dev install instructions

[tablatronix]

Does anyone have any reliable dev install instructions ?

I was getting errors, then in noticed by package repo was pointing to deviot_2, which seems to now be develop branch. So i changed that now when in install deviot I get

'"C:\Users\...\Documents\projects\bin\sublimetext\Data\Packages\User\Deviot\penv\Scripts\platformio"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

and my scripts folder is empty...

I seem to always have problems, is it more reliable to just use git ?

So far I have worked out this.

package manager -> add repository
https://github.com/gepd/Deviot/tree/develop

package manager -> install or upgrade package, depending on what you are doing
select deviot ( ignore the fact that this will not show your custom repo url!)
It should install now

This might not be always needed, but it fixes stuff when i have a catastrophic failure
click preferences
click browse packages
go up a folder to user/deviot and delete it
restart sublime text
platformio will reinstall automatically

[gepd]

yes, that is the easiest and fastest way to use the develop branch.

Same instructions are posted in: https://github.com/gepd/Deviot/wiki/Setup#developer
including the way to force update to the latest changes made in the remote branch

[tablatronix]

So what is the difference between upgrade package and upgrade/overwrite packages. I thought the later just did all packages

[gepd]

If for example; I push a change and you update to get that last change, it will do normally. But if I push a new change 5 or 10 minutes later, and you try with the upgrade option, it will not download that changes, in that case upgrade/overwrite do works. At least in my case, as I work with multiples virtual machines, I got that behavior when I try to update too often

[tablatronix]

interesting, i have noticed in sublime logs "skipping upgrade until blah"
I wonder if that is some rate limiting that can be overriden

[gepd]

According to the package control setting file, there is an option:

// The minimum frequency in hours in which to check for automatic upgrades,
// setting this to 0 will always check for automatic upgrades
"auto_upgrade_frequency": 1

I just went through installing the dev version and thought it worked to add the repo and then upgrade, but some various behavior made me less sure. I ended up just removing/re-installing and think that it would be awesome to change the description in the Package Control -> Install menu. This is what I get:

I can infer that v2017.09.07 looks more like development than v2.1.1, but both list github as the source. I also found it tricky to actually get a version out of Deviot. I upgraded PlatformIO, for example, and this printed out:

[ Deviot 2.1.1 ] Starting...
09:50:18 Searching for PlatformIO Updates...

You're up-to-date!
PlatformIO 3.4.1 is currently the newest version available.

So that message doesn't differentiate the version at all, and is the same as the released version. Deviot -> About just sends me to this repo. It would be great to show the version (git hash) somehow.

[tablatronix]

Yeah I mentioned that above, package control does not reflect a custom repository in the select.
Not sure how you got 2 items showing up though.. I only see the one, regardless of package control or custom repository, maybe if you add repo before installing, i added repo after installing from package control

Deviot console shows version
[ Deviot 2.1.1 ] Starting...

[jwhendy]

@tablatronix I'm guessing I get two items because Deviot is submitted to some sort of Package Control repository. Note that the install isntructions don't require anything special for the release version. Just install Package Control and then install Deviot from it.

Since I've added the develop repo as well, Pacakge Control shows both. That's my guess anyway.

I think between the lines, it is showing a custom repo based on the version. One is release nomenclature (v2.1.1) and the other is a date, which signified a rolling release to me.

That said, I think they could be clearer for sure.

[tablatronix]

oh did you install dev manually?

[jwhendy]

I just followed the instructions.

• add develop repo via Package Control user settings
• Package Control -> Install package -> type deviot into box as shown

Do you only see one option when you do that? Keep in mind that I'd uninstalled first, so I think it's showing that I can install either the release or developer version.

[tablatronix]

I add repo as in my post, package control -> add repository -> paste develop repo url, then install, not sure if this does something other than adding it to the file just the same, or of it registers it in cache so you only get the one.

[jwhendy]

Seems to do the same. My way produced this user config:

{
	"bootstrapped": true,
	"in_process_packages":
	[
	],
	"installed_packages":
	[
		"Deviot",
		"Package Control"
	],
	"repositories":
	[
		"https://github.com/gepd/Deviot/tree/develop"
	]
}

I just deleted the entire repositories: entry and did it your way. I get this (exact same result):

{
	"bootstrapped": true,
	"in_process_packages":
	[
	],
	"installed_packages":
	[
		"Deviot",
		"Package Control"
	],
	"repositories":
	[
		"https://github.com/gepd/Deviot/tree/develop"
	]
}

• Current: Package Control -> Install package:
  

• Package Control -> Remove package: Deviot

• Package Control -> Install package, type deviot:
  

No idea, but that's what I get! I'm still not following what you're confused about. You haven't posted any screenshots to compare what's listed, whether you're looking at the install list with the develop branch installed already, with Deviot completely removed like me, etc.

Edit: I did a little digging about how Package Control works and to add a package, you edit some .json files that create their listing. Here's the d.json file where deviot is listed. So, I think one will always see Deviot 2.1.1 because it's baked into the PC repos. We've added this one, so it shows up twice.

[gepd]

I've check that, and yes, when you install deviot and let the repository option with the develop branch, it will show you deviot twice.

I'm trying to fix this little problem. I know it started when I update the name of the package in the file d.json from Deviot to Deviot (Arduino IDE) I suppose when it's using the master branch, it will get the name of the repository from that file, and when it's using the develop it won't

[tablatronix]

now what is going on ?
Is deviot (arduino IDE) is now the package name ?

Is it gonna stay like that, ill wipe and reinstall and see if that ges it working again,

edit:yup seems to work now

[jwhendy]

@tablatronix Interesting. I got some notice about a failure to load a file (something like sublime.deviot.settings, bu don't recall exactly??) and thought it was just me.

Maybe due to how versions were updated this caused a momentary blip for everyone? Reinstalling worked for me as well, even though I think it complained on startup after the change, after removal, and after restarting). After re-install/reboot, it did not complain again.

[tablatronix]

Yeah my menu was all greyed out aside from a few things ill have to turn off auto updates for now before dev becomes unstable with so much activity

[gepd]

I've updated the instructions: https://github.com/gepd/Deviot/wiki/Setup#developer

I think now it's easier and it solves the problem with the duplicate entries in the Package Control list

[jwhendy]

Can you post a full version of what hierarchy this should have in the full config? I'm having a bunch of errors, but likely due to assuming I'd pass this as a completely separate top level dict. Probably wrong...

I can't seem to get develop to actually install either. I have this currently (a guess how it should be):

{
	"bootstrapped": true,
	"in_process_packages":
	[
	],
	"installed_packages":
	[
		"Deviot (Arduino IDE)",
		"Package Control"
	],
	"packages":
	[
		{
			"details": "https://github.com/gepd/Deviot/tree/develop",
			"donate": "https://gratipay.com/~gepd/",
			"labels":
			[
				"build system",
				"ide",
				"arduino",
				"iot",
				"platformio"
			],
			"name": "Deviot (Arduino IDE)",
			"previous_names":
			[
				"Deviot"
			],
			"releases":
			[
				{
					"branch": "develop",
					"sublime_text": ">=3000"
				}
			]
		}
	],
	"schema_version": "3.0.0"
}

Is that correct?

When I try to install, I see only one listing for Deviot (Arduino IDE). It shows the install page, but I have no Deviot menu, even after restart. How are the new instructions be pointing to the develop branch?

[gepd]

When you go to Preferences > Package Package Control > Add Repository it will prompt for an url, paste https://rawgit.com/gepd/Deviot/master/repository.json and override the packages.

There is no need to manually edit the config file

[jwhendy]

Whoops. I missed that it was Add Repository and not edit settings. I saw paste and then didn't read on :(

I must have goofed something as I don't have a Deviot menu anymore, even though it's installed. I also only get prompted for 2.1.1 install.

[gepd]

Try using Upgrade/Override All Packages
if it doesn't help, let me know if there is any error in the ST console

[jwhendy]

I blew away a bunch of stuff in .config/sublime-text-3 the other day when trying to figure out the complaint about the missing Deviot syntax file. I think I messed up ST3 more than expected.

I just reinstalled and things appear to be working.

Did you ditch the idea of x.y.z-dev.n for versioning? develop branch also just has 2.1.5, or so it looks that way from __init__.py. Or is it just that develop and master are currently even?

[gepd]

I've just released the version 2.1.5 to fix all problems related with the package renaming, it had broked the master branch, so it was necessary to do it now
