Use arduino-cli backend

[ianfixes]

Highlights from CHANGELOG.md

🎉 Arduino backend is now arduino-cli version 0.13.0 🎉

Added

• Special handling of attempts to run the arduino_ci.rb CI script against the ruby library instead of an actual Arduino project
• Explicit checks for attemping to test arduino_ci itself as if it were a librart, resolving a minor annoyance to this developer.
• Code coverage tooling
• Explicit check and warning for library directory names that do not match our guess of what the library should/would be called

Changed

• Arduino backend is now arduino-cli version 0.13.0
• ArduinoCmd is now ArduinoBackend
• CppLibrary now relies largely on ArduinoBackend instead of making its own judgements about libraries (metadata, includes, and examples)
• ArduinoBackend functionality related to CppLibrary now lives in CppLibrary
• CppLibrary now works in an installation-first manner for exposure to arduino-cli's logic -- without installation, there is no ability to reason about libraries
• CppLibrary forces just-in-time recursive dependency installation in order to work sensibly
• ArduinoBackend maintains the central "best guess" logic on what a library (on disk) might be named

Deprecated

• arduino_ci_remote.rb CLI switch --skip-compilation
• Deprecated arduino_ci_remote.rb in favor of arduino_ci.rb

Removed

• ARDUINO_CI_SKIP_SPLASH_SCREEN_RSPEC_TESTS no longer affects any tests because there are no longer splash screens since switching to arduino-cli

Fixed

• Mismatches between library names in library.properties and the directory names, which can cause cryptic failures
• LibraryProperties skips over parse errors instead of crashing: only lines with non-empty keys and non-nil values are recorded

Issues Fixed

• Fixes Revisit splash screen suppression on OSX #137
• Fixes Fix IDE auto-download in OSX Catalina (64-bit only OS) #155
• Fixes Implement Arduino CLI (instead of IDE) backend #206
• Obsoletes Don't switch to a board if there are no tests/examples for that board #17
• Obsoletes Upgrade Arduino IDE dependency to 1.8.13 #185
• Fixes Properly handle libraries with spaces in names, when installed as custom libraries #222
• Addresses Fix library parse error if there is an extra blank line in library_properties.rb #224

@per1234 one thing I'm struggling with here is how much to rely on the output of arduino-cli lib list. For example, I'm noticing here is that it doesn't follow any symlinks.

I could imagine relying on a lot of its output (which us unbelievably helpful by being json-formatted, btw), but for some of the unit tests I'd prefer to symlink dummy libraries into the Arduino libraries dir rather than fake or mock the output of arduino-cli.

I'm noticing here is that it doesn't follow any symlinks.

Is this the same behavior you're experiencing?

Aah, this was my own mistake.

Comparing ls -l $(./arduino-cli config dump --format json | jq -r ".directories.user")/libraries to ./arduino-cli lib list, everything is as it should be. I lost track of which of my dummy libraries I had actually installed.

[ianfixes]

I take that back, it's failing in a very narrow case

$ ls -lo $(./arduino-cli config dump --format json | jq -r ".directories.user")/libraries | grep TestSomething
lrwxr-xr-x   1 ianfixes   78 Jan  5  2019 TestSomething -> /Users/ianfixes/Development/arduino_ci/SampleProjects/TestSomething
$ ./arduino-cli lib list | grep TestSomething

$ ./arduino-cli lib deps TestSomething
Error resolving dependencies for TestSomething: looking for library: library TestSomething not found

In other words,

1. the library exists as a symlink in the directory that arduino-cli agrees is the proper library directory
2. arduino-cli detects the library
3. the library contains a library.properties
4. arduino-cli can't determine the deps of the library it already "knows" exists

Am I missing something obvious or quirky here?
