I have a raspberry pi running a remote platformio agent (in a virtualenv).
On my laptop I have a sample project that I want to remotely test.
When I run pio remote test -e d1_mini it starts to build, generates an error (somewhere during the build it says “No names found, cannot describe anything”. The build fails (I don’t know why, compilation and linking itself succeeds) but the test continues.
Next it says testing project remotely. nothing after that.
However, when I press ctrl+c to quit, it suddently does give me the output: processing, uploading…
Now the test report itself doesn’t get captured. It is like the board doesn’t reset. But when I press the reset button it still doesn’t capture the test report. Opening the serial monitor (remotely) does work.
Here’s the complete output (edited for readability):

Mind that to generate this report, I have to manually abort after it says Testing project remotely but it resumes automatically. After uploading I also manually stop the test and (manually) open the serial monitor.
