'ATTinyCore by Spence Konde' doesn't show in Board Manager list

[Napoleon-BlownApart]

Using Arduino IDE 2.2.1 on Mac, adding the http://drazzy.com/package_drazzy.com_index.json url to the list (only one in my case) and pressing OK, causes the IDE to download the package_drazzy.json file into /Users/<user>/Library/Arduino15. But when I go into the Board Manager and try to find ATTinyCore by Spence Konde in the list, it's not there.

What to do?

I installed Arduino IDE 2.1.0, and now it's working again. (Didn't work with v2.2.0)

Do note that we do not yet officially support IDE versions 2.x - as some people yourself included have observed, under at least some conditions, some 2.x.x versions work. I have not characterized which ones do or not (I'm sorry, I'm sick and tired of 80-90% of versions that Arduino ships being unfit for purpose with major regressions, and people acting like it's my job to figure that out). I asked way back when 2.0 first came out if anyone had tried it out or found any problems, on all of my cores. You could hear the chirping of crickets. But then I see issues getting created like this, with peiople

Did any errors come up when you opened board manager?

There is an issue with the webserver configuration; if the new IDE is trying to force https when http urls are fed to it, that would prevent it from downloading the board manager json file, because the https functionality of the webserver is busted in ways that I do not understand.

I understand. I believe this to be an issue with the IDE, not your package.
Under 2.2.1, no errors were displayed, just the entry was not visible in the board manager list after adding it to the preferences list.
Under 2.1.0, ATTiny85 and ATTiny88 (MH-ET Live) work fine for me using the Micronucleus.

I can't even get the http://drazzy.com/package_drazzy.com_index.json link to work, says it wont connect.

Maybe try it in your browser? Note it's not using https.
You could try, after doing the normal steps in the preference settings, manually download the file and save it into your ~/Library/Arduino15 folder using the name package_drazzy.com_index.json.
And then try to install ATTinyCore the normal way.

Did YOU try it in your browser?

Yes it is down because I'm trying to fix 5hw last problem reported but broke my wrbsrtveterer in the procwss

Still down

[SpenceKonde]

Still aware of the problem

I also ran into the issue, that the boards manager URL is not working (on Mac with Arduino IDE 2.2.1). Downloading the json file and putting it into ~/Library/Arduino15 was an easy work around. Thanks for sharing!

I have the same issue as the original post: I can put the json in my preferences, and I then see the json file appear in my Arduino15 directory. However, ATtinyCore does not show up in the board manager as an option to download. I have since successfully downloaded a different board package, so it must be something about ATtinyCore and this release of the IDE. I'm using Arduino IDE 2.2.1, so I guess there's something that wasn't fully tested.

I'm able to do the manual download where I put the ATtinyCore package in my sketches hardware directory. But, it would be good to get this resolved so that the core can be maintained through the board manager.

Is there any indication on what the root cause is? Does it have something to do with how the json file is named?

The ATtinyCore is working for me on IDE 2.2.1 as far as I can tell......

Hi all. This is caused by a bug in Arduino CLI versions 0.34.0 - 0.34.2, which also affects Arduino IDE versions 2.2.0 - 2.2.1:

arduino/arduino-cli#2345

I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

---

The bug has already been fixed, but there hasn't been a release of Arduino CLI since that time so the fix is not yet available to Arduino IDE users.

I'll provide instructions for a workaround:

1. Select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus if it is running.
2. Open the following folder in your file manager program (e.g., Windows File Explorer):
   • If you are using Linux:

     /home/<username>/.arduino15/
     

     (Where <username> is your Linux username)
     ❗ The .arduino15 folder may be hidden by default in your file manager and terminal.
   • If you are using macOS:

     /Users/<username>/Library/Arduino15/
     

     (Where <username> is your macOS username)
     ❗ The Library folder is hidden by default. You can make it visible by pressing the Command+Shift+. keyboard shortcut.

• If you are using Windows:

  C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Arduino15\
  

  (Where <username> is your Windows username)
  ❗ If looking for it with your file manager or command line, note that the <!-- TODO: path --> folder is hidden by default. On Windows "File Explorer", you can make it visible by opening the "View" menu, then checking the box next to "☐ Hidden items".

1. You will see a file named package_drazzy.json in that folder. Rename it to package_drazzy.com_index.json.

Now start Arduino IDE again. You should now see ATTinyCore (as well as the other SpenceKonde/DrAzzy) platforms listed in Boards Manager and be able to install it as expected.
