command 'picowgo.listCommands' not found about micropico HOT 33 CLOSED

@ollar
Have you run "Pico-W-Go > Configure project" in the project folder you opened in VS Code first?

from micropico.

I have no idea what could be the problem here. I hope that the extension will work for you after the next updates. I will come back to this problem. But anyway thanks for reporting this error.

from micropico.

I have the same problem. Just installed the extension in VS Code and no Pico-Go-W commands work:

• Command 'Pico-W-Go > Configure project' resulted in an error (command 'picowgo.initialise' not found)

@GuybrushThreepwood75 and @LGH great news should be fixed now with version 2.0.0+

Can you check this on your machines please?

Just as info, the reason for this error should be that the extension had not included native bindings for VS Code 1.71.0 yet.

After 7 days of no response, I will mark this issue as closed. If the issue has not been resolved, feel free to reopen it.

Version: 1.71.2

command 'picowgo.connect' not found

seems the problem is still actual

from micropico.

Ok, but can you please provide some more information like: Your OS and it's version, do you use the current version of the extension, do you have Python 3.9+ installed....

from micropico.

Sorry, I've been away for work so I couldn't report back (only running this on my personal laptop).

Issue still persists.

Python3.9 (3.9.13) and 3.10 both installed using Homebrew and available in /usr/local/bin/ (python3 linked to 3.10.6). pico-w-go v2.0.7, MacOS 12.6 (Intel), VS Code as per below.

from micropico.

Ok, tanks. I currently don't have a MacOS machine available for testting but i assume that the problem is caused how to python installations are installed but it's juts a guess. Can you please leave your system as it is now and reproduce the error and than copy the part which concerns "Pico-W-Go" from the "Terminal > output > (Select something with "(Extensionhost)")" and paste it here.

from micropico.

Sorry, I've been away for work so I couldn't report back (only running this on my personal laptop).

No problem, thanks for the response, but i've also ment @ollar.

from micropico.

If I select the Output window and "Log (Extension host)", there is nothing related to Pico-W-Go there. Did I misinterpret what you wanted us to do?

from micropico.

If you press Ctrl+F or the macos alternative of it inside the "Log (Extension host)" tab and type "picowgo" and it doesn't find anything then it looks like the extension is not installed. Try to uninstall it and the restart VS Code, install it again. Open VS Code, open a folder and run the "Pico-W-Go > Configure project" VS Code command inside the new project.

from micropico.

I have the same problem - Pi 400 running PiOS latest Python 3.92
Clean install of PiOs Not other additional software installed.
Fresh install of VS Code
Installation of all extensions listed in readme.
Install Pico-W-go
set up hello.py with hello world
try "Pico-W-Go > Configure project"
and get command picowgo intialise not found
I am connecting via remote desktop - now tried a using the Pi 400 directly and get the same result.

from micropico.

@Drmikej Ok, sad to here that you have problems with the extension. Would you like to give me some debuging output from the terminal -> dropdown -> ... extension host or sth like that -> there should be something concerning picowgo.

from micropico.

The only error I can find is:
workbench.desktop.main.js:2297 Activating extension 'paulober.pico-w-go' failed: No native build was found for platform=linux arch=arm runtime=electron abi=106 uv=1 armv=default libc=glibc node=16.14.2 electron=19.0.17
loaded from: /home/rdpuser/.vscode/extensions/paulober.pico-w-go-2.0.5/node_modules/@serialport/bindings-cpp

Also I'm the coauthor of https://www.amazon.com/dp/1871962692 and harry and I are working on the update for the PicoW. The first edition used PicoGo and this second edition is planning to use Pico-W-Go. If we can't get it to work on the Pi 400 we will probably drop VS Code from the edition. So we are keen to help but know little about VS Code extensions.

from micropico.

And just found the error when trying to a configure:

from micropico.

@Drmikej I found the issue. I'll send the details later. As for now you can try to install the newest vsix package from the github releases and see if it works if you want.

from micropico.

Just tried pico-w-go-2.1.2.vsix
same error - paulober.pico-w-go' failed: No native build was found for platform=linux
Sorry :-(

from micropico.

Ok, the reason why it's not running is because support for linux-arm has been droped for this extension and it cannot start on your platform because the extension doesn't provide native build for this platform currently. If you setup your Raspberry Pi with the new 64-bit Raspbian it should work as the extension supports linux-arm64.

from micropico.

That isn't good news - there are a lot of 32 bit Raspbian installations after all its the default.
How difficult would it be to add 32 bit support?
The original pico-go supported it.

from micropico.

I can confirm that it does work on PiOS 64.
On reflection I'm not sure that 32-bit support is essential as the move to 64-bit as the default has to be sometime soon.
If it was easy to add then it is worth doing as the majority of Pi installations are 32-bit at the moment but I don't think its a deal breaker given how easy it is to change to PiOS 64 - I think adding a note to the effect that you have to use PiOS 64 is a good and cheap idea :-) This is what it is planned to say in the new edition of the book.
PS if you would like a copy - no problem

from micropico.

@Drmikej So i looked some things up and as i know the RBPI4 and 400 uses a armv8 based CPU and the extension only includes binaries for armv6 and armv7 or the 64 arch equivalent. But in the 32-bit mode i thought Raspbian is running in armv7 compatibility mode so it can run armv7 binaries. You can see all included prebuilds here: https://serialport.io/docs/guide-platform-support#supported-platforms-and-architectures You can find the arch of your 32-bit RBPI here: lscpu | grep "Architecture" or uname -m

The reason why pico-go supported the 32-bit RBPI is that the developer generated binaries for each VS Code -Electron - Node- OS - Arch combo when a new one released. With version v2.1.0 i moved over to the prebuild one to avoid crashes when VS Code has a new updated and so on... So the reason why your v2.0.5 version of this ext isn't running on your pi is because it doesn't include binaries compatible with the newest VS Code version.
If there are many users out there how run on RBPI 4 in 32-bit mode i can try to generate custom bindings for this platform but it will come with the cost of the things i mentioned above (an update for each VS Code update).

Good idea, I might include a note in the readme for Raspberry Pi users as I get the impression that many Pico developers use an RBPI 4 or 400 for development.
Which book are you talking about?

from micropico.

I'm not sure I follow because I'm not familiar with VS Code extensions. Adding the note seems like the best solution as I have been happy using the 64 bit OS with Pico-W-Go.

@Drmikej I added a note in the wiki and the README shows for linux only support for x64 and arm64.
Sounds great, what problem do you still have with the extension on the Pi 400 as i thought the info about the 64-bit os solved your issue?

from micropico.

Making the switch to PiOS 64 solves all problems - but most users think that an arm64 extension will work on PiOS 32 - I think its all solved now.

from micropico.

@Drmikej Ok, glad to hear. I'm looking forward to seeing the expansion referenced in a book. If there are any problems, please feel free to create an issue.

from micropico.

Hi, so if I understand it correctly support for 32bit arm OS has been dropped forever?
Is it too complicated to provide step by step how to build extension at home for 32bit use? For me, currently, switching to 64bit is not an option, unfortunately.

from micropico.

@Nabla128k Yes, i think so.
Details on how to generate native bindings for the Raspberry Pi OS 32-bit i refer to this section of the serialport.io documentation: https://serialport.io/docs/guide-installation#compilation-on-unsupported-systems

Also i don't understand why the extension is not running on the Raspberry Pi 4 with RBPI OS 32-bit as serialport includes prebuilds for linux armv6 and armv7 so it should run.

from micropico.

@Nabla128k and @Drmikej Version v2.1.3 added support for armv7 (aka Raspberry Pi OS 32-bit support on Raspberry Pi 3b+ or 4b).

from micropico.

Thanks!
I just tried it and it all seems to work on Pi OS 32 and I will change what the book says to indicate this.
Excellent work and much appreciated :-)

from micropico.

@paulober sorry, github did not mentioned me in any way :(

Have you run "Pico-W-Go > Configure project" in the project folder you opened in VS Code first?

that helped me, and now vs-code can see the board and the plugin can connect to it.
Thanks a lot!

from micropico.

I had the same Error and the reason was, that although I reinstalled vscode, another pico extension still was installed which somehow interfered with the new one.
