ESP32 custom build fails

[Spoff]

Hello! I just bougt a M5Stack core to play around with and I saw the display controller is an ILI9341 available from an "non standard" plugin. So naturally I want to build a custom image with it included, thing is, I can't build ESP32 images anymore. I keep getting this "ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)". Esp8266 images buld just fine, Here's the complete message:

Generating factory bin for genuine esp units
*** [.pio\build\custom_ESP32_4M316k\ESP_Easy_mega_20201213_custom_ESP32_4M316k.bin] ValueError : too many values to unpack (expected 2)

ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)

Have I missed something? I tried updating everything... Thanks.
Awesome firmware by the way, became a patreon a few weeks ago

Have you installed all Python packages in your virtualenv as mentioned in the requirements.txt file?
So in your IDE (VS code for example) you open the terminal and in there you run:

Code: Select all

pip install -r requirements.txt

Also what Python version do you have?

And what have you changed for your special build?
Custom.h or the Python file?

[Spoff]

I indeed use VScode, i'm not used to python and PIO at all so it may be a dumb mistake. I ran the requirement command and tried to build again and got the exact same error. I had Python 2.6 and 2.7 before and now I uninstalled them and installed a fresh copy of Python 3.8.2. I changed custom.h and I use the custom_ESP32_4M316k environment.

in custom.h I have the following plugins defined:
P001, P004, P015, P025, P026, P028, P037, P053, P068, P074, P081, P082, P083, P090, P094, P095, P097, P098
The following controllers are defined:
C005, C008, C011, C013, C018, C019

All ESP32 builds are failing at the factory.bin step not just the custom one.

[TD-er]

Can you attach the Custom.h file (remove any passwords if you set them) so I can test here

[Spoff]

Sure! here it is:

Code: Select all

#ifndef ESPEASY_CUSTOM_H
#define ESPEASY_CUSTOM_H

/*
    To modify the stock configuration without changing the EspEasy.ino file :

    1) rename this file to "Custom.h" (It is ignored by Git)
    2) define your own settings below
    3) define USE_CUSTOM_H as a build flags. ie : export PLATFORMIO_BUILD_FLAGS="'-DUSE_CUSTOM_H'"
 */


/*

   Your Own Default Settings
 #######################################################################################################

    You can basically ovveride ALL macro defined in ESPEasy.ino.
    Don't forget to first #undef each existing #define that you add below.
    But since this Custom.h is included before other defines are made, you don't have to undef a lot of defines.

    Here are some examples:

I tested with this Config.h (and please remove this _Custom.h file and base it on Custom-sample.h) and it builds just fine.

So it must have something to do with the installed packages in your Python virtual environment.

The steps to take:
- Make sure to run Python 3.8
- uninstall PlatformIO from the IDE (to make sure no old left-over config is left to interfere)
- Restart PC (Just to be sure)
- Start VS code
- install PlatformIO
- Open ESPEasy repo
- open terminal in VS code
- run "pip install -r requirements.txt"

If you can't run the last command directly from the prompt without adding a path, then you opened the ESPEasy repo at the wrong level

I really suspect you're not using Python3.x but still use Python 2.x

[Spoff]

Well you're having scratching my head a lot here! I did what you suggested without success I found some python 2.7 remnants that I deleted, I uninstalled VScode, tracked and deleted its remants and platformIO (whew!) rebooted, reinstalled to have the exact same result.

Now now... I uninstalled Python 3.8 from my machine tried to build like that and... same error. Clearly I don't understand how this works, does platformIO have its own Python runtime? How can I update it? When I do "update-all" I have this:

What do you get when opening a terminal and checking the Python version?

For example:

Code: Select all

PS C:\GitHub\TD-er\ESPEasy> python --version
Python 3.7.7

And one other thing I just thought of while writing this reply....
Do you have any space in the path where you have located your code?

[Spoff]

I reinstalled Python and I get this:

PS F:\SPG-ING\ESPEasy> python --version
Python 3.9.1

I have 825GB space left in that drive.

[TD-er]

And no space in the path anymore?
Still not working?
Previous errors you gave showed a path with a space in them.

[Spoff]

Indeed I suspected the space in the path so I changed it and still have the error. I installed VS and PIO on another machine and it build fine (Python 3.7.7). I'm not sure what to try anymore, I guess I'll try uninstalling everything I can related to VScode and install everything again. I will also try moving the repo to my main drive.

EDIT: I just noted that you meant space as a character and not as available space in the drive in your previous posts, my bad

[TD-er]

Yep, the error suggests a wrong amount of parameters and a space is generally used as a parameter-separator

[Spoff]

It compiles! Yay! I removed space characters, the "-" and I uninstalled python 3.9 again. Python --version shows 3.7.7. Not sure what from all this did the trick but now I have to make this plugin work with the 2" M5Stack display

Thanks!

[TD-er]

Looking forward to the PR

...now I have to make this plugin work with the 2" M5Stack display...

The display seems to be an ILI9342, a close relative to the already supported ILI9341 but with some subtile differences. A lot of useful info can be found here: https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=473885.0 (but you may need to include the Adafruit ILI9341 library in the project to include those (quite useful, IMHO, M5 Stack is pretty popular) adjustments.
