Broken support for uploading prebuilt filesystem to ESP32

[huming2207]

Configuration

Operating system: macOS 10.13.2

PlatformIO Version (platformio --version): 3.5.1a1

Description of problem

When using the latest platformio, the pio run --target buildfs or pio run --target uploadfs command are broken. The prebuilt filesystem images are not generated. Probably you guys haven't ready to implement yet or somehow it just doesn't work anyway.

Steps to Reproduce

Run pio run --target buildfs or pio run --target uploadfs with any ESP32 target setting.

Actual Results

Output message:

Expected Results

I don't know cuz I haven't even seen it worked for me.

If problems with PlatformIO Build System:

The content of platformio.ini:

[env:node32s]
build_flags = !echo "-DENLIGHT_GIT_REV="\"""$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)-$(date '+%Y%m%d-%H%M%S-%Z')@$(hostname)"\""
platform = espressif32
board = node32s
framework = arduino
data_dir = ./uploadfs

We currently don't support build/upload to FS for ESP32. Please file a feature request here https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif32/issues

Hi @ivankravets

I've submitted this feature request to the platform repo. Please implement it soon if possible. Thanks.
