Failed to find registry package after installing it with pio lib install

What kind of issue is this?

• [X] PlatformIO Core. If you’ve found a bug, please provide an information below.

---

Configuration

Operating system: Ubuntu 20.04 and MacOS 13.0.1 (Ventura)

PlatformIO Version (platformio --version): PlatformIO Core, version 6.1.6a4

Description of problem

When installing Zenoh-Pico from PlatformIO registry (https://registry.platformio.org/libraries/cguimaraes/zenoh-pico), it fails to build because it cannot find Zenoh-Pico package.

Upon installing the library using pio lib install cguimaraes/zenoh-pico, the following entry in platformio.ini is added:

lib_deps = cguimaraes/zenoh-pico@^0.7.0-rc

While doing some investigation, it seems that the issue lies on having the ^ in @^0.7.0-rc. Meaning, it works as expected if:

lib_deps = cguimaraes/zenoh-pico

or

lib_deps = cguimaraes/zenoh-pico@0.7.0-rc

Also, setting the GitHub works as expected:

lib_deps = https://github.com/eclipse-zenoh/zenoh-pico

Steps to Reproduce

1. pio init -b esp32-c3-devkitm-1
2. pio lib install cguimaraes/zenoh-pico
3. pio run

Actual Results

Library Manager: Installing cguimaraes/zenoh-pico @ ^0.7.0-rc
Error: Could not find the package with 'cguimaraes/zenoh-pico @ ^0.7.0-rc' requirements for your system 'linux_x86_64'

Error: Could not find the package with 'cguimaraes/zenoh-pico @ ^0.7.0-rc' requirements for your system 'darwin_arm64'

If problems with PlatformIO Build System:

The content of platformio.ini:

[env:esp32-c3-devkitm-1]
platform = espressif32
board = esp32-c3-devkitm-1
framework = arduino
lib_deps = cguimaraes/zenoh-pico@0.7.0-rc

Source file to reproduce issue: An empty project is sufficient

Additional info

The issue happens for any of the supported frameworks by Zenoh-Pico library: Arduino, ESPIDF, Zephyr and Mbed.

We use semantic-version Python package to operate with versions. Could you try to debug that module? Nevertheless, we don't recommend publishing beta software including release candidates to the registry. Developers can easily use these development branches with Github URLs. See https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/core/userguide/pkg/cmd_install.html#repository-git-hg-svn

Would you like us to delete all RC/Beta versions from the registry? Please publish the stable version and we will provide cleanup.

[cguimaraes]

The versioning semantic seems to be compatible with semantic-version.

>>> v1 = semantic_version.Version('0.6.0-beta.1')
>>> v2 = semantic_version.Version('0.7.0-rc')
>>> list(v1)
[0, 6, 0, ('beta', '1'), ()]
>>> list(v2)
[0, 7, 0, ('rc',), ()]
>>> print(v1 < v2)
True
>>> print(v2 > v1)
True

The two versions published in the registry are tagged as beta and rc, simply due to Eclipse Foundation guidelines as the project is still in a rapid application development stage.

>>> s = semantic_version.SimpleSpec('^0.7.0-rc')
>>> v1 in s
False
>>> v2 in s
False
>>> v2 in s

What is interesting is that semantic_version.NpmSpec produces absolutely different results:

>>> s2 = semantic_version.NpmSpec('^0.7.0-rc')
>>> v1 in s2
False
>>> v2 in s2
True

In PlatformIO Core, we use semantic_version.SimpleSpec to keep the declaration simple and understandable.

Could you report this issue to https://github.com/rbarrois/python-semanticversion/issues ?

Thanks @ivankravets . I will report it there and tag this issue.

Still, they are stable releases.

Is this fixed yet? lib_deps = https://github.com/eclipse-zenoh/zenoh-pico#1.0.0.5 doesn't install the right version

[ivankravets]

Could you follow the specification documented in https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/core/userguide/pkg/cmd_install.html#repository-git-hg-svn ?
