exported PORT is not supplied to docker container? about willow HOT 6 CLOSED

I still have this issue. I see it on my mac when i use ls /dev/cu.*. But after I set it and want to flash it I get this error:
A fatal error occurred: Could not open /dev/cu.usbmodem14201, the port doesn't exist
Do I have to change something?

Thanks for checking it out! Are you trying to flash from inside the container, or outside on the host? We don't currently have a specific error message to tell the user the port doesn't and will never exist inside our container. I will introduce a specific check for this and make the error message clearer.

Ah, thank you.
I didnt get that I had to flash from outside the container.
Unfortunately flashing doesnt work. esptool: error: argument --chip/-c: invalid choice: 'esp32s3' (choose from 'auto', 'esp8266', 'esp32')
But I think this is out of scope of this issue.

I will make the documentation and error messages clearer. If you'd like to make a new issue for your new error we can work it there, or I can offer the quick (potential) fix of:

On the host:

rm -rf venv
./utils.sh flash

from willow.

I tried your command and the venv got set up again. But I still get the same error

Appreciate your patience on this! If you could make a new issue please we can work through this there.

Thank you so much!
