Unable to upload non-pros .bin file to v5

[superrm11]

I'm working on getting a VSCode version of VEXCode Pro working on linux. Building the project works, and produces a .bin file, but attempting to upload it is throwing python errors. The .ini file uploads fine.

I tried it with a normal empty pros project as well, and it uploaded.

The command: prosv5 upload --target v5 --project build/2021-2022-BIG.bin --slot 1 --name 2021-2022-BIG --icon USER926x.bmp /dev/ttyACM0

Output:

would you mind running with --debug and attaching the output

ok yeah i think i see the problem. you misunderstand what the --project flag is for. it is required, yes, but you need to give it a directory containing a project.pros, or a project.pros file, or, and this is the part that's tripping you up i think, a file in the same directory as a project.pros file (the code that searches for a project doesn't discriminate when a file is passed to it).

now the trouble is you haven't actually given the upload command a file to upload, because the --project argument isn't used for that. there's no usage error here because file path is not required (because usually you just specify upload in a pros project directory and we find the right bin to upload).

so basically, things should Just Work if you stop specifying --project

[HotelCalifornia]

incidentally the reason it's not complaining that it couldn't find a pros project here even though there's none in the directory you've given it is because the upload command does not require a project flag and allows project to be None.

actually, i take that back. it's got to be interpreting the serial port as the path to a binary. so it successfully opens the serial port as a file and then fails because that's a non-seekable file (obviously)

[HotelCalifornia]

i'm honestly not sure what checks we could possibly add to mitigate this issue....... but i think i'm content in saying it's such a fringe case we can just ignore it most of the time

[HotelCalifornia]

gonna close this now. feel free to reopen if that doesn't work

Alright, thanks for the information.
