Open mincrmatt12 opened 5 years ago

mincrmatt12 commented 5 years ago

Configuration

Operating system: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

PlatformIO Version (platformio --version): 3.6.3

Description of problem

While attempting to install some packages on a filtered network (specifically, one that blocks the raw.githubusercontent.com domain), PackageManager reported

Error: Detected unknown package 'framework-esp8266-rtos-sdk

despite the fact that this package does in fact exist.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Artificially block the raw.githubusercontent.com domain
  2. Attempt to install the framework-esp8266-rtos-sdk package

Actual Results

PlatformManager: Installing framework-esp8266-rtos-sdk
Error: Detected unknown package 'framework-esp8266-rtos-sdk

Expected Results

PlatformManager: Installing framework-esp8266-rtos-sdk
Error: Unable to download 'framework-esp8266-rtos-sdk

(or some message to indicate the issue is not a missing package, rather the inability to download it)

@ivankravets Are you sure this should be here? The esp8266 package was used as an example, the bug occurs for any package.

Could you try to run in PIO IDE Terminal

pio run

Do you see more detailed info why a package is not found?

mincrmatt12 commented 5 years ago

I'm running in the terminal right now, and it doesn't install because the package url was unaccessible. I raised the issue because the error generated in this case is unclear, Unknown package suggests that the package doesn't exist, when in this case it simply couldn't download

Do you use proxy? Do you have access to https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif8266/blob/develop/platform.json#L16:L21 ?

mincrmatt12 commented 5 years ago

I am able to access the first two, but the last 4 are blocked.

ivankravets commented 5 years ago

Do you have python-requests package in a system? Or TLS/SSL libs? You need update them.

mincrmatt12 commented 5 years ago

To clarify, I'm not asking for help downloading the packages - I'm fully aware my network filters requests to githubusercontent, and using a different network makes it work. I'm just saying that the error reported is very misleading, and that it should be changed.

ivankravets commented 5 years ago

The idea of package mirrors to ignore off-lined and search for another. See https://github.com/platformio/platformio-core/blob/develop/platformio/managers/package.py#L66

So, very often some mirrors are down and other online. In this case, we don't show "misleading" warnings. The problem is really with only this package framework-esp8266-rtos-sdk, it is not mirrored and available only via Github manifest. I'll think how to resolve this issue better.

Alright, that makes sense. Thanks.
