketch. So will not matter if you have dir/src/test.ino or dir/test.ino the dir/ folder will be use as the src folder without use the src_dir flag
let me know if you understand that, I think that explanation was a little confusing

7 years ago I don't totally get it...
Use PlatformIO Structure checkedplatformio.ini file present in dir/I take it that deviot will, then, not add the src_dir flag. Indeed:
$ cat /tmp/Deviot/pio-struct-test/platformio.ini
[env:nanoatmega328]
platform = atmelavr
framework = arduino
board = nanoatmega328Based on this, is it odd that I get the error? Without this src_dir flag, where does deviot look for lib? In my mind, I wondered if it would look in ../lib if it expects that I'm editing dir/src/file.ino. In fact, I'm editing dir/file.ino so it should be looking in ./lib.

7 years ago If you have:
├── lib
│ └── HX711 -> /home/jwhendy/Arduino/libraries/HX711
├── platformio.ini
└── src
└── pio-struct-test.inoDeviot will considerate this a PlatformIO project and will compile without problem
with:
├── lib
│ └── HX711 -> /home/jwhendy/Arduino/libraries/HX711
├── pio-struct-test.ino
├── platformio.ini
└── src
└── (symlink) pio-struct-test.inoThis will work in PlatformIO CLI but deviot will move the sketch to the src folder, this is a bug as I said in https://github.com/gepd/Deviot/issues/165
In both cases, Deviot will not use the tmp/Deviot folder (even if it's already there) because the platformio.ini file is in the project folder and PlatformIO structure will always have priority, also it will not add the src_folder
But if you have:
├── lib
│ └── HX711 -> /home/jwhendy/Arduino/libraries/HX711
├── pio-struct-test.ino
└── src
└── (symlink) pio-struct-test.inoIt won't be a PlatformIO project, so platformio.ini and the rest of the folders will be created (or use in case it already are there) in tmp/Deviot/...
That means you should use tmp/Deviot/pio-struct-test/lib to store your libraries (make a symlink)
But be aware, the src_dir flag will overwrite the src folder in your project, not the lib folder
This is related to #88 and some discussion in #154.
My understanding is that deviot should now tolerate a typical platformio setup. Here is a way I went about setting up a reproducible example. It requires at least some external library; if you don't have one installed, you can use this one, a pretty small library for reading a wheatstone bridge HX711 board.
