arduino-ide Missing support for external tools / plugins

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to propose support for external tools / plugins which are compatible with Arduino IDE. Ex. https://github.com/me-no-dev/arduino-esp32fs-plugin or https://github.com/me-no-dev/EspExceptionDecoder If it is already supported, how can I use tools in Pro IDE? If it is not supported yet, are there any plans for implementing that?

Describe the problem

There is no support for extending the capabilities of Arduino IDE via external tools/plugins. This is a feature parity mismatch with Arduino IDE 1.x.

To reproduce

Follow the instructions to install the "Arduino Pico LittleFS Filesystem Uploader" plugin: https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico-littlefs-plugin#installation
Start Arduino IDE 2.x
Open the Tools menu.

🐛 The expected "Pico LittleFS Data Upload" menu item is missing.

Expected behavior

Support for extending the capabilities of Arduino IDE via external tools/plugins equivalent to the system provided by Arduino IDE 1.x.

@szerwi we have long had this in our list, but the pre-existing tools are built on Java and the new IDE is built on Electron. In order to implement tools, we should offer entry points for those and developers should follow guidelines to write such tools in JS, or make them binary executables that could be launched. We're not there yet, but this particular instance, the ESP exception decoder, is one of the most used tools out there :)

Feb 14 '21 10:02 ubidefeo

@ubidefeo Thanks for the reply. Do you mean that ESP exception decoder is one of the most used tools in Arduino IDE? Is there any way to run ESP exception decoder outside Arduino IDE and use it together with Pro IDE?

Feb 14 '21 10:02 szerwi

@szerwi we don't have any stats/numbers, there aren't many tools available, but I know that one is widely used to make sense of stack output dumped into the serial when the ESP crash. You cannot use those tools outside of the Java IDE, they are made in Java and built to leverage the Tools system in the Java IDE

Feb 14 '21 16:02 ubidefeo

Hi, I'd like to mention that for the ESP-specific plugins, we are open to rewriting them in any language required for integration with Arduino IDE v2.0.

We are also open to some more limited or localized plugin functionality. For example, for the exception decoder it would be sufficient if we could add a core-specific "filter" tool which could take serial data from stdin and annotate with any additional information, and send that to stdout. The IDE could then launch this process in the background.

If some direction is given by the Arduino team, we can also contribute PRs to support these features.

Oct 18 '21 13:10 igrr

Thank you @igrr We're really happy to see this comment. We'll discuss this internally to figure out what's the best plan of action and get back to you. Right now we don't have an API for plugins, but it's been in our bucket-list for a while. I need to talk to the team to see if we can leverage a VS Code Extension kind of workflow to get started, give us some time to talk this. Thanks again 🙏🏼

Oct 18 '21 15:10 ubidefeo

This is actually an "IDE 2.0 vs IDE 1.x" feature parity item, I re-arranged the title and the labeling 🐱

Oct 25 '21 16:10 rsora

Just want to chime in, that Teensy needs this functionality for a tool which manages keys for code security.

sec

I'm can rewrite in whatever language and API are needed...

Feb 04 '22 01:02 PaulStoffregen

As I believe this is still to be added I put together a temporary standalone method for doing ESP8266 exception decoding.

https://github.com/roberttidey/NodeESPExceptionDecoder

This uses the same type of method used in the java decoder, but moved into javascript to run under node.

Feb 06 '22 12:02 roberttidey

Also the esp8266/esp32 data upload tools (spiffs and LittleFS) are missing. Without them using/testing the 2 rc5 IDE is useless for me :-(

Mar 27 '22 08:03 mrWheel

@ubidefeo @per1234 Congrats on reaching the Arduino IDE 2.0 release milestone!

I wanted to check if you could give any direction with regards to this issue? As I mentioned in https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/58#issuecomment-945764907, Espressif is willing to contribute this functionality, since it's the main hurdle for our users in migrating to Arduino IDE 2.0. Any suggestion from you would be really valuable.

Sep 15 '22 14:09 igrr

2.0 is really unusable until we can have "data" folders that can be stored on a ESP device.

Sep 18 '22 01:09 JimDrewGH

And the exception decoder. My terrible workaround is to keep 1.8.19 as a parallel installation for when I do need those external tools.

Also, 2.0 was only just released, so I understand the authors of the various plugins and tools waiting until an actual release was available before deciding to spend time redesigning their plugins for the new IDE. Just look at how much stuff changed in the release candidates.

Sep 18 '22 21:09 ckuethe

Any progress on this?

Oct 31 '22 21:10 JimDrewGH

Hi , Any update on this case. Because it is a lack for the ESP familly :)

Thanks

It's my understanding that plugin authors are not "waiting" to update their modules to support the new IDE; it's that v2.x does not (currently) expose any of the requisite hooks to allow it to be extended. It's functionality that's missing, not stability.

That is exactly the situation we are in :) I am sure that the Arduino IDE team is working on this

Hello me-no-dev Thank you for the plugin esp32 sketch data upload which works well with a wemos lolin32 lite for example in 1.8.19 but not with an esp32-S2 wemos s2 mini

Hello me-no-dev Thank you for the plugin esp32 sketch data upload which works well with a wemos lolin32 lite

@froussel - I think you posted this in the wrong place - this thread is concerning missing support for plugins in the Arduino IDE v2.0. Did you mean to create an issue for https://github.com/me-no-dev/arduino-esp32fs-plugin ?

Nov 17 '22 17:11 alastaira

Being able to upload files to the ESP8266 still doesn't work in IDE V2 :( Version: 2.0.2 Date: 2022-11-17T11:52:32.665Z CLI Version: 0.29.0 [76251df9]

This makes it a non-starter for many that use ESPs :(

Does anyone know how to upload files externally outside the IDE.

Hmm I think one of the file examples there was a file upload example. That would require embedding the /edit.html file in the sketch to get to upload.

Nov 28 '22 20:11 Gord1

I just keep a pre 2.0 version of the IDE around for the data folder uploader and ESP exception tool. Unfortunate.

Nov 28 '22 20:11 wonder99

I use 2.0 exclusively now. I don't have a problem with the missing upload part as I always include the file browser / edit facility in my sketches as this makes it much easier to upload, download and maintain items in the file system such as config files and log files.

The full browser / edit facility contains a simple file uploader which is used to bootstrap the 3 or 4 files needed for browse / edit to work. If one doesn't need the full capabilities then it is possible to use just this part for simple file uploading.

To make it easier I use a base library which includes all the browser / edit code together with other facilities like OTA programming and basic wifi set up.

For the missing exception tool I use an off-line equivalent as described earlier in this issue.

Obviously it would be nice to get of this stuff directly in v2 but it is not stopping me using v2 all the time.

Nov 28 '22 21:11 roberttidey

@roberttidey I'd be curious to see that base library if you've shared it somewhere.

The other thing I've found to be more difficult than expected is there is no obvious way I've found to check if the filesystem has already been formatted on boot. If it was already formatted I want to just use what's there, but if not then format it. Haven't found a way yet.

Nov 28 '22 21:11 sprior

This is my base support library

https://github.com/roberttidey/BaseSupport

For the filesystem, begin() should return true if formatted and false if not. Check the initFS routine in the basesupport library

@igrr I just discoverd that arduino for the esp is using an 23year old c version by default in the platform.txt. No wondering you having some problems to impliment it. It can be as high as 18years later...

Dec 16 '22 08:12 podaen

@igrr if you set over to linux payload for the arduino IDE, than you can use plugins that are java based and evrything mixed together.

Dec 16 '22 09:12 podaen

I just discoverd that arduino for the esp is using an 23year old c version by default in the platform.txt. No wondering you having some problems to impliment it. It can be as high as 18years later...

What do you mean by that? What is 23 years old? This discussion is about the possibility to add plugins, like that Java based ones to the new IDE 2.x

Dec 16 '22 09:12 me-no-dev

It's probably not related to this. It's me that have a lot of issues by the default settings.

I have the plugin works linux payload. So thats for sure!

Dec 16 '22 09:12 podaen

That sounds unrelated to the topic of this issue. I think the arduino-esp32 project will switch from -std=gnu99 to -std=gnu17 in the upcoming 3.0 release, but this can be discussed/tracked on the arduino-esp32 project issue tracker, not here.

On the topic of this issue, I have recently found that it is already possible to load Theia plugins from a profile directory: https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/blob/2a55ddd757aeba1a88a5fa12d290c2b3bebf6d69/electron/build/scripts/arduino-ide-electron-main.js#L7.

What we are missing now to implement plugins like the file uploader and exception decoder is some stable API to access information about the current sketch: source directory, build directory, FQBN, selected serial port.

Dec 16 '22 13:12 igrr

ESP-IDF devs just added operational JTAG debugging in the Arduino v2 IDE so it would be beneficial to have a way to upload to an onboard flash filesystem so developers aren't required to go back to the 1.8.x IDE just to upload HTML files to the flash.

esp32 core v2.0.6 changes

Dec 28 '22 20:12 dlarue

Please ping me when IDE 2.x will support external tools (for file uploading), now IDE 1.8.19 more useful when you want upload files to ESP
