flash() got an unexpected keyword argument 'file'

[hghowe]

Expected Behavior:

upload a built program to robot (Cortex)

Actual Behavior:

Does not upload. I get a message: TypeError: flash() got an unexpected keyword argument 'file'

Steps to reproduce:

Happens every time I try to upload. Program is the base level program, and it built successfully.

System information:

Operating System: OSX 10.13.6

PROS Version: <!-- run prosv5 --version --> 2.6.1

Additional Information

Newly installed Atom & PROS. Robot connected via computer to programming kit to joystick to USB to VEX cortex.

Just loaded a clean install of PROS on another mac. Same error.

It's possible that specifying a binary file broke at some point. We're no longer developing PROS CLI 2 (in favor of PROS CLI 3, which supports both Cortex and V5 projects).

As a workaround, don't specify the file. If you're in a PROS project directory, the CLI will figure out what to upload.

If you're insistent that you need to specify -f, you should modify proscli/flasher.py line 35 (I'm not sure where this file would be on a Mac - @HotelCalifornia or @jwalk511 might be able to help with that) and change binary to file and see if that works for you.

Also tried it with another Cortex. No change.

Did you try any of @edjubuh's suggestions?

Strangely, I hadn't seen his post when I posted on the 24th. We were trying to use the Cortex for a specific project - we just gave up and pulled the V5 from our competition bot. Then the end of the school year came along, and I got tied up in that.

I had just been using the GUI - I never specified a file, to my knowledge. I had just pressed the upload button, and that is what it scripted.

It sounds like the best thing to do is to switch over to PROS CLI 3.

I may just give up on this thread - I was using some of our old Cortexes (Cortices?) for a recruitment project - we're mostly developing for V5 these days.
