Such a problem occurs when using platformio to compile firmware

I recently encountered such a problem when using platformio to compile firmware, I don't know where I went wrong, and I don't know how to solve it

You seem to have downloaded the source .zip from the 20230508 release of ESPEasy. Since then, PlatformIO has changed some internals (keyword: scons) that cause the python scripts we use, to break on the build. These issues have been fixed on the mega branch, so if you use that up-to-date source your build should succeed.

We also have a Developers guide, that includes instructions for creating a Custom build. For regular builds like normal, there is no reason to create your own builds, they are all included in the downloadable .zip files.

I want to compile the previous project firmware, what do I need to do?

I want to compile the previous project firmware, what do I need to do?

While that's not a desirable or advisable option, you should be able to do that by downgrading PlatformIO to v6.1.6 or older, as from PlatformIO v6.1.7 the SCons package has been updated to a version that caused these issues.

Solid advice: Get the latest mega sources, as that will soon be the next release version of ESPEasy. And like any OSS project: The latest is the greatest (and the only supported release...).

Just being curious: What is the reasoning to try and build an older release?

[qiudecai]

Thank you! The problem is solved and I tried modifying the tools\pio\generate-compiletime-defines.py file

[qiudecai]

Build an old release because I've been using it before

Just being curious: What is the reasoning to try and build an older release?

I stick to older releases for ESP8266 because latest ones do not start AP in case of WiFi misconfiguration or network absence, thus making re-provisioning impossible.

Can you share your modifications please?

Can you share your modifications please?

This commit has the relevant changes (quite minor, but crucial 😅)

Not only 'crucial', but also took me > 10h to find and fix...

[qiudecai]

This is after I modified generate-compiletime-defines.zip

[qiudecai]

I replaced it from the latest mega download

[chemmex]

Oh, thanks. One never knows how much effort hides behind a small bugfix or update

This issue can be closed, as it is solved. The issue mentioned by chemmex is already registered as a separate issue.
