https://github.com/wpilibsuite/WPILibInstaller/blob/master/files/wpilib-256.ico currently has a white background instead of transparency. This makes the desktop shortcuts look tacky. It should be updated with the fixed .ico file in the branding repo.

The WPILib openjdk windows builds have some SSL issues, whereas the adopt openjdk builds work just fine. Theyre free to use and redistribute.

The installer inside the zip file of the 64bit Windows installer (WPILibInstaller_Windows64-2019.3.2.zip) is named WPILibInstaller_Full-Windows64-2019.1.1.exe. I did not try to install it using the installer so I don't know which version really gets installed.

Shuffleboard and Smatdashboard icons are created when installation in finished, even if I chose not to install them in the installer.

I installed the program on a stationary PC just for programming, so I don't need them.

I guess that the VS Code is also always created, even if one just wants to install Shuffleboard and Smartdashboard?

I suppose that the desired behavior would be to only create shortcuts to programs that were installed.

Thanks!

The line endings are in dos format on ToolsUpdater.sh on mac after decompressing and untaring the file. dos2unix is not available on macs by default. Also, realpath is missing. Rumor is we're considering switching to python or ruby. The installed versions with Mojave are:

python 2.7 (installed by default and you can get 3 with homebrew)
and ruby 2.3.7

Copied from original issue: wpilibsuite/vscode-wpilib#116

Standard to do on linux.

Likely because the extraction occurs on windows.

So I am just trying to install the Smart Dashboard and Shuffle Board from the WPILib Suite. I get the desktop shortcuts but the frc2019/tools folder does not have the vbs files.

I checked Java/JDK and Tools on the install program. Is that all I need?

I have a Windows 10 64bit Dell computer

After installing, on Windows the VS Code integrated terminal does not have the correct Java JDK in the path. The JAVA_HOME is set correctly, but running java -version fails to execute the correct java.exe.

There is a subtle error in settings.json:

  "terminal.integrated.env.windows": {
    "JAVA_HOME": "C:\\Users\\Public\\frc2019\\jdk",
    "PATH": "C:\\Users\\Public\\frc2019\\jdk\\bin:${env:PATH}"
  }

On Windows, the separator for PATH entries is semicolon (;), but a colon (:) is placed between the JDK bin directory and ${env:PATH}. Changing the semicolon to a colon fixes the issue.

  "terminal.integrated.env.windows": {
    "JAVA_HOME": "C:\\Users\\Public\\frc2019\\jdk",
    "PATH": "C:\\Users\\Public\\frc2019\\jdk\\bin;${env:PATH}"
  }

I think the defect is on line 179 of this file: https://github.com/wpilibsuite/WPILibInstaller/blob/master/DotNet/WPILibInstaller/MainForm.cs

The json files are there, but not the maven deps

If there is not internet connection and I push the button for "Select/Download VS Code" and then the "Download" button, I get an Unhandled exception dialog, saying "The remote name could not be resolved for vscode-update.asurewebsites.net".

OK, it's easy to figure out why I'm getting this error dialog, but maybe you should put up a different message.

The split can be confusing, and the space savings are not super great. In addition, maybe we need a mid season update with a C++ compiler or JDK update.

We should make the C++ and Java compilers have a smarter overwrite as well.

I think its because of version checks, I'll see.

The string after the + needs to be ;, not :

Either need to figure out how to actually include a manifest, or we just need to rename the installer to not include "Installer" or "Setup"

Not sure this is 100% possible, but I will try.

When attempting to launch the "FRC Developer Command Prompt 2019", I get a complaint that frcvars.bat isn't found. Per the installation, the file gets renamed to frcvars2019.bat.

Hi!
I recently installed the 2019 WPILib libraries on a Windows 64bit machine. I installed it using a non-admin account. For some reason, I was not able to find any shortcuts on the desktop. I also tried searching for the software in the start menu but with no success.
When I logged in using the admin account, all the shortcuts were there on the desktop.

P.S. It happened twice, on both a Windows 10 and a Windows 7 machine.

Thanks!

Not 100% sure this will be possible, but should be attempted.

These are required to be moved to a special folder, and anyone using these zips will not have these files copied. We should have a script to do this easily.

The JDK is installed to C:\Users\Public\wpilib\2019\jdk-11.0.4+11, but VS Code expects it at C:\Users\Public\wpilib\2019\jdk

Extends #84

I don't remember if I did this correctly or not, and I want to ensure I did.

That way its possible to get the standalone tool without installing visual studio.

If you start downloading VSCode and then close the download pop-up window, the file lock is still held and a subsequent attempt to download VSCode without restarting the installer will throw a "cannot access the file" exception.

The Roborio toolchain is installed to C:\Users\Public\wpilib\2019\frc2020\roborio but the environment variable is set to C:\Users\Public\wpilib\2019\roborio

Windows comes installed with the tools accessible using desktop shortcuts.
It would be nice in the 2021 installer to add the shortcuts to ~/.local/share/applications/frc so that they can be run from most "start menu" (equivalents).

2019.1.1 is not > 2019.1.1-beta-4, which it needs to be.

We used .NET 4.0 to ensure this wasn't a problem, so one of the later added dependencies must have caused this. We need to ensure the installer works on a base Windows 7 install.

When installing with the installer, with anything in the frcXXXX using the JVM is in use, VSCode will fail. Selecting continue results in no progress on the progress bar.

This would replace #107.

As requested by @ThadHouse.

Would make updating CSA-USB-Tool a lot easier.

In case they're still running.

If I run the WPILib Installer in Windows Sandbox, the bottom of the screen gets cut off. This seems to be dependent on screen resolution.

It takes almost 10 seconds on a reasonably fast (3Ghz I7, SSD) machine for the auth dialog to appear. During this time it is easy to click the button multiple times, leading to multiple auth dialogs and some confusion.

At the very least disable the buttons after clicking to prevent the confusion -- pretty much every one of our students did this.

Not a major issue.

When you search documentation (by opening ~/frc2019/documentation/java/index.html in Chrome on a mac), you get (for example searching on Victor):
file:///Users/xxxxxxx/frc2019/documentation/java/undefined/edu/wpi/first/wpilibj/Victor.html

You should get:
file:///Users/xxxxxxx/frc2019/documentation/java/edu/wpi/first/wpilibj/Victor.html

Obviously a minor problem, but still a pain....

With each year being under wpilib/xxxx/, teams will probably want to remove old years installations at some point and deleting directories is menial.

That way it's easier for users to know they have the right one.

With some tricks on the build side, this can solve the wpilib debugging issue on windows by making the sources match up.
