Dumping profiles while using a profile generates non-sense output #3009
Description
Describe the problem
While using profiles – especially in the case of a default one has been specified – --dump-profile generates a wrong output, in the sense that it completely forgets about the currently selected profile.
To reproduce
❯ ls sketch_mar22a.ino sketch.yaml❯ cat sketch_mar22a.ino #include <Arduino_JSON.h> void setup() { // put your setup code here, to run once: } void loop() { // put your main code here, to run repeatedly: }❯ cat sketch.yaml profiles: default: fqbn: arduino:renesas_portenta:portenta_c33 platforms: - platform: arduino:renesas_portenta (1.1.0) libraries: - Arduino_JSON (0.2.0) default_profile: default❯ arduino-cli compile Downloading platform arduino:renesas_portenta@1.1.0...

When using a profile, --dump-profile should output the configuration of the current profile.
