Platformio-core: Upload fails on jlink tool with spaces in path

[cinderblock]

Configuration

Operating system: Windows 10

PlatformIO Version: PlatformIO, version 3.6.1rc6

Description of problem

Upload fails with jlink tool if there are spaces anywhere in the project's path.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create new project that uses tool-jlink
   
   
   
   1. XMC1100 XMC2Go is an example "Board" that by default uses tool-jlink
   
   
   2. Save the project with a space somewhere in the path
      
      
      
      
      
      • Space in the project name: Test Project
      
      
      
      • Space in a parent directory of the project: C:\My Projects\
      
      
      
   
   
2. Click "Upload"

Actual Results

Failure during upload:

[...]

AVAILABLE: jlink
CURRENT: upload_protocol = jlink

Unknown command line option Project\.pioenvs\xmc1100_xmc2go\upload.jlink.

Expected Results

firmware.hex is uploaded to device.

Source and configuration

```platformio.ini
[env:xmc1100_xmc2go]
platform = infineonxmc
board = xmc1100_xmc2go
framework = arduino

```main.cpp
#include <Arduino.h>

void setup() {
    // put your setup code here, to run once:
}

void loop() {
    // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}

Additional Notes

I could not for the life of me find where the PIO "tools" are defined so I'm posting this here for lack of a better location.

Edit: I just found this post that (at the end) suggests this has been fixed. Have I simply not updated to the lastest? I thought updating to the lastest was all automatic...

Thanks a lot for the report. Next time please use https://github.com/Infineon/platformio-infineonxmc repository.

Fixed in https://github.com/Infineon/platformio-infineonxmc/releases/tag/v1.1.1. Please open PIO IDE > Left Sidebar > PlatformIO > Updates > Update All

@ivankravets Thank you for the link to the correct repo.

In the future, how do I go about finding a "map" of where tools are defined? To put it another way, which platformio controlled collection/list/page/database does pio lookup where tool-jlink is defined? This clearly exists for "libraries", "platforms", "frameworks", and "boards". I just haven't found where the one for "tools" where I presume tool-jlink to be.

Packages are here https://github.com/Infineon/platformio-infineonxmc/blob/master/platform.json#L16

Thank you for the link.

After some more searching, I finally found a reference to the manifest file in the documentation: https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/platforms/creating_platform.html

I'm surprised there isn't a first class ui for exploring "packages" like there is for other groupings of things:

Do you mean this https://bintray.com/platformio?

Hmmm. I think I understand why I was confused.

Originally, a couple months ago, I ran into this problem when I was in the earliest stages of creating my own framework.
I wanted to make a "tool" for Infineon's Memtool (which I use instead of jlink for xmc devices) and was looking to copy tool-jlink but could not find its definition. I had looked at the infineonxmc platform packages page but it only pointed to the official download locations of the tools and not to some platformio controlled url that I was expecting. This, among other factors, led me to put that effort on hold.

Then, when I ran into this issue for a new project, I jumped to the conclusion that tool-jlink was the culprit and did not fully investigate the platform.

Thank you very much for taking the time to help me find my way. 💯

Thank you for the awesome development environment!
I'm slowly moving all of my embedded stuff to PIO 😄
