Upgrading

Here you can find a list of migration guides to handle breaking changes between releases of the CLI.

0.19.0

board list command JSON output change

The board list command JSON output has been changed quite a bit, from:

$ arduino-cli board list --format json
[
  {
    "address": "/dev/ttyACM1",
    "protocol": "serial",
    "protocol_label": "Serial Port (USB)",
    "boards": [
      {
        "name": "Arduino Uno",
        "fqbn": "arduino:avr:uno",
        "vid": "0x2341",
        "pid": "0x0043"
      }
    ],
    "serial_number": "954323132383515092E1"
  }
]

to:

$ arduino-cli board list --format json
[
  {
    "matching_boards": [
      {
        "name": "Arduino Uno",
        "fqbn": "arduino:avr:uno"
      }
    ],
    "port": {
      "address": "/dev/ttyACM1",
      "label": "/dev/ttyACM1",
      "protocol": "serial",
      "protocol_label": "Serial Port (USB)",
      "properties": {
        "pid": "0x0043",
        "serialNumber": "954323132383515092E1",
        "vid": "0x2341"
      }
    }
  }
]

The boards array has been renamed matching_boards, each contained object will now contain only name and fqbn. Properties that can be used to identify a board are now moved to the new properties object, it can contain any key name. pid and vid have been moved to properties, serial_number has been renamed serialNumber and moved to properties. The new label field is the name of the port if it should be displayed in a GUI.

gRPC interface DebugConfigRequest, UploadRequest, UploadUsingProgrammerRequest, BurnBootloaderRequest, DetectedPort field changes

DebugConfigRequest, UploadRequest, UploadUsingProgrammerRequest and BurnBootloaderRequest had their port field change from type string to Port.

Port contains the following information:

// Port represents a board port that may be used to upload or to monitor a board
message Port {
  // Address of the port (e.g., `/dev/ttyACM0`).
  string address = 1;
  // The port label to show on the GUI (e.g. "ttyACM0")
  string label = 2;
  // Protocol of the port (e.g., `serial`, `network`, ...).
  string protocol = 3;
  // A human friendly description of the protocol (e.g., "Serial Port (USB)"
  string protocol_label = 4;
  // A set of properties of the port
  map<string, string> properties = 5;
}

The gRPC interface message DetectedPort has been changed from:

message DetectedPort {
  // Address of the port (e.g., `serial:///dev/ttyACM0`).
  string address = 1;
  // Protocol of the port (e.g., `serial`).
  string protocol = 2;
  // A human friendly description of the protocol (e.g., "Serial Port (USB)").
  string protocol_label = 3;
  // The boards attached to the port.
  repeated BoardListItem boards = 4;
  // Serial number of connected board
  string serial_number = 5;
}

to:

message DetectedPort {
  // The possible boards attached to the port.
  repeated BoardListItem matching_boards = 1;
  // The port details
  Port port = 2;
}

The properties previously contained directly in the message are now stored in the port property.

These changes are necessary for the pluggable discovery.

gRPC interface BoardListItem change

The vid and pid fields of the BoardListItem message have been removed. They used to only be available when requesting connected board lists, now that information is stored in the port field of DetectedPort.

Change public library interface

github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/i18n package

The behavior of the Init function has changed. The user specified locale code is no longer read from the github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/configuration package and now must be passed directly to Init as a string:

i18n.Init("it")

Omit the argument for automated locale detection:

i18n.Init()

github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/builder package

GenBuildPath() function has been moved to github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/sketch package. The signature is unchanged.

EnsureBuildPathExists function from has been completely removed, in its place use github.com/arduino/go-paths-helper.MkDirAll().

SketchSaveItemCpp function signature is changed from path string, contents []byte, destPath string to path *paths.Path, contents []byte, destPath *paths.Path. paths is github.com/arduino/go-paths-helper.

SketchLoad function has been removed, in its place use New from github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/sketch package.

-      SketchLoad("/some/path", "")
+      sketch.New(paths.New("some/path))
}

If you need to set a custom build path you must instead set it after creating the Sketch.

-      SketchLoad("/some/path", "/my/build/path")
+      s, err := sketch.New(paths.New("some/path))
+      s.BuildPath = paths.new("/my/build/path")
}

SketchCopyAdditionalFiles function signature is changed from sketch *sketch.Sketch, destPath string, overrides map[string]string to sketch *sketch.Sketch, destPath *paths.Path, overrides map[string]string.

github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/sketch package

Item struct has been removed, use go-paths-helper.Path in its place.

NewItem has been removed too, use go-paths-helper.New in its place.

GetSourceBytes has been removed, in its place use go-paths-helper.Path.ReadFile. GetSourceStr too has been removed, in its place:

-      s, err := item.GetSourceStr()
+      data, err := file.ReadFile()
+      s := string(data)
}

ItemByPath type and its member functions have been removed, use go-paths-helper.PathList in its place.

Sketch.LocationPath has been renamed to FullPath and its type changed from string to go-paths-helper.Path.

Sketch.MainFile type has changed from *Item to go-paths-helper.Path. Sketch.OtherSketchFiles, Sketch.AdditionalFiles and Sketch.RootFolderFiles type has changed from []*Item to go-paths-helper.PathList.

New signature has been changed from sketchFolderPath, mainFilePath, buildPath string, allFilesPaths []string to path *go-paths-helper.Path.

CheckSketchCasing function is now private, the check is done internally by New.

InvalidSketchFoldernameError has been renamed InvalidSketchFolderNameError.

github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/sketches package

Sketch struct has been merged with sketch.Sketch struct.

Metadata and BoardMetadata structs have been moved to github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/sketch package.

NewSketchFromPath has been deleted, use sketch.New in its place.

ImportMetadata is now private called internally by sketch.New.

ExportMetadata has been moved to github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/sketch package.

CheckForPdeFiles has been moved to github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/sketch package.

github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/legacy/builder/types package

Sketch has been removed, use sketch.Sketch in its place.

SketchToLegacy and SketchFromLegacy have been removed, nothing replaces them.

Context.Sketch types has been changed from Sketch to sketch.Sketch.

Change in board details response (gRPC and JSON output)

The board details output WRT board identification properties has changed, before it was:

$ arduino-cli board details arduino:samd:mkr1000
Board name:                Arduino MKR1000
FQBN:                      arduino:samd:mkr1000
Board version:             1.8.11
Debugging supported:       ✔

Official Arduino board:    ✔

Identification properties: VID:0x2341 PID:0x824e
                           VID:0x2341 PID:0x024e
                           VID:0x2341 PID:0x804e
                           VID:0x2341 PID:0x004e
[...]

$ arduino-cli board details arduino:samd:mkr1000 --format json
[...]
  "identification_prefs": [
    {
      "usb_id": {
        "vid": "0x2341",
        "pid": "0x804e"
      }
    },
    {
      "usb_id": {
        "vid": "0x2341",
        "pid": "0x004e"
      }
    },
    {
      "usb_id": {
        "vid": "0x2341",
        "pid": "0x824e"
      }
    },
    {
      "usb_id": {
        "vid": "0x2341",
        "pid": "0x024e"
      }
    }
  ],
[...]

now the properties have been renamed from identification_prefs to identification_properties and they are no longer specific to USB but they can theoretically be any set of key/values:

$ arduino-cli board details arduino:samd:mkr1000
Board name:                Arduino MKR1000
FQBN:                      arduino:samd:mkr1000

Identification properties: vid=0x2341
                           pid=0x824e

  "identification_properties": [
    {
      "properties": {
        "pid": "0x804e",
        "vid": "0x2341"
      }
    },
    {
      "properties": {
        "pid": "0x004e",

      }
    },
    {
      "properties": {
        "pid": "0x024e",

      }
    }
  ]
}

Change of behaviour of gRPC Init function

Previously the Init function was used to both create a new CoreInstance and initialize it, so that the internal package and library managers were already populated with all the information available from *_index.json files, installed platforms and libraries and so on.

Now the initialization phase is split into two, first the client must create a new CoreInstance with the Create function, that does mainly two things:

• create all folders necessary to correctly run the CLI if not already existing
• create and return a new CoreInstance

The Create function will only fail if folders creation is not successful.

The returned instance is relatively unusable since no library and no platform is loaded, some functions that don't need that information can still be called though.

The Init function has been greatly overhauled and it doesn't fail completely if one or more platforms or libraries fail to load now.

Also the option library_manager_only has been removed, the package manager is always initialized and platforms are loaded.

The Init was already a server-side streaming function but it would always return one and only one response, this has been modified so that each response is either an error or a notification on the initialization process so that it works more like an actual stream of information.

Previously a client would call the function like so:

const initReq = new InitRequest()
initReq.setLibraryManagerOnly(false)
const initResp = await new Promise<InitResponse>((resolve, reject) => {
  let resp: InitResponse | undefined = undefined
  const stream = client.init(initReq)
  stream.on("data", (data: InitResponse) => (resp = data))
  stream.on("end", () => resolve(resp!))
  stream.on("error", (err) => reject(err))
})

const instance = initResp.getInstance()
if (!instance) {
  throw new Error("Could not retrieve instance from the initialize response.")
}

Now something similar should be done.

const createReq = new CreateRequest()
const instance = client.create(createReq)

if (!instance) {
  throw new Error("Could not retrieve instance from the initialize response.")
}

const initReq = new InitRequest()
initReq.setInstance(instance)
const initResp = client.init(initReq)
initResp.on("data", (o: InitResponse) => {
  const downloadProgress = o.getDownloadProgress()
  if (downloadProgress) {
    // Handle download progress
  }
  const taskProgress = o.getTaskProgress()
  if (taskProgress) {
    // Handle task progress
  }
  const err = o.getError()
  if (err) {
    // Handle error
  }
})

await new Promise<void>((resolve, reject) => {
  initResp.on("error", (err) => reject(err))
  initResp.on("end", resolve)
})

Previously if even one platform or library failed to load everything else would fail too, that doesn't happen anymore. Now it's easier for both the CLI and the gRPC clients to handle gracefully platforms or libraries updates that might break the initialization step and make everything unusable.

Removal of gRPC Rescan function

The Rescan function has been removed, in its place the Init function must be used.

Change of behaviour of gRPC UpdateIndex and UpdateLibrariesIndex functions

Previously both UpdateIndex and UpdateLibrariesIndex functions implicitly called Rescan so that the internal CoreInstance was updated with the eventual new information obtained in the update.

This behaviour is now removed and the internal CoreInstance must be explicitly updated by the gRPC client using the Init function.

Removed rarely used golang API

The following function from the github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/libraries module is no longer available:

func (lm *LibrariesManager) UpdateIndex(config *downloader.Config) (*downloader.Downloader, error) {

We recommend using the equivalent gRPC API to perform the update of the index.

0.18.0

Breaking changes in gRPC API and CLI JSON output.

Starting from this release we applied a more rigorous and stricter naming conventions in gRPC API following the official guidelines: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/style

We also started using a linter to implement checks for gRPC API style errors.

This provides a better consistency and higher quality API but inevitably introduces breaking changes.

gRPC API breaking changes

Consumers of the gRPC API should regenerate their bindings and update all structures naming where necessary. Most of the changes are trivial and falls into the following categories:

• Service names have been suffixed with ...Service (for example ArduinoCore -> ArduinoCoreService)
• Message names suffix has been changed from ...Req/...Resp to ...Request/...Response (for example BoardDetailsReq -> BoardDetailsRequest)
• Enumerations now have their class name prefixed (for example the enumeration value FLAT in LibraryLayout has been changed to LIBRARY_LAYOUT_FLAT)
• Use of lower-snake case on all fields (for example: ID -> id, FQBN -> fqbn, Name -> name, ArchiveFilename -> archive_filename)
• Package names are now versioned (for example cc.arduino.cli.commands -> cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1)
• Repeated responses are now in plural form (identification_pref -> identification_prefs, platform -> platforms)

arduino-cli JSON output breaking changes

Consumers of the JSON output of the CLI must update their clients if they use one of the following commands:

• in core search command the following fields have been renamed:

  • Boards -> boards
  • Email -> email
  • ID -> id
  • Latest -> latest
  • Maintainer -> maintainer
  • Name -> name
  • Website -> website

  The new output is like:

  $ arduino-cli core search Due --format json

• in board list command the following fields have been renamed:

  • FQBN -> fqbn
  • VID -> vid
  • PID -> pid

  The new output is like:

Change type of CompileReq.ExportBinaries message in gRPC interface

This change affects only the gRPC consumers.

In the CompileReq message the export_binaries property type has been changed from bool to google.protobuf.BoolValue. This has been done to handle settings bindings by gRPC consumers and the CLI in the same way so that they an identical behaviour.

0.15.0

Rename telemetry settings to metrics

All instances of the term telemetry in the code and the documentation has been changed to metrics. This has been done to clarify that no data is currently gathered from users of the CLI.

To handle this change the users must edit their config file, usually arduino-cli.yaml, and change the telemetry key to metrics. The modification must be done by manually editing the file using a text editor, it can't be done via CLI. No other action is necessary.

The default folders for the arduino-cli.yaml are:

• Linux: /home/<your_username>/.arduino15/arduino-cli.yaml
• OS X: /Users/<your_username>/Library/Arduino15/arduino-cli.yaml
• Windows: C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Local\Arduino15\arduino-cli.yaml

Changes in debug command

Previously it was required:

• To provide a debug command line recipe in platform.txt like tools.reciped-id.debug.pattern=..... that will start a gdb session for the selected board.
• To add a debug.tool definition in the boards.txt to recall that recipe, for example myboard.debug.tool=recipe-id

Now:

• Only the configuration needs to be supplied, the arduino-cli or the GUI tool will figure out how to call and setup the gdb session. An example of configuration is the following:

debug.executable={build.path}/{build.project_name}.elf
debug.toolchain=gcc
debug.toolchain.path={runtime.tools.arm-none-eabi-gcc-7-2017q4.path}/bin/
debug.toolchain.prefix=arm-none-eabi-
debug.server=openocd
debug.server.openocd.path={runtime.tools.openocd-0.10.0-arduino7.path}/bin/
debug.server.openocd.scripts_dir={runtime.tools.openocd-0.10.0-arduino7.path}/share/openocd/scripts/
debug.server.openocd.script={runtime.platform.path}/variants/{build.variant}/{build.openocdscript}

The debug.server.XXXX subkeys are optional and also "free text", this means that the configuration may be extended as needed by the specific server. For now only openocd is supported. Anyway, if this change works, any other kind of server may be fairly easily added.

The debug.xxx=yyy definitions above may be supplied and overlayed in the usual ways:

• on platform.txt: definition here will be shared through all boards in the platform
• on boards.txt as part of a board definition: they will override the global platform definitions
• on programmers.txt: they will override the boards and global platform definitions if the programmer is selected

Binaries export must now be explicitly specified

Previously, if the --build-path was not specified, compiling a Sketch would copy the generated binaries in <sketch_folder>/build/<fqbn>/, uploading to a board required that path to exist and contain the necessary binaries.

The --dry-run flag was removed.

The default, compile does not copy generated binaries to the sketch folder. The --export-binaries (-e) flag was introduced to copy the binaries from the build folder to the sketch one. --export-binaries is not required when using the --output-dir flag. A related configuration key and environment variable has been added to avoid the need to always specify the --export-binaries flag: sketch.always_export_binaries and ARDUINO_SKETCH_ALWAYS_EXPORT_BINARIES.

If --input-dir or --input-file is not set when calling upload the command will search for the deterministically created build directory in the temp folder and use the binaries found there.

The gRPC interface has been updated accordingly, dryRun is removed.

Programmers can't be listed anymore using burn-bootloader -P list

The -P flag is used to select the programmer used to burn the bootloader on the specified board. Using -P list to list all the possible programmers for the current board was hackish.

This way has been removed in favour of board details <fqbn> --list-programmers.

lib install --git-url and --zip-file must now be explicitly enabled

With the introduction of the --git-url and --zip-file flags the new config key library.enable_unsafe_install has been added to enable them.

This changes the ouput of the config dump command.

Change behaviour of --config-file flag with config commands

To create a new config file with config init one must now use --dest-dir or the new --dest-file flags. Previously the config file would always be overwritten by this command, now it fails if the it already exists, to force the previous behaviour the user must set the --overwrite flag.
