Everything was fine with

platform = https://github.com/pioarduino/platform-espressif32/releases/download/54.03.20/platform-espressif32.zip

but breaks with newer versions

Nearly no relevant Infos. Which OS, what have been tried? platformio.ini? Project example?

[ToyboxZach]

I can generate a smaller project if you have some details on what could cause this.

I do say it is on Windows.

; PlatformIO Project Configuration File
;
;   Build options: build flags, source filter
;   Upload options: custom upload port, speed and extra flags
;   Library options: dependencies, extra library storages
;   Advanced options: extra scripting
;
; Please visit documentation for the other options and examples
; https://docs.platformio.org/page/projectconf.html

[platformio]
include_dir = src
boards_dir = boards

[env]
; monitor_filters = default, esp32_exception_decoder, colorize
monitor_raw = yes
platform = https://github.com/pioarduino/platform-espressif32/releases/download/55.03.30-1/platform-espressif32.zip
framework = arduino, espidf

[env:board]
board = esp32dev
upload_speed = 460800

There error is early enough that it doesn't really matter what is in my platformio other than that platform item, so I didn't feel it was relevant

[Jason2866]

All examples do work in CI with Linux, Windows and MacOS. There is no general issue.
You have to provide a setup which shows a problem. Without a reproducable issue nothing can be done.

[ToyboxZach]

Ok are there any hints on how to reproduce this?

This is literally the minimum set up I can think of and it doesn't work, I don't know how to make this reproducible or debug this any further, it is just not finding this package.json and is unable to build

What setup has changed between these two versions? Am I even opening a bug in the right place?

I have exhausted all possible knowledge I have on this, and something is wrong after updating this.

Can you share where the test run information is, so I can figure out why my set up may be different?

[ToyboxZach]

Ok I went went into the \examples\espidf-arduino-blink and just changed the platform to

platform = https://github.com/pioarduino/platform-espressif32/releases/download/55.03.30/platform-espressif32.zip

And it reproes

On windows 10 Pro

Platform IO last updated
2025-05-28, 09:14:59

Vscode 1.89

Let me know what other information I can provide

The test does this

Platform Manager: Installing file://.
Platform Manager: espressif32@55.3.30 has been installed!

So it is not 1:1 as it is not actually downloading the generated platform zip.

[Jason2866]

What's wrong? It has installed the platform.

[ToyboxZach]

That wat not my logs, that was from the test. That was me explaining that the test wasn't doing the same thing

I get

MissingPackageManifestError: Could not find one of 'package.json' manifest files in the package

With the \examples\espidf-arduino-blink and just changed the platform to

platform = https://github.com/pioarduino/platform-espressif32/releases/download/55.03.30/platform-espressif32.zip

[mahyar1284]

I have the exact same problem!

• OS: Windows 11 Pro
• Platformio Version: 6.1.18
• Vscode Version: 1.102.3

My Platformio.ini file:

[env:stable]
platform = https://github.com/pioarduino/platform-espressif32/releases/download/55.03.30/platform-espressif32.zip
board = esp32dev
framework = Arduino

Error:

[Dimitry-Muzi]

The same problem

[Jason2866]

Please try #241 :

platform = https://github.com/pioarduino/platform-espressif32.git#win_test

if this does not help or solve the issues you see, i dont have any idea left why it is not working for some Windows users. All CI test do run without any problems for Windows, MacOS and Linux

[ToyboxZach]

It still happens.

It does seem to just get stuck while installing something initially, I'm really unsure of how this happens.

I will point out again though that your test doesn't actually download the zip and install anything, it is just using the local code. Maybe add a test that downloads the actual generated zip files? And maybe make sure that there aren't any special steps/setup in the testing infrastructure.

[Jason2866]

Again, i cant test with Windows. I dont have any Windows capable PC / Laptop. It is working in general. Have feedback from some Windows testers which have no issues at all. To be clear i cant solve what i cant reproduce.
