Error creating initial 'myproj' project #2507

jcwren · 2021-02-26T17:16:20Z

Following the instructions for creating a first project, and get this error when running newt upgrade

Note that I did not change the vers field in the project.yml file. The instructions here don't match up with what's in the file.

As a test, I created a new project, changed the vers: 1.7.0 to vers: 1-latest and got this error:

I had installed newt as per the instructions.

Unfortunately this is a known issue with newt 1.7.0, you should use at least 1.8.0. It seems that the Ubuntu package was not updated but you can always get the latest release with:

go get mynewt.apache.org/newt/newt

It should work as long as you have a fairly recent go tooling and export $GOPATH/bin on $PATH.

jcwren · 2021-02-26T17:49:27Z

I'll give that a try. I know next to nothing about go. Do I need a sudo with that, or where is it going to install newt?

export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
go get mynewt.apache.org/newt/newt

no sudo required.

utzig · 2021-02-26T20:27:14Z

@jcwren I updated the debian repos, now you can apt-get update and upgrade and it should update to newt 1.8.0. If it works and newt update works (it should!), please close this issue.

jcwren · 2021-02-26T20:46:16Z

Excellent. I'm able to create a new project, update it, build it, and run it.

There's still one issue, I can open this as a new one, if you prefer. The newt install command returns the following:

Error: unknown command "install" for "newt"
Run 'newt --help' for usage.
jcw@debresc:~/Projects/myproj$

The below is from the README.md file that's created.

Download and install Apache Newt.

You will need to download the Apache Newt tool, as documented in the Getting Started Guide.

Download the Apache Mynewt Core package (executed from the blinky directory).

    $ newt install

Build the blinky app for the sim platform using the "my_blinky_sim" target
(executed from the blinky directory).

    $ newt build my_blinky_sim

Ah, install existed before, but was removed and upgrade can do everything now, so the documentation got behind, you can PR a fix here if you want: https://github.com/apache/mynewt-blinky/blob/master/README.md. Otherwise I'll see if I fix it tomorrow.

@joaquimorg The original issue is known, and it's because of submodules being moved around in the mcuboot repo, but yours looks more like a network issue or something similar, at least I don't know of any such issues in mynewt-core. Could you try cleaning up the repo, pushd repos/apache-mynewt-core && git reset --hard && popd, and running newt upgrade again? I believe the -f should do something like that already but have to review it again...

joaquimorg · 2021-03-02T13:03:06Z

Thanks for the replay, but the error is the same:

utzig · 2021-03-02T13:14:25Z

Hmmm, what OS are you using, is the filesystem mounted under /mnt/d (or /mnt/d/Work whatever) case-sensitive?

joaquimorg · 2021-03-02T13:29:23Z

Hi, I am using Ubuntu in windows WSL, and yes is case-sensitive.

joaquimorg · 2021-03-02T22:05:05Z

Even with the error I managed to compile the example.

sjanc · 2021-03-31T11:43:15Z

1.9.0-rc1 is out, this issues should be fixed there
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/mynewt/apache-mynewt-1.9.0/rc1/

sjanc · 2021-04-08T13:25:01Z

I've tested this on linux and windows with 1.9.0 and all seem to work just fine. Is this stil an issue?

RayCxggg · 2023-09-12T13:32:01Z

Hi @sjanc , I ran into the same problem as @joaquimorg described in here. I am using Ubuntu 20.04 in WSL and trying version 1.9.0. However, I can successfully build and run the Blinky sample in simulator. Any idea of the reason?

sjanc closed this as completed Apr 27, 2021
