How can we build with a specific version of a framework, such as:

platform = https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/archive/78e63280ba2f736c1803bab6e82ad5a30492fc70.zip

Where that doesn't contain platform.json file?

@HamzaHajeir you need to use https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/projectconf/section_env_platform.html#platform-packages

Thanks for help for me..

I think I ended up with a partially downloaded microcontroller platform somehow and had to delete it from the .platformio folder to fix.

I'm not sure what the fix for this is, but I'm having the exact same issue. @neilmendoza what did you do to fix this? I'm very new to VSCode, Marlin and compiling. I have Auto Build Marlin and PlatformIO extensions installed in VSCode and neither seem to be able to get past this error message. Please help.

@DevlshOne I uninstalled Platformio, deleted the whole YOUR_HOME_FOLDER/.platformio folder and reinstalled in the end. Probably didn't need to go that far and just deleting the YOUR_HOME_FOLDER/.platformio/platforms/MICROCONTOLLER_YOUR_HAVING_ISSUES_WITH folder will probably work. YOUR_HOME_FOLDER/.platformio will probably be hidden, so on Mac you have to select go to folder from the Finder menu and Windows you have to show hidden folder.

I just unsintalled platform io from vscode and deleted .platformio folder from C://User/username/, then reinstalled platformio on vscode and it worked

[rhousedorf]

this worked, just exiting vscode, deleting .platformio, running vscode again, and letting it install platformio again by itself.

Worked for me as well. Thanks!

TLDR

• Remove corrupted packages from esphome docker container and let them be downloaded again

---

I stepped upon the same issue recently inside Home Assistant environment and I just figured out the solution for that one.

Description of issue

No possibility to install/build/compile from any configuration that uses arduino framework.
Example of failing configuration:

esp32:
  board: esp-wrover-kit
  framework:
    type: arduino

Cause of the issue in my case

Loss of network on HA environment caused incomplete download of package during the build.

Solution

Steps to take:

1. Make sure you have terminal access to your HA instance. (I used https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-ssh - Advanced SSH & Web Terminal)

2. If using above mentioned addon - make sure to disable "Safe Mode" under addon's setting. (HA Settings -> Addons -> Advanced SSH & Web Terminal -> Secure/Safe Mode -> Disable

3. Open terminal

4. List docker containers running on HA instance docker ps

5. The output should look more less like this:
   

6. Copy name of esphome container

7. Enter shell of esphome container

docker exec -it <container_name or container id> /bin/bash

8. Navigate to following path

cd /data/cache/platformio/packages

9. If you list the files under that directory you should see some packages

***
framework-arduinoespressif32/
framework-arduinoespressif8266/
***

10. Remove any arduino related directories there

rm -r framework_arduino*

11. Try installing / building / compiling your configuration YAML file again.

The following solution worked for me and redownloaded the corrupted arduino build tool packages.
I hope this helps someone with similiar issue 😄
