PlatformIO installing dependencies for the wrong platform

PlatformIO Core
1

Hello, for some reason, PlatformIO ignores dependency platforms when installing dependencies from library.json from an actual dependency defined in platformio.ini.

My platformio.ini

[platformio]
default_envs = esp32dev

[env:esp32dev]
platform = espressif32
board = esp32dev
framework = arduino
lib_ldf_mode = chain+
lib_deps = 
	sandeepmistry/LoRa@^0.8.0
	ottowinter/ESPAsyncWebServer-esphome @ ^2.1.0
board_build.f_cpu = 80000000L
monitor_speed = 115200

[env:nanoatmega328]
platform = atmelavr
board = nanoatmega328

Here is a library.json from ESPAsyncWebServer-esphome

{
  "name":"ESPAsyncWebServer-esphome",
  "description":"Asynchronous HTTP and WebSocket Server Library for ESP8266 and ESP32",
  "keywords":"http,async,websocket,webserver",
  "authors":
  {
    "name": "ESPHome Team",
    "maintainer": true
  },
  "repository":
  {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "https://github.com/esphome/ESPAsyncWebServer.git"
  },
  "version": "2.1.0",
  "license": "LGPL-3.0",
  "frameworks": "arduino",
  "platforms": ["espressif8266", "espressif32"],
  "dependencies": [
    {
      "owner": "ottowinter",
      "name": "ESPAsyncTCP-esphome",
      "platforms": "espressif8266"
    },
    {
      "owner": "esphome",
      "name": "AsyncTCP-esphome",
      "platforms": "espressif32"
    },
    {
      "name": "Hash",
      "platforms": "espressif8266"
    },
    {
      "name": "ESP8266WiFi",
      "platforms": "espressif8266"
    }
  ]
}

For some reason, PlatformIO installs all the dependencies ignoring the “platforms” despite me tryingto build it only for platform “espressif32”. When I manually remove these dependencies from the file the libraries no longer install.

What can I do to fix it? Thank you

And that happens with the latest PlatformIO core? Remove the .pio folder, CLI → pio upgrade --dev and build again. Does it again download the wrong deps?

Just tried it. Unfortunately, it does. Here is the command line output:

PlatformIO has been successfully upgraded to 6.1.0b1!

According to dependencies — PlatformIO latest documentation this should work. Please file an issue in Issues · platformio/platformio-core · GitHub so that @ivankravets can look into it.
