arduino / arduino-ide Goto Github PK

PlatformIO provides for "properties" or a "config" like file to be used to set various options for the project...
As a minimum, adding this as an "option" would be great if the IDE could use this to override board information and other option at compile time... May want to give a warning when doing so...

I've looked and couldnt see any other references to this so apologies if this duplicates another request.

Will there be automatic versioning? EG everytime you compile or upload code to a board, will it silently save the most recent version of your code allowing you to refer back to it later if you introduce a bug not found until later?

Will there be intergration with GitHub, perhaps upload to repositiory when compiling allowing the option to submit only compiled binary or source or both? This too would be great for versioning.

Hello everyone

I think the View Explorer creates confusion when we have more projects. The IDE on startup always opens the first one.
If I select a project in the list proposed by the "Open" button it opens all the files contained, horizontally as in the Cassic Mode. In very large projects there is confusion.

Can we think of adding a new Project File? It could contain all project files and all folders, libraries, Arduino type and preferences. etc. The IDE should open one project at a time.

Describe the request

Allow the Arduino IDE installation and dependencies (application, preferences, platforms, sketchbook) to be stored under a single folder.

🙂 The user can put a complete sketch development environment on a portable drive and use it on any available computer.
🙂 The user can create a complete self-contained project environment with all project dependencies, including the IDE application itself.

Describe the current behavior

The IDE installation and dependencies are stored in multiple separate places on the user's computer:

• Application folder (e.g., C:\Program Files\Arduino IDE\)
• Configuration folder (e.g., C:\Users\<username>\.arduinoIDE\)
• Data folder (e.g., C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Arduino15\)
• Sketchbook folder (e.g., C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Arduino\)

It is not possible for the user to configure the location of the "configuration folder".

It is possible to configure the location of the "data folder" (via <configuration folder>/arduino-cli.yaml), but doing so is user friendly and the configuration file is under the non-configurable "configuration folder" anyway.

🙁 A complete sketch development environment can not be easily moved between computers.
🙁 Complete self-contained project environments can't be created.

Additional context

Arduino IDE 1.x has a portable installation capability, which is enabled by creating a folder named portable under the Arduino IDE installation folder. The configuration, boards platforms, and sketchbook are then stored under that folder:

https://docs.arduino.cc/software/ide-v1/tutorials/PortableIDE

Due to system security restrictions, it is not possible for users of the macOS or Microsoft Store packages of Arduino IDE 1.x to use that feature. These deficiencies in the previous system might be considered when designing an equivalent feature for Arduino IDE 2.x

Issue checklist

• I searched for previous requests in the issue tracker
• I verified the feature was still missing when using the latest nightly build
• My request contains all necessary details

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
SystemVerilog functionality in the pro version would be a plus for development of FPGA based boards

Describe the solution you'd like
Inclusion of language support and compiler for FPGA solutions. Simulator is better with 3rd party software like f.ex. ModelSim.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Including a CLI compiler to be callable from the IDE, where all necessary scripts etc. included in automatically the same way as MCU sources are included and hidden in MCU Arduino solutions.

Also, as a user, the FPGA brand is not of importance, so if f.ex. Xilinx FPGAs is easier to include than Intel FPGAs, this is the way to go in my opinion

Additional context
I am a university researcher, who is dealing with MCUs, FPGAs and their interconnections on daily basis. I am myself working on MCU-FPGA board(s) to ease up the research, and I know the benefits and draw-backs of using such systems. However, if the programming environments were fused into one, with the easy-to-program approach used in Arduino, this would be beneficial for many interested in learning FPGA programming in my opinion.

Actually, the SystemVerilog programming could be done in a separate environment if this is easier to implement, but including the compiler to automate the synthesis of the digital circuit and the design of the MCU-FPGA interconnection would be enough to make f.ex. the Vidor 4000 or possible future similar boards more versatile, in my opinion.

Describe the request

Give a unique border color for each Arduino IDE window with a different port selected.

If several Arduino IDE windows have the same port selected, they have same border color.

Same request for Serial Monitor.

Describe the bug
the app does not color 'byte'

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Arduino Pro IDE'
2. type 'byte'
3. See the problem

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS:Win 10

like this one arduino/arduino-pro-ide#150

Will be more viable if progress status while installing additionals boards and libraries

Is the Split command for viewing two different .cpp files available? If so, how do you invoke it? In VSCode, a right click at the top of an open code window has a drop-down with five sub-blocks. The bottom one allows you to open additional code windows. The ProIDE only has the top block for closing code windows, but nothing for opening additional windows.

It would be very nice to be able to set Newline, CR/LF, etc for the Serial Monitor from the sketch/.ino file. Often in using others code, something doesn't work as planned and it ended up being the serial monitor being configured wrong for that particular sketch. To be able to select that in the sketch would end the confusion. Thanks!

Describe the bug
Using the ArduinoCore-samd println function in Serial is highligthed as "No matching member function for call to 'println'" even if it is shown in code completition and the sketch is built without problems:

No matching member function for call to 'println'

/Users/username/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/hardware/samd/1.8.6/cores/arduino/Print.h:78:12:
note: candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'Uart' to 'Print' for object argument

To Reproduce

1. Install ArduinoCore-samd.
2. Create a simple sketch and write a Serial.println("..."); statement
3. See error

Expected behavior
Call to println be correctly recognized as belonging to Serial.

Describe the bug
There is a bug with "Peek Declaration" and "Peek Definition"
"Peek Declaration" does nothing!
"Peek Definition" shoes the declaration of functions instead of their definition
The same happens with "Go To...

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open Blink example
2. right click on digitalWrite and select "Peek Declaration" -> noting happens
3. right click on digitalWrite and select "Peek declaration" -> it shows the declaration in common.h

Expected behavior
It should work like in VSC, in this example

• "Peek Declaration" should show the declaration of the function in common.h
• "Peek Definition" should show the definition of the function in wiring_digital.c

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In my experience (and, as I gather, from the experiences of many), I've found that I spend hours trying to debug a script when I had apparently used an assignment operator instead of an equality comparison operator—with the lack of the extra '=' managing to evade me for a long time.

Describe the solution you'd like
When using an 'if statement' or a 'while loop' or any similar setup—where the assignment operator is apparently not used as widely as part of the conditions for those statements—the IDE would issue a warning if an assignment operator is used instead of an equality comparison operator.

For example,

if (someVariable = someValue){ }

would result in a warning that says (along the lines of) "are you sure you meant to use an assignment operator here"?

If I'm not mistaken, PyCharm already does this for Python.

Thank you for reading this!

Describe the request

When I run the Arduino IDE I'd like to see the Arduino logo or a dedicated Arduino IDE logo (if such a Arduino IDE logo exists) in the launcher.

Describe the current behavior

no Arduino logo or something similar is displayed on the launcher when running the Pro IDE. Instead the default "no-logo" launcher symbol is shown:

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Since the Arduino ecosystem is made to get people with a limited background of programming or electronics into this field, it would be interesting to consider giving a very short description and link to the reference when hovering over the elements.

Right now it shows the bare minimum on information (not the name of the arguments, datatypes in cpp instead of the more readable Arduino way)

Describe the solution you'd like

This is a small attempt to make a description that might be understandable by a beginner, that could be included in the header files, with a hyperlink to the reference and a nicer way to describe the function. *int should be boolean

Describe alternatives you've considered
It might be that this function is only enabled in the limited version of the interface; the non-advanced version; but if we could make it a standard to have a short description in the header files; it might actually make life easier for the reader of the header files and the beginning user trying to make sense of a piece of code.

Additional context
This screenshot above is just an example of the concept; the text; color coding; could probably be improved.

These look more like the function itself since it is called digitalWrite:

Write a value to a pin

Write a digital value to a pin

These don't look like the function itself, which could be confusing or enlighting (having different words to describe the same) and the order of the words matches the function's arguments:

Give a pin a digital value

Give a physical pin a digital value

Taking some time during vacations for getting used to Arduino Pro IDE V0.0.2 (0.0.2.20191025.13).

Third time trying, but I guess I haven't understood the roles of Workspaces and Folders in relation to Sketches.

Starting Arduino Pro IDE, I haven't already found out how to begin a sketch and give it the name I'd like to. I always have to save it named like the date I've started it. Indeed I've just managed to name the Workspade ("Save Workspace as ..."). Nevertheless, the sketch inside it is also named like the current date. The only solution I found to have a Sketch named as I desire is to prior creating it in Arduino IDE (that one for mortal people) and saving it, so that I can further open it in Arduino Pro IDE.

Moreover, why "New Folder" and "Add Folder to Workspace..."? What are these resources designed for?

So, what's the relationship between Workspaces, Folders and Sketches? Is there any tutorial about it?

#_requires_developers'_further_instructions

I would like to ask for a small feature request: it would be awesome to have small support for Git inside the Arduino IDE.

I understand GIT is really feature-rich and making the IDE fully compliant will be a full project on its own... but having a simple "Commit changes to this file" option in the File menu (with a key shortcut) if the file belongs to a git repo would be AWESOME already. It does not need to do much: just check that git is installed, check if the opened file is part of an existing local repository, and give the user a dialog with a 1-line commit message and OK/Cancel buttons if you click on it (or push the right key combination).

I think this will cover 90% of the use cases with Git, that is already a must for any-sized development projects. Having to do 'git commit -m blabla filename' on a separate console is quite some burden that makes you(me) not use it at the end.

Thanks for a great IDE!

Describe the request

Enable compiler warnings by default by changing the default value of the "Compiler warnings" preference.

🙂 Important information about potential problems in Arduino code will be visible to more Arduino IDE users.
🙂 Developers of shared Arduino projects will be encouraged to write warning-free code

Describe the current behavior

The default value of the "Compiler warnings" preference is "None"

🙁 Users might suffer from bugs that are difficult to troubleshoot without assistance from the compiler.
🙁 Developers of shared Arduino projects are not aware that their code produces warnings and so don't fix them. These warnings then make it more difficult for users of dependent projects who do enable warnings to differentiate the warnings in their own code from the warnings from the dependencies.

Describe the bug
Refer to the bug title and see the attached screencast:

Desktop:

• OS: all
• Version: from source, HEAD

In Outline I've already seen that the loop function and the void function appear, but now it's buggy, when I start it, it's there, when I write something it disappears, I don't know how far this idea of ​​putting the function tree goes, but I already implemented, it would be cool if all the functions really were there, voids / if / while and etc., the functions that close the code, and that there was a description after it depending on the comment that is in the code. And that it is possible to minimize trees by functions, etc. Furthermore, it is possible to minimize them in code, for example, I don't want to see the setup function now, minimize it, and that's it.

So for example, in the tree, this code below would look like this:

void setup
void test (Description 1)
-------if (If test)
void test2 (Description 2)
-------if (test2)
void loop

Describe the request

Pre-release update notifications

By default, don't provide update notifications for pre-release versions when the user has a stable release version installed.

An option should be provided to enable these notifications. This should be accessible only via the advanced settings, since pre-releases are intended for advanced users.

Select stable version by default

The version menu in the "Library Manager" and "Boards Manager" views should default to having the newest non-pre-release version selected, if any are available.

Communicate implications of significant version installation or updates

When the user does an installation of an unstable version, display a confirmation dialog that explains the implications:

Warning: The library version 1.2.3-rc1 you have chosen to install indicates a pre-release version, which is intended only for beta testing.

Warning: The library version 0.1.2 you have chosen to install indicates the library is still undergoing initial development.

When the user does an update resulting in a major version bump, display a confirmation dialog that explains the implications:

Warning: The library version 2.0.0 you have chosen to update to is a major version increment from the previously installed version. This indicates there have been breaking changes to the API.

Describe the current behavior

The most efficient and user friendly way for an Arduino library or boards platform maintainer to distribute their project to users is via the Arduino Library Manager and Boards Manager systems.

This system might be used for distribution at any phase of the project development. These phases are communicated in a machine readable format via the version number, according to semver:

• Pre-release (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-PRERELEASE)
• Beta (0.MINOR.PATCH)
• Major version increment (indicates breaking API change)

Arduino IDE offers installation or updates of these libraries and boards platforms to the user in two ways:

• The "Library Manager" and "Boards Manager" views.
• Update notifications shown on startup (#1361)

Arduino IDE does not make any distinction between the development phases indicated by the library and platform release version numbers. The highest version is always offered for installation and update by default.

🙁 Users are prompted to install versions that are unstable or cause breaking changes.
🙁 Maintainers are unable to take advantage of the system for distributing their project to beta testers.

Link compiler errors so that when clicked they take the user to relevant file + line

I enjoy the new implementation of the Arduino Pro IDE, and it meets of the desires I had subconsciously, and did not know I was missing.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
After opening the app and getting over the initial excitement of the vscode implementation, I quickly got really confused as to where to go to ensure my libraries (especially custom ones) were installed. This has always been a powerful feature of the IDE (and why I currently do not use vscode for my arduino projects).

Describe the solution you'd like
Because I think it is way too early for any documentation, it would be great if there were an online portal where people can discuss difficulties they are having with migration. I realize may be too much of a NOOB to be expecting much out of Alpha software, but the entire interface has been revamped and as such, many Arduino IDE conventions are missing, or have been moved. Without knowing the expectation, it is difficult to know which (missing or moved) is true. This is true even with the classic view of the IDE.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have (and will continue) to poke around in the IDE to look for solutions. The immediate need for me is to understand where the workspace and libraries folders are.

Additional context
On Windows (I am on WIn10), the installer is a portable .exe and folder. Upon opening it, it opens my last used .ino, but there are errors (including the error, sketch (linting? I forget the actual language used) may not be accurate, because the Arduino Uno library is not installed). Yet, when I look to install it, it looks like it is installed. I do not know if this is a bug, or operator error because the interface looks so different (in a good way), I cannot tell how I was supposed to set up the environment (which I probably did not do correctly). I am fully aware that with new software the docs are frequently the last things written, but some help would be nice.

Thank you for creating the hardware and software. This is an amazing device, and the upgraded IDE is incredible already. As a side note, the inclusion of the source control module is superb.

Due to this: eclipse-theia/theia#7983

Users will be still able to open multiple browser windows (per sketches) for the same process, but they will NOT be able to start the Pro IDE twice.

I would really (really!) like to have a Button below in the Serial Monitor window 'Copy to Clipboard'. When having like 10.000 lines of continuous output it is nice look for specific moments of the run time, to see what my sketch did, measured, or decided. I really do not understand how this can be version 1.8.4 and not having such a Windows 1.0 function to be honest. Piece of cake to implement, loads of rewards. I understand that this works perfectly on a Mac. It does not work on my Windows 7 64 bit-system.
Using Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C does only give me a small fraction of the total output. With a running system producing output continously a button would make it easier to do that same operation.

custom boards definitions from hardware folder in sketches folder are not handled correctly.

Additional context
based on: electron/electron#16955

Describe the request

It would be great if in the serial monitor had an option to change the encoding used.

In my case, my sketches are using UTF-8, so print messages use that encoding. By default, serial monitor is using ISO-8859 (probably the default one of Windows 7), so those print messages are not shown properly:

Additional context

I've found other issues talking about this problem. Instead of detecting the encoding used, it might be easier if the user could select the charset he wants to use. The option (a selectable list with the most used character sets) may be put in the bottom right corner, left of the two existing selects (baud rate and line feed).

• OS: Mac High Sierra - Version: 10.13.6
• Arduino Pro version: 0.0.1

When trying to flash an ESP32 board, the esptool fails with the message that it couldn't find the .bin file.
With classic IDE it works, so I guess the pro IDE passes the path to the epstool in an other format. Maybe the mix of double backslashes and slashes is the problem?

Describe the request

Allow the font used in the "Serial Monitor" view to be customized

Describe the current behavior

Although the font used in the editor font can be configured in the advanced settings, the same is not true for the font used in the "Serial Monitor" view.

🙁 Users are not able to configure Serial Monitor to meet their individual requirements and preferences.

Describe the bug
problem with WiFi-Status constant.
see screenshot: arduino-pro-ide 0.0.5

But in Arduion 1.8.12 it is working fine

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: [macOS]
• Version [10.15.3]

When will Arduino Pro IDE support multiple languages other than C++?
Will Python be one of them?

Everyone loves Arduino because of its easy to use features but if it supports programming languages like Python, people would be mad after it.

Describe the bug
i can't see my all ports (virtual) even when i checked "show all ports"

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Select Other Board & Ports'
2. tick the 'show all ports'
3. See error

Add a button to Serial Monitor that resets the connected board.

Sometimes hardware Reset button unavailable (Arduino via RDP for example) so we need the ability to reset without reflashing the board.

Say you have a core with 3 versions: version 1 supports board A, version 2 supports board A and B, version 3 supports boards A, B and C. You have installed version 3. You open boards manager and it lists boards A and B from version 2. You select version 1 from the dropdown: you'll keep on seeing boards A and B.

Sync boards/lib manager so that they show the data from the selected version, not just from the latest

Describe the bug
After opening an IDE, it soon appears as OffLine in the status bar
After that, no menu works. Nor the Open

Currently the serial monitor just displays incremental content (with / wo scrolling).
There is no way to clear the screen from the arduino output in order to get a static screen.
There has been some requirements in the past to include ANSI functionality, but the discussion always stalled...
May I suggest to keep it simple and stupid? Please just provide a simple clear screen byte
(e.g. Serial.write (12); // ASCII Form Feed to clear the screen).
That simple improvement could make static screens and menues doable on the serial monitor.

n.b. IMHO using an external ANSI terminal is not in the philosopy of the Arduino IDE.
That is already something for freaks, needs external software, and the need to release the serial connection upon compiling is a pain.

Describe the bug

Breakpoints defined on local libraries are not considered.

To Reproduce

Very basic example with 3 files: Blink.ino, LocalLibrary.h, LocalLibrary.cpp
Two breakpoints defined: one in Blink.ino, another in LocalLibrary.cpp

Expected behavior

Breakpoints defined on local library LocalLibrary.cpp should be considered.

Actually, all the files are duplicated under a temporary folder, /private/var/folders/wn/n7qqb8ss0k3bvpqwfcdwp_7r0000gn/T/arduino-sketch-7CD787D3756B222A4A3572C34ED19F79/sketch/

The breakpoint on Blink.ino is kept, but not the breakpoint on LocalLibrary.cpp.

Workaround

Launch the debugging session.
Define the breakpoint on the local library again.

I'm not sure if it is a bug or if it is just not implemented yet, but it seems I cannot select any network ports. It would be great if this was supported since I regularly update some of my devices OTA.
