B4R Question B4R Board Manager error, with Arduino15 path is new

[peacemaker]

Hi, All and @Erel

Just installed latest Arduino IDE 2.x, CLI and B4R 4.0 on a new laptop (Win11).
Arduino CLI and "Arduino15" folder are moved to another drive:

board_manager:
    additional_urls:
        - https://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
        - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json
directories:
    builtin:
        libraries: d:\Programs\Arduino\Arduino15\libraries
    data: d:\Programs\Arduino\Arduino15
    user: d:\Programs\Arduino\Sketches
locale: en

Boards are installed OK, Arduino IDE compiling, uploading an example sketch is OK.
javac path is choosen.
But Board Manager gives error:

B4R version: 4.00

Any ideas ?

Run this command (with correct path):

"C:\Program Files\Arduino CLI\arduino-cli.exe" board listall --format json > 1.txt

Zip the text file and upload it.

Zip the text file and upload it.

No need to zip it... empty.

{}

But they are installed:

Spoiler: But they are installed

@Erel, is it possible to make the arduino-cli utility to get the installed boards via the path got first from C:\Users\%USER_NAME%\.arduinoIDE\arduino-cli.yaml ?

By "data: d:\Programs\Arduino\Arduino15" path.

No hardware found, if "Arduino15" folder is moved

Hi, All IDE version is 2.3.6. If to move the Arduino15 folder into another drive by the settings in C:\Users\%USER_NAME%\.arduinoIDE\arduino-cli.yaml like: board_manager: additional_urls: - https://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json -...

forum.arduino.cc

Suggested to do so, Erel

d:\Programs\Arduino\CLI>arduino-cli.exe --config-file "C:\Users\LOQ\.arduinoIDE\arduino-cli.yaml" board listall --format json > 1.txt

Such command returns the huge 1.txt file with list of the installed boards !

d:\Programs\Arduino\CLI>arduino-cli.exe --config-file "C:\Users\LOQ\.arduinoIDE\arduino-cli.yaml" core list
ID Installed Latest Name
esp32:esp32 3.1.3 3.2.0 esp32
esp8266:esp8266 3.1.2 3.1.2 esp8266

Works also !

d:\Programs\Arduino\CLI>arduino-cli.exe board listall --format json > 1.txt

Default call returns the empty list, @Erel.

Have a look at this. Be sure to read it from the first post to get a better understanding. Maybe there is a similar option if you dig carefully for the boards manager...

[SOLVED] <LiquidCrystal.h> not found - How to change libraries folder in arduino-cli

Good evening everyone, I kept postponing this but now that I have to correct something and I cannot do it, we have reached the node... What happens is that I had Arduino 1.8.19 installed in my computer and I had created an app that used Liquid Crystal Display. I completely removed the Arduino...

Besides my previous answer you might also consider uninstalling the boards completely and then changing the folders in arduino-cli and re-installing the boards. Might be useful to change also the sketchbook folder in Arduino IDE in Files > Preferences.

If no " directories: " is available

Thanks, but my folders are EN, it's OK. And IDE works OK with these folders paths.

"arduino-cli config init" command clears the file "arduino-cli.yaml" content (i edited back).
Boards were installed OK after the "arduino-cli.yaml" file edited.

Trouble is that "arduino-cli" must be called not by default, but always with THIS config file "arduino-cli.yaml" path, as i posted above, in B4R IDE i mean.
It was pointed at the Arduino forum, and mentioned that Arduino IDE does the same.

 

[Erel]

The default config file for arduino-cli is: C:\Users\H\AppData\Local\Arduino15\arduino-cli.yaml

You can copy the one from C:\Users\%USERNAM%\.arduinoIDE\arduino-cli.yaml

I will make B4R look for the IDE config file.

 

[peacemaker]

copy the one

Yes ! Thanks, Erel, it helped !
