@zfields I'm looking into where exactly the library items are populated from. In the meantime could you provide more information about your bug, like what library "more info" link returns a non-existent URL?
Thanks!
@zfields I've done a deep dive and understand where the libraries are populated from, it's pretty complex so I won't go into it here. However, I can likely help you get this fixed or report the broken link once I know what link is broken. Thanks!
Hi @gcampbell-msft! I don't know how I missed your first message. I'll collect the details and try to respond in the next few hours.
If you search for Blues Wireless Notecard
from the Arduino: Library Manager in VSCode, it should be the top result.
When you click More Info, then you are taken to https://github.com/rayozzie/Notecard-Library
, instead of https://github.com/blues/note-arduino
.
There is no mention of the invalid URL in the library.properties
file, so I don't know how it's picking it up.
I went to replicate this, and at first I was sure it wasn't going to do it for me, but sure enough it actually did.
Took me a couple minutes to see what's awry. It looks like the Arduino UI takes the 'more info' link from the latest version of the library in the feed, and the VSCode extension takes it from the first one in the feed. (which in this case is the lowest version)
The Library Manager is using the first occurrence (version) of a library in the feed for things like the
more info
link, it should use the latest version, as if details are updated over time they aren't reflected in the UI at all.Example - "Blues Wireless Notecard" v1.0.0
Example - "Blues Wireless Notecard" v1.3.15 notice how the

I found this line in your code, but I can't tell where you are populating your library items from; specifically the "More Info" URI.
If you can tell me the base URI, then I can put another issue on Arduino and link back here.
