Unable to compile S3 projects

[zfi]

Compiling any S3 program fails with a generic server 500 error message. Project for all other board type appear to compile without incident.

[zfi]

Unable to reproduce the error. The compiler logs are inconclusive.

I just tested this in v1.3.477 and I was able to reproduce it

Can you attach the project svg file so we can test it on a dev box? We need to find the root cause for the intermittent performance on S3 projects.

[MatzElectronics]

Check the C libraries. I used a custom block in a ActivityBoard project to invoke #include "s3.h", and that caused it to generate the error...

I'm sorry but I am not connecting the dots here. This issue only occurs with S3 board type. All other board types, including the Activity Board, do not exhibit this error. What exactly is it that we are looking for in the C libraries?

[MatzElectronics]

Start with a new Activity Board project. Add any block to make a project that compiles to test it. Then, add a custom code block. In the includes field, add: #include "s3.h" Try compiling again.

The issue as reported is discussing S3 board type projects, not Activity Board projects.

Still, I followed the steps you outlined and this project compiles without error.

// ------ Libraries and Definitions ------
#include "simpletools.h"
#include "s3.h"



// ------ Main Program ------
int main() {

Huh. I tried this because I was trying to isolate the problem by adding only one piece to the code at a time. The s3 type adds a few different things automatically, so by choosing the ActivityBoard type, it allows you to test smaller pieces.

Which system are you using when you see this error? For example, the svg file runs without error on my dev system but not on production Solo. To be transparent, I have been working to clean up the code on the compiler system and may have inadvertently corrected whatever is triggering the 500 error.

It would also be helpful to know exactly what is being sent to the compiler server. The URL including any query strings, and the request body.

The problem appears to the in the S3 header file.

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 1018: ordinal not in range(128)

[zfi]

I don't see anything in the s3.h file that might trigger the decode. I am deploying an update to the cloud compiler that will provide more details in this area of the code.

I can confirm that the issue is in Simple Libraries. Version 1.4.122 does not exhibit the issue. Version 1.4.131 does exhibit the issue. I have an older version of the library on my dev system, which is why it was working there and not in the production system.

I am going to open an issue over in the Simple Libraries repo and leave this issue open until it is resolved.
