Is there any way to initialize platformio.ini with user defined options?

[victorpraxedes]

I'm building a code repository which will have several third party libraries for learning purposes, the folder looks like this:

root │ ├───libs │        ├───sensor_lib │        └───display_lib │  ├───some_project │        ├───lib │        └───src │        └───platformio.ini │ ├───other_project           ├───lib           └───src           └───platformio.ini

What i'm looking for is to add lib_extra_dirs = ..\libs to the automatically generated platformio.ini when i first hit Deviot > Compile so I don't have to manually add it every time I create a new project.

You can go to Preferences > Packages Settings > Deviot > Settings and adds lib_extra_dirs to the settings with your libraries sapared by comma

Your file should looks like this:

{
    "lib_extra_dirs": "pathtolibrary1, pathtolibrary2"
}

With this, each time you compile your sketch the extra libraries will be add to platformio.ini

I did use this option, but the path it used was absolute:

{
    "lib_extra_dirs": "C:\projects\foobar\libs"
}

Is Deviot smart enough to know where to look when i clone this into another machine?

[gepd]

at this moment Deviot can't use all library options available in PlatformIO as you can see here https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/projectconf/section_env_library.html

So what you can do is to have a copy of the platformio.ini with your default settings and use it each time you create a new proyect

Ok, that was my workaround already :) Thanks for the answers.
