V5.0 testing - Fresh install on Windows gives Error: Program "make" not found in PATH

[ArminJo]

A fresh Windows install of V5 results in:

10:43:03 **** Clean-only build of configuration Release for project JK-BMSToPylontechCAN_MightyCore ****
make clean 
Cannot run program "make": Launching failed

Error: Program "make" not found in PATH

typing make on the Windows CMD prompt also results in:

Der Befehl "make" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.

so this is consistent 😀 .

On my 4.4.3 Windows installations on the same PC it runs seamlessly with:

10:56:00 **** Clean-only build of configuration Release for project JK-BMSToPylontechCAN_MightyCore ****
"E:\\Elektro\\Sloeber\\arduinoPlugin\\tools\\make\\make" clean 

Therefore I can not test the 5.0 😢

I think it is strange that in your test the clean in a freshly installed V5 uses make (= external make builder)
The default builder in V5 is the internal builder and there the clean works
Are you testing with a freshly installed V5 with a V5 created project?

[jantje]

I just tried here both the internal builder and the external make builder use the same clean method which is internal (read nothing to be seen on the console) and simply removes all the content from the bin/[configname] folder
Not sure why the clean on your freshly installed V5 tries to use make to clean.

When investigating I found that menu->project->clean does weird things.
I usually go right click project clean which works fine.
But I still haven't found a way to trigger make clean (which is how V5 is supposed to work)

OK newly created projects work for me, but old ones are not migrated.

Printing size "raw Result" results in:

Printing size:: test51.size
"E:\Sloeber5\arduinoPlugin\packages\arduino\tools\avr-gcc\7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino7/bin/avr-size" -A "E:\WORKSPACE_SLOEBER5\test51\bin\Release/test51.elf"
E:\WORKSPACE_SLOEBER5\test51\bin\Release/test51.elf  :

"AVR Alternative" also works, but "Arduino Way" (under Windows) results in:

Printing size:: test51.size
wsl -- "E:\Sloeber5\arduinoPlugin\packages\arduino\tools\avr-gcc\7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino7/bin/avr-size" -A "E:\WORKSPACE_SLOEBER5\test51\bin\Release/test51.elf" | "E:\Sloeber5\arduinoPlugin\tools\awk\awk" -f size.awk

There is no auto migration.
Opening project properties->sloeber apply close may work

[ArminJo]

I now always get this error if I want to open ESP32 project properties->sloeber. On new as well as on old ESP32 projects.

After Clicking OK I see:

It gives no error for new AVR projects but for old AVR ones I see the same error and after clicking OK I see:

or

So I give up testing Sloeber5 for now, since only new AVR Projects seems to work for me 😞 .

[jantje]

Migration of projects is not going to work. If there is no easy way to get it to work I will have to write some conversion code.
For now please test with projects created in v5.

Can you zip up the V5 created ESP32 project so I can take a look?

[ArminJo]

Here is the Zip:
testESP32_C3.zip

[jantje]

Seems there is a null case on my system after importing the project.
Once that one is fixed all worked "as expected"
"as expected" in this case means that the build reported the error
#error This library does not work with ESP32 core 3.x. Please use ESP 2.0.17 core. You are kindly invited to port and document the code to 3.x, to fix this problem!
I also noted other build errors in esp32 related to missing "
I'm looking into it

[jantje]

Seems the quoting issue does not happen in an empty sketch with the board in the provided zip.
It also didn't happen in my testing.
Seems I will have to wait until someone reports something.

This seems to be fixed 😀 Thanks!

The error: Error: Program "make" not found in PATH still happens, when opening an old 4.3.3 configuration.
Is there any plan to provide a configuration migration scrip or functionality?

I want V5 to work properly before looking at migration.
That is because migration is hard and migrating to a moving target is even harder.
