Mac OSX serial port problem

[arrowcircle]

Hi!
On Mac OSX nodemcu devices appear not as /dev/ttyUSB0, but as /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART.

Here is two outputs:

./nodemcu-tool devices
[NodeMCU-Tool]~ Unable to establish connection
[NodeMCU-Tool]~ Cannot open port "/dev/ttyUSB0"

nodemcu-tool devices --port /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART
[NodeMCU-Tool]~ Connected
[device]      ~ Arch: esp8266 | Version: 2.2.0 | ChipID: 0x3a7c4f | FlashID: 0x1640ef
[device]      ~ Connected Devices | Total: 1
[device]      ~ - /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART (Silicon Labs, undefined)
[NodeMCU-Tool]~ disconnecting

How it could be fixed?

Hi @arrowcircle ,

hmmm it shouldn't open a port to list devices...i will check this.

HI @arrowcircle ,

thanks for your report! it is fixed in 3.0.1 (current master branch)

background: during the refactoring of the codebase i've used some special commands for testing...therefore the devices action tried to establish a serial connection which is not required by the command.

sorry for this!

best regards, Andi

v3.0.1 has been release (GitHub + NPM)
