Pio ci fails as tmp dir already has source directory

#1

Using pio ci to build example from a library i’m writing generates the following error.

scons: *** 'C:\users\username\appdata\local\temp\tmpbcql9r\.pioenvs\adafruit_feather_m0_usb\src' already has a source directory: 'C:\users\username\appdata\local\temp\tmpbcql9r\lib\src'.
File "C:\python27\lib\site-packages\platformio\builder\tools\platformio.py", line 179, in VariantDirWrap
#2

Could you provide test project to reproduce this issue?

#3

I know that the code itself doesn’t work but I think the example file should compile.
Travis compiles it fine so I guess it must be a local setup issue.

command used:
$ pio ci -l src -b adafruit_feather_m0_usb examples/printData

As I’m writing a library I’ve set the library folder to src in the ci command.

#4

You don’t need 12, 15 lines here HMRlib/platformio.ini at develop · bluespider42/HMRlib · GitHub

Try to remove them.

#5

Thanks -
I’ve got it to run by renaming the src folder to something else, or I guess i could move them into the top level.
I presume that there is a conflict between a library being a folder called src and the src folder created by platformio init.

I haven’t had this conflict on other systems though.

#6

I got this problem. It’s a bug where 2 libs don’t have manifests but have the same folder name. If manifest is missed (where “name” is defined), PIO uses folder as “name”. In this case, we have a conflict.

Please open an issue here Issues · platformio/platformio-core · GitHub.

#7

This issue seems to have gone away for me by upgrading to 3.1.0

#8

Which version did you use before?

#9

2.11.2
I seem to have had platformio installed as a python27 package and installed as an atom plugin which were at different versions.

#10

Please remove 2.11.2 and use IDE’s version. You can install pio command globally into the system via PlatformIO IDE: Menu > PlatformIO > Install Shell Commands.

#11

Thanks but this fails on my computer (Windows 10) I then get instructed to manually run

Please install shell commands manually. Open system Terminal and paste commands below:
$ sudo ln -s C:\Users\blues\.atom\packages\platformio-ide\penv\Scripts\platformio /usr/local/bin/platformio
$ sudo ln -s C:\Users\blues\.atom\packages\platformio-ide\penv\Scripts\pio /usr/local/bin/pio

Which wouldn’t work on my computer.

#12

Thanks, that is a bug. I’ve just fixed it

Could try to patch %USEPROFILE%/.atom/packages/platformio-ide/lib/maintenance.js with this file and restart Atom. Thanks!
