Installation doesn't work - Filenames too long?

[MrTucks]

Steps to reproduce:

1. This platform is not installed in Platformio. (I had tried to install it before. But I uninstalled it in the PIO home to try again and get the output log)
2. Create new Platformio Project using the Raspberry Pi RP2040 platform (the official one)
3. Project gets created successfully
4. change platformio.ini to

   
   [env]
   platform = https://github.com/maxgerhardt/platform-raspberrypi.git
   framework = arduino
   board_build.core = earlephilhower
   board_build.filesystem_size = 0.5m

[env:pico] board = pico ; if using picoprobe SWD upload / debugging ;upload_protocol = picoprobe ;debug_tool = picoprobe

5. wait for platformio to (try to) install everything and look at the output. There are a few errors at the end and it doesn't seem to install correctly.

If I then click build (in in platformio project tasks) it tries to do the same thing, I think. But the output is a bit more verbose. Same error though.

Output after changing platformio.ini:

I have never used platformio. I'm very sorry if I've overlooked something obvious, done something wrong, etc.

Enable Win32 LongPaths and retry.

Does it still fail?

[MrTucks]

Thank you so much! I got it working!

I activated it like your link says and then did a full restart of the PC. Unfortunately, the same error still occurred. Then I followed this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22575662/filename-too-long-in-git-for-windows git config --system core.longpaths true I tried it again and there was some error about a missing build script, so I just deleted .platformio, reinstalled platformio and tried again. And it worked! It installed everything. After changing the board to rpipicow in platformio.ini the LED blinking example just worked on my Pico W! 🥳

Windows long paths support is kinda wonky, but I guess I can live with it. :D

I think I still have some (minor) issues:

1. Sorry, I forgot to copy and paste the output. But during the installation (after changing the platformio.ini to use this platform) there were some warnings about could not rm some folders because they weren't empty. I can reinstall everything again and get you the log if you want. But I guess since it works, it wasn't that important.
2. In PIO home, the project inspection doesn't work. It gives the following error: project inspection.txt Platform Tasks -> Advanced -> Verbose Check outputs the following: verbose check.txt

Please note: check results might not be valid! Try adding --skip-packages

Yes, cppcheck has problems when it's let loose on the toolchain folders. But it's not strictly needed when it's only supposed to check your firmware code. As per documentation, add check_skip_packages = yes to the platformio.ini and retry.

Thank you very much!
