Cannot create new PlatformIO project in CLion

[drewmutt]

Configuration

Operating system:
Mac (M1) 12.5.1

PlatformIO Version (platformio --version):
6.1.11

Plugin Version:
233.6745.300 (had same issue in prev versions)

CLion Version:
CLion 2023.3 EAP (same issue in 2023.2.2)

Description of problem

The first step of the create new PlatformIO project, fails. Preventing me from creating new projects in CLion.

Steps to Reproduce

1. File > New Project > PlatformIO

Actual Results

Behold the text "Gathering info..." in the board list, and the following error below it:
Use JsonReaderEx.setLenient(true) to accept malformed JSON at line 1 column 2

The "Create" button is expectingly gray, and progress cannot continue.

Expected Results

Display the list of boards, and allow the user to select one to continue.

Additional info

Looking into the source, I found a call to pio boards --json-output.

Executing it appears to work correctly, and the JSON doesn't appear to be corrupt.

If your any CLI input (like pio --version) comes with warning like this:
.platformio/penv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/urllib3/__init__.py:34: NotOpenSSLWarning: urllib3 v2.0 only supports OpenSSL 1.1.1+, currently the 'ssl' module is compiled with 'LibreSSL 2.8.3'. See: https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/3020
You should try downgrade library with following command:

. ~/.platformio/penv/bin/activate
pip install urllib3==1.26.15

JFYI: #4614
TLDR: Warning comes in board list output causing parser fail

@ak1987 , thanks for the solution. It is the right solution to check the pio boards command.

This solved my problematic "pio --version" result but my CLion keeps gathering info

Edit: I have solved my CLion problem as well. when I check the system version of Platform.io withpio system info, it showed my Python executable as a conda env. So, downgrading urllib in ~/.platformio/penv/bin/activate env was not effecting my CLion side at all. So I uninstalled my platformio from conda env by pip uninstall platformio then I installed like the recommended installation:

curl -fsSL -o get-platformio.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/platformio/platformio-core-installer/master/get-platformio.py
python3 get-platformio.py

It installed brand new platformio env to a folder under my Users folder like

/Users/USERNAME/.platformio/penv/bin/python

and finally I have done the @ak1987's solution and my problem is fully solved.
