Arduino 2.0.3 - Update Boards

KurtE · December 5, 2022, 12:54pm

This morning I see that 2.0.3 was released (popup from running Arduino 2.0.2) so downloaded and installed...

A couple of quick observations:

It gave me the normal notifications that there were boards and libraries that could be updated.

In my case figured probably the normal (SDFat - as I am using my Branch/fork of Pauls SDFat ) and Teensy as I am running the beta version...)

Clicked on Manual for libraries. Sure enough SDFat...

Then clicked on Manual for boards. And this time it showed me all boards, not just updateable (Type field showed all). I hit this yesterday as well with daily build. So I manually changed that field to updatable.

It also showed that megaAVR boards could be updated, so clicked the install, and it failed:

Tool arduino:avr-gcc@7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino5 already installed Tool arduino:avrdude@6.3.0-arduino17 already installed Downloading packages arduino:arduinoOTA@1.4.0 arduino:megaavr@1.8.8 Installing arduino:arduinoOTA@1.4.0 Failed to install platform: arduino:megaavr. Error: 13 INTERNAL: Cannot install tool arduino:arduinoOTA@1.4.0: searching package root dir: files in archive must be placed in a subdirectory

And yes, still shows the Teensy

EDIT: Should mention, it only happened the first time I opened it, this morning since I installed this release. Not sure what the difference might be.
Maybe first time of the release? Maybe first time since it downloaded the files. (Maybe should try again in another 4+ hours ?)

Same issue here:

Thanks for the report to you both. I can reproduce it and have reported the problem with the "Arduino megaAVR Boards" platform update to the appropriate people.

I'm working on a formal report for the bug with the "Type" filter in Library Manager/Boards Manager and will circle back here with a link once that is submitted.

Thanks so much for bringing this bug to our attention. I have now submitted a formal report on your behalf:

github.com/arduino/arduino-ide

"Updatable" filter not set in Boards/Library Manager during "INSTALL MANUALLY" operation if other view open in side panel

conclusion: resolved topic: code type: imperfection

### Describe the problem Arduino IDE automatically checks for available updat…es to boards platforms and libraries installed via **Boards Manager** and **Library Manager**. If an update is available, a notification dialog appears with the following options: - **LATER** - **INSTALL MANUALLY** - **INSTALL ALL** "**INSTALL MANUALLY**" opens the **Boards Manager** or **Library Manager** view with the "**Type**" filter set to "**Updatable**". This allows the user to evaluate the available updates and install them selectively. If another view was already open in the Side Panel, the "**Type**" filter is left set to the default "**All**" when the **Boards Manager** or **Library Manager** view is opened. 🐛 "**INSTALL MANUALLY**" will not provide the user with a convenient path to update dependencies. ### To reproduce #### Set up An outdated version of a library is installed in order to trigger the update offer dialog: 1. Open the **Library Manager** view if it is not already open. 1. In the "**Filter your search**" field, type `arduinocloudthing` **ⓘ** This is just an arbitrarily selected library with no special significance. 1. Select "**1.7.2**" from the version menu on the "**ArduinoCloudThing**" entry. 1. Click the "**INSTALL**" button. 1. An "**Install library dependencies**" dialog will now appear. Click the "**INSTALL WITHOUT DEPENDENCIES**" button. 1. Wait for the "**ArduinoCloudThing**" library to be installed successfully. #### Demo 1. Select **File > New Sketch** from the Arduino IDE menus. **ⓘ** This is done to ensure the **Library Manager** view has the default "**Type**" filter setting. 1. Click the folder icon on the Activity Bar to open the "**Sketchbook**" view in the Side Panel. 1. Press the <kbd>**Ctrl**</kbd>+<kbd>**Shift**</kbd>+<kbd>**P**</kbd> keyboard shortcut (<kbd>**Command**</kbd>+<kbd>**Shift**</kbd>+<kbd>**P**</kbd> for macOS users) to open the "**Command Palette**". 1. Select the "**Arduino: Check for Arduino Updates**" command from the menu. 1. Wait for the "**Updates are available for some of your libraries.**" notification dialog to appear. 1. Click the "**INSTALL MANUALLY**" button. 🐛 The **Library Manager** view opens with the "**Type**" filter set to "**All**": ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8572152/205676639-55757e80-9ae9-4108-a0de-c8c74c9c6138.png) ### Expected behavior The "**Type**" filter is always set to "**Updatable**" when the "**Library Manager**" view is opened via the "**INSTALL MANUALLY**" button of the platform update offer dialog. ### Arduino IDE version 2.0.3 ### Operating system Windows ### Operating system version 10 ### Additional context I bisected the introduction of the bug to ac9cce1 / https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/pull/1662 (does not occur when using the build for the previous commit 3ad6609 or older). --- The "**Arduino: Check for Arduino Updates**" command palette command was used in the demo as a convenient way to trigger the update notification. The bug also affects the more commonly used update notification on IDE startup. --- I used the technique of manually opening a view in the side panel in the demo in order to make it as simple as possible. However, the fault also occurs in the more likely use cases when the panel was open for other reasons, such as: - The panel open state was restored for the workspace on startup due to it having been open during the previous IDE session. - Both Boards and Library Manager updates were available and the panel was previously opened for a manual update operation via the other view ([real life example](https://forum.arduino.cc/t/arduino-2-0-3-update-boards/1061726/1). --- The fault also occurs when opening the view with filter configured via [a `librarymanager`/`boardsmanager` link](https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/dev/sketch-specification/#libraryboards-manager-links) under the same conditions. For example: ``` // http://librarymanager/Updatable ``` --- Originally reported by @KurtE at https://forum.arduino.cc/t/arduino-2-0-3-update-boards/1061726 ### Issue checklist - [X] I searched for previous reports in [the issue tracker](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues?q=) - [X] I verified the problem still occurs when using the latest [nightly build](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software#nightly-builds) - [X] My report contains all necessary details

This bug was fixed an hour ago. The only tricky thing is that the package index is cached, so it might take some time for the IDE to update the local copy of the index on everyone's computer. Once that happens, it should be possible to use Boards Manager to update to "Arduino megaAVR Boards" 1.8.8 without any error.

Thanks again for bringing that to our attention.

I can confirm the fix went into place here, and megaavr@1.8.8 installed fine.

Fix for the issue about showing all boards, instead of just updateable

Has been fixed and is in today's build 1209
