travis ci build fails with arduino 1.6.7 and 1.6.8 and boards manager url

[tzapu]

but seems to work fine with 1.6.5

1.6.5 ok

Error compiling.

has the boards url param changed? or maybe it needs some escaping?

the cli params are

install:
  - ln -s $PWD /usr/local/share/arduino/libraries/WiFiManager
  - arduino --pref "boardsmanager.additional.urls=http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json" --save-pref
  - arduino --install-boards esp8266:esp8266
  - arduino --board esp8266:esp8266:generic --save-prefs

I've the same issue and haven't figured out where the problem is. Any suggestion?

[per1234]

Well it may not be relevant to the issue but I notice that

arduino --pref "boardsmanager.additional.urls=http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json" --save-pref

should be

arduino --pref "boardsmanager.additional.urls=http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json" --save-prefs

Do you get the same error manually running that command from the command line? That works fine for me.

[plinioseniore]

In my case the syntax looks correct but I have the same problem,

Something is definitely up, my workaround for now is to clear it afterwards:

arduino --pref "boardsmanager.additional.urls=http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json" --install-boards esp8266:esp8266

arduino --pref "boardsmanager.additional.urls=" --save-prefs

I'll try to reproduce in a non-Travis CI environment, seems like something is wrong in the preference saving area, as the boards support install works.

This is solved in the latest hourly builds by #4853. Also, arduino/arduino-builder#132 will prevent arduino-builder from splitting on pref args that contain :'s.
