Can't build (custom) web interface about esp8266-iot-framework HOT 11 CLOSED

you did run the npm ci command to install all the correct modules?

Normally npm run build would create this index.html.gz file. When I comment the last two lines of webpack.config.js to prevent deletion of the build artefacts, I get a dist folder with the files bundle.js, bundle.js.gz and index.html.gz. The reason this file is created in a gzipped version is because of the CompressionPlugin() in the webpack config.

Do you get any files in your dist folder at all? And how does your command line output look preceding the error message?

Thanks for the speedy response, most appreciated.
I have run npm ci, and it gave an error I corrected using the suggested --legacy-peer-deps.

Here's the output from npm ci

The dist directory is empty. Doing webby stuff is a console log line I added to webpack.config.js on line 103 to check the production html code stuff is really running.

Many thanks for any insights you can give!

Can you remove the node_modules folder, and retry with npm install instead of npm ci?

from esp8266-iot-framework.

I removed node_modules, and re-ran as above - legacy flag required again, same output as above.

I switched to a Ubuntu machine, and tried to compile one of the examples - it works, but there is an error from Sconscript:

Missing Sconcript .pio/libdeps/nodemcu2v/ESP8266 IoT Framework/build/preBuild.py

And indeed, the build directory is missing, along with docs -- platformio doesn't seem to install them. This is with vscode 1.50.1 and platformio 2.1.3

So I think there's something wrong with the brew/npm environment on the Mac, and platformio behaves differently between mac and linux platforms resulting in a broken build under linux? I will experiment further with the linux environment to see if I can hack a build that correctly applies preBuild.py

from esp8266-iot-framework.

Ha! I think I have made some progress. The root cause of the problem may lie in the use of spaces within the library name "ESP8266 IoT Framework". Creating a symbolic link from ESP8266 IoT Framework to ESP8266_IoT_Framework and adding the build flag DPROJECT_DIR=/home/patrick/Documents/Arduino/iot_test2/.pio/libdeps/nodemcuv2/ESP8266_IoT_Framework/build to platformio.ini gets significantly further in the build process, failing with:

ERROR in Entry module not found: Error: Can't resolve './src' in '/home/patrick/Documents/Arduino/iot_test2/.pio/libdeps/nodemcuv2/ESP8266 IoT Framework'

which does of course exist, but needs presumably to be correctly escaped to handle the spaces. Is that a major re-factor?

from esp8266-iot-framework.

Sorry, for all the issues you are facing, and thanks for your patience. To make sure it is due to the space in the library name:

Can you try to:

1. Clone this repository to your computer
2. Take one of the example .c files and add it to the src folder
3. Do a build

In this case you use the project as a main project, and not as a platformio library. This should remove the spaces in your path. There is also work ongoing to make this library compatible with the ESP32 after which a name change will be needed anyway. At this point I will also remove the spaces from the name if this indeed causes the issue on mac :).

As for you linux machine. If your platformio version is really 2.1.3 you should upgrade, that seems like quite an old version. Hopefully this will resolve the missing library folders.

from esp8266-iot-framework.

Success - under Ubuntu:

1. Create empty VScode platformio project
2. cd lib
3. git clone https://github.com/maakbaas/esp8266-iot-framework.git
4. cd esp8266-iot-framework
5. npm ci
6. cd .. (back to lib dir again) - add dependencies
7. git clone https://github.com/me-no-dev/ESPAsyncWebServer.git
8. git clone https://github.com/me-no-dev/ESPAsyncTCP.git
9. git clone https://github.com/bblanchon/ArduinoJson.git
10. cp esp8266-iot-framework/examples/helloWorld.cpp ../../../src
11. Verify helloWorld build succeeds
12. To customise web config, add iot_config.json to src directory and add
    build_flags = -DCONFIG_PATH=src/iot_config.json -DREBUILD_HTML
    to platformio.ini and rebuild should proceed without error

PS. Given that .pio isn't under source control by default, and github libraries do come and go over time, I think this method is to be preferred over the use of lib_deps because the code can be rebuilt from just the local git repo if required?

Feel free to reuse any of above as you may wish, many thanks for the help.

from esp8266-iot-framework.

Glad that you got it working. Although in this way you lose some of the convenience benefits of PlatformIO of course ;).

PlatformIO is actually there to do the configuration management, but indeed with your method you have everything fully local and you can employ your own strategies for managing the libraries.

I ran into this same issue, maybe something changes in the way PlatformIO downloads dependencies. I will reopen this issue and investigate.
