Spaces in FQBN are not supported

[micheljung]

Describe the problem

Using an FQBN with spaces, like "Heltec-esp32:Heltec ESP32 Series Dev-boards:esp32" fails with Invalid FQBN: not an FQBN: Heltec-esp32:Heltec.

Escaping like "Heltec-esp32:Heltec\\ ESP32\\ Series\\ Dev-boards:esp32" fails with Invalid FQBN: not an FQBN: Heltec-esp32:Heltec\

To reproduce

jobs:
  compile:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        fqbn:
          - "Heltec-esp32:Heltec ESP32 Series Dev-boards:esp32"
    steps:
      - uses: arduino/compile-sketches@v1
        with:
          fqbn: ${{ matrix.fqbn }}
          platforms: |
            - name: "Heltec ESP32 Series Dev-boards:esp32"
              version: "0.0.6"
              source-url: https://resource.heltec.cn/download/package_heltec_esp32_index.json

Expected behavior

It should not fail.

'arduino/compile-sketches' version

v1

Ok I think it works like so:

        fqbn:
          - "\"Heltec-esp32:Heltec ESP32 Series Dev-boards:esp32\""

Not sure if this is related to spaces or not but it might be:

What to use as fqbn for https://resource.heltec.cn/download/package_heltec_esp32_index.json ? The doc says VENDOR:ARCHITECTURE but what corresponds to VENDOR?

If I try

        fqbn:
          - "\"Heltec-esp32:Heltec ESP32 Series Dev-boards:esp32\""
        with:
          fqbn: ${{ matrix.fqbn }}
          platforms: |
            - name: "Heltec-esp32:esp32"
              version: "0.0.6"
              source-url: https://resource.heltec.cn/download/package_heltec_esp32_index.json

I get:

  Error during build: Platform 'Heltec-esp32:Heltec ESP32 Series Dev-boards' not found: platform not installed
  Platform Heltec-esp32:Heltec ESP32 Series Dev-boards is not found in any known index
  Maybe you need to add a 3rd party URL?

and with

        fqbn:
          - "\"Heltec-esp32:Heltec ESP32 Series Dev-boards:esp32\""
        with:
          fqbn: ${{ matrix.fqbn }}
          platforms: |
            - name: "Heltec ESP32 Series Dev-boards:esp32"
              version: "0.0.6"
              source-url: https://resource.heltec.cn/download/package_heltec_esp32_index.json

I seem to get a step further:

Running command: /home/runner/bin/arduino-cli core install --additional-urls https://resource.heltec.cn/download/package_heltec_esp32_index.json Heltec ESP32 Series Dev-boards:esp32@0.0.6 
[...]
  Invalid argument passed: Found 0 platform for reference "Heltec ESP32 Series Dev-boards:esp32@0.0.6":

The command looks like it would need quotes but that seems to be a just display issue; otherwise the error message wouldn't contain the correct string.

From what I'm seeing, e. g. arduino:avr:uno from https://downloads.arduino.cc/packages/package_index.json, the FQBN rather seems to be PACKAGE_NAME:ARCHITECTURE:BOARD_NAME (whereas BOARD_NAME comes from board.txt in the referenced archive).

So my issue doesn't seem to be related to spaces but rather like #73, that it's not very well documented - or am I just not smart enough? :)

This seems to work now:

        fqbn:
          - "Heltec-esp32:esp32:wifi_lora_32_V2"

which makes sense, since it's the fully qualified board name ;)

and the platform is:

          platforms: |
            - name: "Heltec-esp32:esp32"
              version: "0.0.6"
              source-url: https://resource.heltec.cn/download/package_heltec_esp32_index.json

I guess I was just too tired.
