Could you reproduce this issue?

I'm getting the same error message, started happening after last update. When I run pio run it complains about a library I have in my /lib folder. Here is the entire log:

If I run pio update, I'm able to build normally, but I get the following warning:

Warning! Could not find the package with 'lib/NTPClient' requirements for your system 'windows_amd64'

But after that, if I try to build again, it fails again with the same log as above. Everything was building normally before the last PlatformIO update to version 3.3.0.

[ivankravets]

What is your platformio.ini?

[Majubs]

Here, I'm using Atom btw

[env:nodemcuv2]
platform = espressif8266
framework = arduino
board = nodemcuv2
board_build.filesystem = littlefs

monitor_speed = 115200

build_flags =
  !python print_git_rev.py
  -I src/file_system
  -I src/wireless
  -I src/protocols
  -I src/buffer
  -I src/platform
  -I src/helpers

lib_deps =
  [email protected]
  [email protected]
  NTPClient=lib/NTPClient
  ESP8266Ping=lib/ESP8266Ping

extra_scripts = upload_fw_info.py

[ivankravets]

Please open PlatformIO CLI and type pio upgrade --dev. Does it work now?

NTPClient=lib/NTPClient

@Majubs , this is wrong declaration. See valid formats https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/core/userguide/lib/cmd_install.html

[Majubs]

It seems to be building fine now 😃 Thanks!

Altough I'm still getting the warning about the libs. I made some modifications to the NTPClient Arduino library, that's why I placed in /lib folder and added the NTPClient=lib/NTPClient to platform.ini. Same with ESP8266Ping. It always worked fine this way.

I'm not sure what I need to do to get rid of the warning. Do I need to install them (as explained in the linked docs) even if I'm not using the version from Arduino? Or is it something else?

[ivankravets]

Just remove

  NTPClient=lib/NTPClient
  ESP8266Ping=lib/ESP8266Ping

You re-install libs twice. They are already in your lib folder.

[Majubs]

Oh, ok. Dropped the lines in platform.ini and it seems to be working fine. I thought that it would use the Arduino version of the libraries without it, but I guess platformio prioritizes the /lib folder when searching for libs 😁

Thanks for the help!

@ivankravets Sorry for not getting back to you earlier, but after upgrading to the dev build of PlatformIO, the issue with updating platforms is resolved; I was able to upgrade framework-arduino-lpc176x from 0.2.4 to 0.2.5
