Howto use dedicated stage version

[to-scho]

Is there a way to install and select a dedicated commit# version from git? I want to use 2.4.0-RC1 but not floating latest git version. Regards Tobias

same problem here @ivankravets , the git version bumped to rc2 which breaks a lot of stuff. So Staging is currently broken, can we somehow fix to a specific commit?

[ivankravets]

@universam1 See https://travis-ci.org/esp8266/Arduino

How to reproduce your issue?

[universam1]

thanks @ivankravets here is my log output https://travis-ci.org/universam1/iSpindel

Currently ESPAsync is not compatible with 2.4 RC2, so my question is can we pin the stage to a commit like RC1 as a known good state?

The point is, since staging is actually development branch of Arduino, these things will happen over and over again. Thats why these issues are opened. Think there is no way around having this option.

Looks like I have to move away from PIO @ivankravets as building is broken now for a longer time. There are a number of open issues with https://github.com./me-no-dev/ESPAsyncTCP being outdated but important and we can't pin to a commit with PIO. So the only solution is using Arduino IDE again, too bad ...

[ivankravets]

Could you try to use

lib_deps =
  https://github.com./me-no-dev/ESPAsyncTCP.git

Does it work with the development version?

[ivankravets]

@me-no-dev could you publish a new release of https://github.com./me-no-dev/ESPAsyncTCP ?

Thanks!

@ivankravets This actually untied the knot, I'm extremly happy! 😄
Although it does not solve the original request, I can live with it for now and hope this does not return!

Thank you alot!

I'm really glad to see that a specific problem has been solved, nonetheless I would be very keen to know if there is a solution to the broader, original question:

Is it possible to use a specific staging version (like RC1) ?

Many thanks in advance!

[ivankravets]

@me-no-dev Thanks a lot!

@pfabri it is possible

1. Fork https://github.com./platformio/platform-espressif8266
2. Checkout to feature/stage branch
3. Edit this line and replace something with this "version": "https://github.com./esp8266/Arduino.git#TAG", where TAG can be commit, branch or tag.

For example,

• "version": "https://github.com./esp8266/Arduino.git#e68e3402fac85af65bf28473b4fa8dd8e0341763"

Now in your platformio.ini use

[env:...]
platform = https://github.com./MyUserName/platform-espressif8266.git#feature/stage

[ivankravets]

I forgot, now in your platformio.ini use

[env:...]
platform = https://github.com./MyUserName/platform-espressif8266.git#feature/stage

@ivankravets
That's really great, (and quick!) thank you for your help.

Why is this so hard? Surely there is an easier way to do this ?
Can we not just checkout any commit, and not have it overwritten by build process or something, or specify framework directory in platformio.ini

[pr8x]

So I tried the following:

platform = https://github.com./platformio/platform-espressif8266.git#feature/stage

But it won't run.

Unknown development platform 'espressif8266_stage'

For me, I need one more step:
In terminal, run pio update

@me-no-dev Thanks a lot!
