-t nobuild not working on a remote run but works fine on a local run

Operating system: Tested on Windows 10, Ubuntu and Gitpod cloud

PlatformIO Version (platformio --version):

PlatformIO, version 4.1.0

Description of problem

"pio remote run -t nobuild -t upload" not working but "pio run -t nobuild -t upload" works fine

Community post related to the issue at

https://community.platformio.org/t/upload-latest-build-without-a-compile-link/9520/9

Configuration

Normal UNO Arduino setup Serial proof of upload

Steps to Reproduce

So running VS-Code local on a windows machine with

pio account login pio remote agent start

Then on a ubuntu laptop running VS-Code upload the original sketch

pio account login pio remote run -t upload

Now change your code to "version 2!" and save the file. Then try to upload the old compiled verison 1.

pio remote run -t nobuild -t upload

Actual Results

Version 2!

Expected Results

Version 1!

If problems with PlatformIO Build System:

The content of platformio.ini:


[env:uno]
platform = atmelavr
board = uno
framework = arduino

Source file to reproduce issue:


#include <Arduino.h>

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
    Serial.println("Version 1! ");
    delay(1000);
}

Additional info

Being able to use "-t nobuild" can be very useful when you just want to install a pre-tested working program for that board. I can give my students the pre-tested program and not worry if they have made any environment changes that effect the build.

I found this bug when testing with a cloud method using gitpod.io but the bug seems to happen even when using VS Code on 2 local machines.

Did you try pio remote run -t nobuild -r?

hpssjellis commented 4 years ago

Thanks @ivankravets I tried pio remote run -t nobuild -r? on the cloud server and got this result. *** [nobuild] Source .pio/build/nano_33_iot/firmware.bin' not found, needed by targetnobuild'.

The file firmware.bin is definitely in the folder location.

I can build with -r

but without -r, I get
