Is there a reason why the 3.2.0 isn't available in PlatformIO?

[FredM67]

In PlatformIO, I get only the 3.1.0 :-(

Closing as duplicate of #78

Since history showed that maintaining duplicate metadata files is not feasible and PlatformIO has support for Arduino's library.properties metadata file, the superfluous library.json metadata file was removed from this repository (#121). Please request the PlatformIO library registry maintainers to update the NTPClient library registration to point to this metadata file: https://github.com/arduino-libraries/NTPClient/blob/master/library.properties

@per1234 could we ask you to bump v3.2.1? The v3.2.0 tag is broken, there are multiple manifests with different "version" fields. See https://github.com/arduino-libraries/NTPClient/tree/3.2.0

arduino-libraries/NTPClient in PlatformIO Registry still points to the 3.1.0.

Hi @ivankravets. I'm not really in the role to make releases of this project, but I will reopen the issue since it seems it is distinct from #78 after all. That will allow us to more effectively track the issue.

Thanks, @per1234

The same issue with https://github.com/arduino-libraries/ArduinoHttpClient , the library.json manifest does not contain "version" field.

I agree with you, it makes sense to remove "library.json" files from the libraries from this org if you don't need advanced control over the library build process.

Who could help with this?

Thanks for bringing that to our attention. I have submitted a PR to address the issue: arduino-libraries/ArduinoHttpClient#133

Who could help with this?

I have assigned the issue to @aentinger since I see they have been the most actively involved with the project recently.

I'm a bit confused here.

It sounds to me the best way forward would be to drop this line and then make a new release, i.e. v3.2.1? Please note that we do not control what platform.io does or does not do 🤷 .

[per1234]

@aentinger the problem was caused by this line:

https://github.com/arduino-libraries/NTPClient/blob/3.2.0/library.json#L21

  "version": "3.1.0",

It was not updated before the creation of the 3.2.0 tag in this repository, which caused the 3.2.0 tag to be rejected by the PlatformIO library manager. So PlatformIO users only have access to the old version from the time of the 3.1.0 tag.

The problem has since been fixed by the removal of the improperly maintained library.json file in #121

But there has not been a tag since that fix was made, so the fix hasn't actually taken effect yet. That will only happen when a new release of the library is made:

1. Bump the version field in library.properties
2. Make a new tag or release.

Please note that we do not control what platform.io does or does not do

PlatformIO supports the library.properties metadata file. So the only thing that needs to be done is for us to maintain the file as is required by the Arduino Library Manager and PlatformIO will be able to work with that no problem. The previous problem was caused by the presence of PlatformIO's preferred library.json file in the repository. If that file is present, then it is used, and so must be valid. A problem with the library.json will cause the library to be rejected by the PlatformIO library manager even if the library.properties file is perfect. But we don't need to worry about that at all now that the library.json file has been removed.

[aentinger]

Thank you for the explanation 👍 The thing that got me confused was that I could not find the library.json file anymore, which from the messages I learned was the apparent offender. Will follow your suggestions 👍

[aentinger]

Should be fixed, see https://github.com/arduino-libraries/NTPClient/releases/tag/3.2.1 🙇

[per1234]

Thanks @aentinger!

[ivankravets]

Thanks for solving this issue! The library has been updated https://registry.platformio.org/libraries/arduino-libraries/NTPClient

Have a great work week!
