Core 5.0.x can't handle platform-packages directive #3693

orrmany · 2020-09-30T16:12:51Z

Configuration

Operating system: Windows 10 64bit

PlatformIO Version (platformio --version): 5.0.1.

Description of problem

Platformio mishandles platform-packages directive

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new project with platformio.ini as follows:

[env:adafruit_feather_nrf52840]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = adafruit_feather_nrf52840
framework = arduino
monitor_speed = 115200
;platform_packages = framework-arduinoadafruitnrf52 @ https://github.com/orrmany/Adafruit_nRF52_Arduino.git#develop-ant-plus-ble

Add src/main.cpp with boiler plate blinky example:

#include <Arduino.h>
void setup()
{
  // initialize LED digital pin as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
  // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);
  // wait for a second
  delay(100);
  // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);
   // wait for a second
  delay(100);
}

build your project. Observe that Platformio downloads and install the nRF55 platform with its toolchain, then it builds the project succesfully
Edit your platformio.ini. Remove the leading semicolon from the front of the line:
platform_packages = framework-arduinoadafruitnrf52 @ https://github.com/orrmany/Adafruit_nRF52_Arduino.git#develop-ant-plus-ble
attempt to build

Actual Results

The build fails, the build script asserts (due to faulty download of wrong platform packages), like this:

Expected Results

It should build normally using the nRF52 platform fork https://github.com/orrmany/Adafruit_nRF52_Arduino.git#develop-ant-plus-ble

If problems with PlatformIO Build System:

The content of platformio.ini:

[env:adafruit_feather_nrf52840]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = adafruit_feather_nrf52840
framework = arduino
monitor_speed = 115200
;platform_packages = framework-arduinoadafruitnrf52 @ https://github.com/orrmany/Adafruit_nRF52_Arduino.git#develop-ant-plus-ble

Source file to reproduce issue:

#include <Arduino.h>
void setup()
{
  // initialize LED digital pin as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
  // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);
  // wait for a second
  delay(100);
  // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);
   // wait for a second
  delay(100);
}

Additional info

Obviously, PlatformIO downloads some bogus "midi-test" v. 1.0.0. package instead of the nRF52 platform fork above

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

It should be?

platform_packages = platformio/framework-arduinoadafruitnrf52 @ https://github.com/orrmany/Adafruit_nRF52_Arduino.git#develop-ant-plus-ble

then I've deleted the custom package dir manually, so it started to install:

The old core has installed the custom packages as .platformio/packages/framework-arduinoadafruitnrf52@src-86afce17ddb3b6c25ca6e2f29943ab03.
The new core did not create such a directory. Obviously it tries to install to .platformio/packages/framework-arduinoadafruitnrf52, where the non-custom package resides, then it fails

ivankravets · 2020-10-16T09:18:30Z

platform_packages = platformio/framework-arduinoadafruitnrf52 @ https://github.com/orrmany/Adafruit_nRF52_Arduino.git#develop-ant-plus-ble

Could you re-test with the latest pio upgrade --dev?

orrmany · 2020-10-16T11:09:39Z

Will test soon, thank you. However, until then a comment: The new Core 5.x claims 100% backward compatibility with 4.x projects. Your request to add a "platformio/..." prefix breaks backward compatibility....

It should be?

Ok, it succeeds when I _do not _ use the custom packages directive, but it FAILs with custom-package directive
here are the findings:

it either reports, or executes in the wrong project folder (I have a multiproject workspace)
it gets assertion error

If I comment out the platform-packages directive, then it builds in the right directory (C:\Users\egbozie\local\CustomBlinky\CustomBlinky\.pio\build\adafruit_feather_nrf52840) , but still reports wrong project dir (it reports "SD-card-PoC", which project is also part of the same workspace. I do not know if it is relevant, but my "SD-card-PoC" project happens to be located on Microsoft OneDrive and it is the "last" one on the list of OneDrive-located projects in my workspace:

Note, that PlatformIO did not attempt to installt the correct platform-package from github, maybe the stale bogus package, which contains some MIDI-test shit is cause of the problem?

orrmany · 2020-10-16T12:18:29Z

Ok, after manually removing the stale custom-package via PIO-Home UI, the bogus MIDI-test package has gone. Platformio now started to install the custom-packages, but again messed up with the non-custom variant of the same library. It seemingly tried to install ON TOP of the existing (non-custom) arduinoadafruitnrf52 framework. I as a PlatformIO user want/need to use both framework packages simultaneously. Installing one on top of other is not acceptable.

ok, I have restarted the PlatformIO-IDE, which cleared the file-access problem. Obviously that was some multihread race condition, i.e., you need to check your semaphores...
After the restart the custom-framework installation did not report error anymore, but it installed the same MIDI-test crap, so then the build has failed:

This crap has been installed instead of the real packages:
framework-arduinoadafruitnrf52.zip

orrmany · 2020-10-16T13:41:55Z

I looked around a little bit:

.platformio/platforms/ content looks good:
- nordicnrf52, i.e., the original platform
- nordicnrf52@src-5bf0db87290a59bacd6fcea330624e29, i.e., the customized platform
.platformio/packages/ content does not look good:
- although framework-arduinoadafruitnrf52 is present, but contains the MIDI-test crap attached in the earlier comment. It should have continued to contain the original packages
- framework-arduinoadafruitnrf52@src-5bf0d... is missing, should have contain the freshly installed custom packages from github

ivankravets · 2020-10-29T18:42:11Z

https://github.com/orrmany/Adafruit_nRF52_Arduino.git#develop-ant-plus-ble

I don't see package.json in this branch.

orrmany · 2020-10-29T18:44:45Z

@ivankravets, it might be so, I will check upstream. However, does that justify to install some MIDI-test crap instead???

ivankravets · 2020-10-29T18:46:33Z

Yes, that is a reason. The package manager looks recursively for package.json manifest which says that this is a root of a package. Please check any official package for the format of package.json.

orrmany · 2020-10-29T18:49:38Z

By all respect, I disagree @ivankravets. That might trigger the bug in the pkg. management, but it is still a bug, nonetheless. Silently installing some nonsense due to a broken package content and then later failing with misleading compile time messages --- that is a bug, IMHO.

ivankravets · 2020-10-29T18:53:03Z

Manifest is the only genuine information. People keep packages in the different strucutres. We recommend to keep manifest in the root. Others prefer to have an intermediary folder between root.

So, if you have package.json in the root and it does not work - please open issue. We are not responsible for the packages without manifests or with broken.

orrmany · 2020-10-29T18:57:28Z

ok, so then the trigger for the bug is that I've referenced a clone of the original _ Adafruit framework, not the clone of the PlatformIO package of the said framework... This worked fine with 4.xPlatformIO :/
I will see what I can do for workaround...

cujomalainey · 2020-10-29T22:15:18Z

I'm sorry I'm a little lost here, do we have a work around for why forking a BSP does not work?

ivankravets · 2020-10-29T22:16:41Z

It works. Just fork it and add package.json into the root.

ivankravets · 2020-10-29T22:17:07Z

See example https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/package.json

orrmany · 2020-10-30T11:18:15Z

@ivankravets: I tried to check the package.json for the non-modified Adafruit_nRF52_Arduino platform package. IIRC the command for this in 5.0.x: pio access list according to https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/core/userguide/access/cmd_list.html
However: contrary to documentation such command does not exist in 5.0.b2:

PS C:\Users\egbozie\local\CustomBlinky\CustomBlinky\.pio\build> pio  access --help

Try 'pio -h' for help.

Restarting the IDE did not help either:

Sorry, no idea. Thoundsands of develoeprs use PlatformIO everyday. You are the first with this issue. Let's wait for more reports. I don't know what I can advice. Windows brings a ton of problems latest times. Alsom people install spy "antivirus" software which blocks Python.

@orrmany i can verify on my end the command works on OSX

ivankravets · 2020-10-30T18:27:12Z

Great! How did you fix it?

cujomalainey · 2020-10-30T18:47:58Z

I haven't done full test yet, just verified the access command is there (didn't do anything) will hopefully try fixing build tommorrow

@ivankravets It looks like it is some deadlock here. Adafruite doesn't want to add package.json, see adafruit/Adafruit_nRF52_Arduino#571 and I see their point about not updating version there. PlatformIO insists on the file that was not required before. So what is the solution - only fork and add the file?

For more details see: adafruit#571 platformio/platformio-core#3693

ivankravets · 2020-11-09T20:01:13Z

Yes, just fork and put package.json to the root of the repository.

orrmany · 2020-11-10T11:22:46Z

@ivankravets, in other words: you require that the package metadata be part of the package. That is a problem for all of your package maintainers with 3rd pty libraries. Now they have create and maintain a fork just for the sake of adding a metadata...

ivankravets · 2020-11-10T11:27:37Z

Yes, that was the step to remove these issues when people try to install "hello-monkey" as a dev-platform. Then contact us and ask why the monkey does not speak. So, let's protect beginners from monkeys and improve our UX.

@ivankravets , a looser question maybe: how can I find the URL of the repo containing the platformio framework packages, i.e., where PlatformIO team maintains the PlatformIO fork of the Adafruit framework library? The repo, where the PlatformIO team has added your version of package.json to the Adafruit code?

I would like to study your fork (and your other package-forks, as well)
Thanks!

ivankravets · 2020-11-10T12:52:41Z

We don't have forks because we don't modify official software. The only what we do - we put package.json and fill manifest with metadata. Some packages are mirrored on Bintray. We plan to release our new front-end to the new registry soon.

orrmany · 2020-11-10T13:26:20Z

Is there any step-by-step tutorial, how can an innocent user, like me, who has had a valid solution for his custom framework hack in PlatformIO 4.x which just had worked, migrate to 5.x?

The only reason I have had to fork the Adafruit framework is for adding ANT+ radio support, which Adafruit cannot embrace due to legal reasons. The guy who has originally made the PlatformioIO integration hack for me has gone long ago.

I am extremely frustrated: I have had a setup that worked in 4.x and 5.x just broke it and I am lost now. I do not want to learn how to develop/hack PlatformIO, I just want to use it

I have read https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/core/migration.html but it is no help. That document sucks for non-insiders, I am sorry: it describes what has been changed but gives zero clue for me how shall I fix my previously working stuff...

I do not want to spend days on learning PlatformIO internals, I couldn't care less. It is an extremely frustrating situation and it directly invalidates the original promise of PlatformIO: make a dev.env., which "just works"... :(

ivankravets · 2020-11-10T14:00:21Z

@orrmany Very good question! So, found the root why do you need to work official package. Could check these docs https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/projectconf/advanced_scripting.html#override-package-files ?

If it is not clear, we would be happy to improve.

So, the goal is that you will not worry about the framework package. You will just patch it to your needs. This will help you to be up-to-date with the latest framework and apply your changes.

orrmany · 2020-11-10T15:27:57Z

Ok, thanks! Considering that adding the ANT+ radio support is not a simple diff, but in fact a bunch of additional files and several modifications to the original files, so I use git and a forked repo.
I hope this "patching" works somehow with git.

Do you suggest that

I shall compare the upstream library repo to my fork (which I regularly sync with the upstream) using git and dump the multi-file difference into a "patch-tarball"
add the "patch-tarball" to my PlatformIO project, which refers to the original, non-forked library from Adafruit as a dependency
and somehow configure PlatformIO to redo my fork during build time by patching the upstream library with the patch generated in step 1 from my fork elsewhere?

orrmany · 2020-11-10T15:35:45Z

I have to say I need to contest what you write here, @ivankravets. What helps me to be up-to-date with the latest framework and apply my changes is to keep my fork in sync with upstream. I have to do that regardless of PlatformIO both for my sake and for the sake of my GitHub downstream followers.

Requiring me to redo this syncig in the PlatformIO build system really sounds as pure waste. I fail to understand why is it "easier" than I just being able to tell PlatformIO to "use this alternative forked repo instead of the upstream repo"??

What changes I've made to my fork w.r.t. the upstream library shall not be the business of the PlatformIO build system in any way, IMHO...

ivankravets · 2020-11-10T16:22:44Z

than I just being able to tell PlatformIO to "use this alternative forked repo instead of the upstream repo"??

You can, I still do not understand your issue. Everything works as expected. We just fixed a historical issue. If the PlatformIO package manager does not want to install an unknown package it does not mean that we broke something.

Over 1,000 issues related to "this freedom" which we had in PlatformIo Core 4.0.

cujomalainey · 2020-11-10T18:15:20Z

So you are saying this was never feature but an unfixed bug that we could just pass in a platform-packages repo that was simply a fork as an override?

ivankravets · 2020-11-10T18:18:47Z

we could just pass in a platform-packages repo that was simply a fork as an override?

You can do this with PlatformIO 5 as well. It has full support to override the default package with a package from a git.

orrmany · 2020-11-18T21:53:57Z

Finally made the build working again under Core 5.0.3 by adding a package.json and creating a platform.json, as well, for my platform fork, too. (I had to create a platform fork as I wanted to create a new board type for the modified firmware.
I had to use CLI, though, as the PlatformIO IDE was very unstable with the (faulty) repos: I got constantly hanging build sub-processes during the (failing) package installation, without any meaningful printout.
The package management at the time of writing this (Core v. 5.0.3) is absolutely not robust, it can't handle packaging errors gracefully, nor to give any meaningful error message.
Now the issue is closed for me, as well. :)
