Thanks for the report @jmlippincott, could you try to access the Mu Serial with an attached device and and send us the log immediately after the error is shown? This will help us see more information about what might be happening.

jmlippincott commented 3 years ago

That's the confusing piece here; the device is attached and Mu is able to edit/save the code.py from the device. I've attached the most recent log, immediately following an attempt to open Mu Serial. I've also attached a screenshot to show the REPL from the device, active in my Mac OSX terminal (iTerm 2 + oh-my-zsh), next to the window of Mu Editor showing the code.py loaded from the device, while also showing the "Could not find an attached device" error.

Thanks for adding the new log with the extra info. This is the relevant part:

2021-05-26 12:27:06,147 - mu.interface.main:942(show_message) DEBUG: Could not find an attached device.
2021-05-26 12:27:06,147 - mu.interface.main:943(show_message) DEBUG: Please make sure the device is plugged into this computer.

It must have a version of MicroPython (or CircuitPython) flashed onto it before the REPL will work.

Finally, press the device's reset button and wait a few seconds before trying again.

So it's not seeing the serial device at all (I was hoping maybe it was a permission error). By any chance are you running Mu on an M1 macOS?

jmlippincott commented 3 years ago

I am, yes! Sorry, didn't realize that was a relevant piece of information. screenshot_23

carlosperate commented 3 years ago

Only relevant because it was a known issue with detecting the serial port in the M1: https://github.com/mu-editor/mu/issues/1543

Normally the CPU architecture is captured in the log, but because Mu runs with Rosetta it reports as x86_64.

One thing you can try to do is update the adafruit_board_toolkit dependency, which contains a fix. From the directory where Mu.app is installed (likely /Applications) you could try:

mu-editor.app/Contents/Resources/Python/bin/python3.8 -m pip install --upgrade adafruit_board_toolkit

Fixed! Thanks so much! screenshot_24 screenshot_25

Awesome, glad you got it working! Thanks so much for the report and all the testing, let us know if you find something else 👍

Glad and relieved to see the fix works in real life.
