Failed to install using bash on Windows

Describe the problem

Since the latest release I can't install through the script. It originally started happening in our CI and I tested locally to make sure it is also happening.

https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/actions/runs/9957218514/job/27508776142

As seen on the CI, this only happens in Windows.

Hello, I just tried on a Windows machine with git bash installed and everything seems to work just fine:

Additionally, if you are installing the arduino-cli in a workflow I recommend using https://github.com/arduino/setup-arduino-cli

Just run it again on a fresh install with git bash on Win 10 and same error happens:

Could you run with curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arduino/arduino-cli/master/install.sh | bash -x so we have a bit more logs?

I tried the same and on my PC I get:

+++ curl -s -w '%{http_code}' -L https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-cli/arduino-cli_1.0.3_Windows_64bit.zip -o /tmp/arduino-cli_1.0.3_Windows_64bit.zip
++ GETFILE_HTTP_STATUS_CODE=200
++ echo 200
+ httpStatusCode=200

it seems that your curl returns 000 instead of 200 🤔 could you try:

curl -s -w '%{http_code}' -L https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-cli/arduino-cli_1.0.3_Windows_64bit.zip -o /tmp/arduino-cli_1.0.3_Windows_64bit.zip

[cmaglie]

Also a curl --version mine is:

Please, try:

curl -I -L https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-cli/arduino-cli_1.0.3_Windows_64bit.zip

(sorry for the long testing I'm a bit lost here... I'm trying to figure out what's happening with your curl)

$ curl -s -w '%{http_code}\n' -fL https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-cli/arduino-cli_1.0.3_Windows_64bit.zip ; echo "Exit code: $?"
000
Exit code: 43

From MAN:

43
Internal error. A function was called with a bad parameter.

BTW, If I do:

curl -L https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-cli/arduino-cli_1.0.3_Windows_64bit.zip -o arduino-cli.zip

It downloads fine.

[cmaglie]

At this point, I'm wondering if it's better to check both the exit code AND the HTTP status code (that may be 000 that means... "something" happened...). I'm also keen to remove the -s, it will be a bit more verbose in normal conditions but will help to diagnose the problem in case of errors.

[cmaglie]

@lucasssvaz sorry for the long delay. I've made a patch to install.sh, now it should display a better error message thanks to a --show-error flag:

$ curl -s http://asdhkjashdkjahd.com                            <- no error displayed due to -s
$ curl -s http://asdhkjashdkjahd.com --show-error
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: asdhkjashdkjahd.com

If you're still experiencing the error, would you like to give it a try?

The patch is here https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/pull/2738 The updated install.sh can be downloaded here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arduino/arduino-cli/aed5066b2e52091aea87f5e992eb280be38c81d5/install.sh

[lucasssvaz]

@cmaglie Just tested, still some issue with libcurl:

[cmaglie]

It seems to be a problem with curl 8.8.0 -> https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/13845 Can you try to update curl?

[lucasssvaz]

I am using the curl version packed with git and even trying to update it fails, so probably this is the reason XD

C:\Users\lucas>git update-git-for-windows
Git for Windows 2.45.2.windows.1 (64-bit)
Update 2.47.0.windows.2 is available
curl: (43) A libcurl function was given a bad argument

I will reinstall everything and report back

[lucasssvaz]

Now it works as expected, it was an issue with the curl version packed with git for windows. Thanks for the help debugging!

Thank you for your responsiveness!

Even if not related to Arduino CLI, at least now:

• we have improved the error reporting
• we now know where this curl: (43) A libcurl function was given a bad argument comes from!
