module.json schema is too simplistic about micropython-stubber HOT 6 CLOSED

from micropython-stubber.

@BradenM ,

I have implemented the above change in the json format starting with version 1.2.0
i think that should improve the parsing as formally a json array is un-ordered so skipping the first 2 nodes was a bit of a hack.

Could you take a look at commit cb0779b and let me know if that works for you ?

I've merged the schema to main.

i agree that all the different firmware options make it hard to find the capabilities of the language , and of the included optional modules; especially as these modules also can/are sometimes changed for the specific firmware.

Looks good to me. Definitely agree with getting rid of the array, and the firmware specs should be considerably more uniform and easier to parse now.

I am not and won't be home where I can test this out on some more devices/firmware for the rest of this week, but I will definitely give it a more detailed look when I get back.

@Josverl,

Was finally able to check this out properly. Definitely a lot more useful, but I am still struggling with the issue of being able to determine exactly what branch of micropython a device is using.

I am trying to avoid hard coding it, as according to awesome-micropython, there are over 2000 of 'em. So far I haven't been able to come up with anything better than cross-referencing the version number against the tags/ports from a list of micropython git repos (See this and its output). Not exactly a perfect approach.

For micropy-cli, the benefit of knowing the exact firmware would make it pretty easy to determine which (firmware) frozen modules to retrieve and source in a project. I may just be over complicating this haha, but do you happen to have any ideas? Thanks.

@Josverl,

For now this schema works great, I have gone ahead and integrated it into micropy-cli. I have pushed tackling firmware resolution to a later date, so when you have the time do you mind removing the stubber.modules debug line and merging into master?

Thanks for your help!
