Hi,

since this moring (with no code changes) the build of my project failed in the python code. here is the traceback

This happens with ESP32 only as far as i can see. RP2040 compiles with no problem.

here is my platformio.ini config

[env:BOARD_ESP32]

platform = espressif32@4.3.0

board = esp32dev

this seems to not happen with platform = espressif32@5.1.0
i think this is a backward compatibility problem.

Are you using the latest core? CLI → pio upgrade --dev and retry.

yes i’m on the latest version of pio

i just did it again. still not working. here the output of the upgrade process


PS > pio upgrade --dev

Hm, it’s definitely still used / reacted upon in e.g.

Can you open an issue in Issues · platformio/platformio-core · GitHub?

i opened an issue on github.

i’ll start testing 5.1.0, but before I consider the version stable enough takes some time. that’s why I’m still on 4.3.0.

It would be cool to have at least some recent version working.

EDIT: its fixed
