platformio failing with --ide eclipse

[BluDotz]

I am trying to create a project for use with the Eclipse IDE, and am using the command "platformio init --ide eclipse". However, this generates the following error output and the command comes to a grinding halt....

Error: Traceback (most recent call last):

File "", line 82, in
NameError: name 'env_name' is not defined

When I look at the files generated by the command, I find that a ".cproject" has been created, but not a ".project" file. Moreover, the ".cproject" file is completely empty.

My suspicion - having had a very quick look at the platformio code - is that either it has difficulties handling hidden files, or that there is problem during the substitution of the "project_name" parameter in the tpl files.

But you will know your code better than me, so you will probably get to the source of the problem quicker than me.

Thanks for the report. I see this bug. The problem is caused by empty platformio.ini. You don't have any environments specified in it. You can use platformio init --ide eclipse --board HERE_BOARD_TYPE or define environments manually.

P.S: I'm going to fix it now.
