Hi,
I want use my local library in platformio project. I created there library.json, because I want decide what files should be in my lib (h ttp://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/librarymanager/config.html#export): exclude some extra dirs (doc, tests, …), and include some another file.
After that I found some unexpected (?) behavior. The same problem appears in remote git repository (examples below):
#1. when library.json not exist, library manager find headers/source files and import them to .piolibdeps - sometimes not this files what I expected.
Example: GitHub - ericniebler/meta: A tiny metaprogramming library
$ pio lib install git@github.com:ericniebler/meta.git
Library Storage: /home/velmafia/my/project/.piolibdeps
LibraryManager: Installing meta
git version 2.11.0
Cloning into '/home/velmafia/my/project/.piolibdeps/_tmp_installing-Bcuuzr-package'...
(...)
test @ 0.0.0 has been successfully installed!
But main library files (from include/meta) are absent:
$ tree .piolibdeps/
.piolibdeps/
└── test
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── meta.cpp
└── simple_test.hpp
1 directory, 3 files
#2 when library.json exist, library manager clone whole git/local repository to .piolibdeps, and ignore export: include/exclude section.
Example: GitHub - nanopb/nanopb: Protocol Buffers with small code size
$ pio lib install git@github.com:nanopb/nanopb.git
Library Storage: /home/velmafia/my/project/.piolibdeps
LibraryManager: Installing nanopb
git version 2.11.0

Nanopb @ 651bdc4 has been successfully installed!
Nanopb (h ttp://platformio.org/lib/show/431/Nanopb) has correct library.json, so I thing output should be the same as in PlatformIO Registry (h ttp://platformio.org/lib), but it isn’t.
$ tree .piolibdeps/ -aL 2
.piolibdeps/

According to documentation (h ttp://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/userguide/lib/cmd_install.html#description), library.json should be supported also in local/git repo:
PlatformIO supports installing from local directory or archive. Need to use file:// prefix before local path. Also, directory or archive should contain .library.json manifest (see library.json).
My Questions:
#1 What is correct solution to download files “include/meta/*” from example #1? My first idea was create library.json with “export: include” section, but as we can see in #2, this isn’t working in local/git repository.
#2 In example #2 output should be the same as in PlatformIO Registry, and I found bug?
BR.
