Can't use custom framework-espidf since v3.3.0

See original GitHub issue

Trying to specify a custom framework-espidf is broken since v3.3.0 with this error:

TypeError: write() argument must be str, not None:

I believe this is a regression caused by 4cb06337d678312dbcb293f508d7de7d7124ee68 (/cc @valeros), which was meant to resolve #558. Here is the code in question:

def create_version_file():
    version_file = os.path.join(FRAMEWORK_DIR, "version.txt")
    if not os.path.isfile(version_file):
        with open(version_file, "w") as fp:
            fp.write(platform.get_package_version("framework-espidf"))
            fp.write(
                get_original_version(platform.get_package_version("framework-espidf"))
            )

For example, let’s say I want to explicitly specify ESP-IDF v4.3 from the Espressif origin:

platform_packages =
  framework-espidf @ https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf#v4.3

In this case, platform.get_package_version("framework-espidf") will return '1.1.0+sha.c9646ff'. In that string, c9646ff is the Git commit hash for v4.3.

However, this causes get_original_version to return None:

def get_original_version(version):
    if version.count(".") != 2:
        return None
    _, raw = version.split(".")[:2]
    if int(raw) <= 99:
        return None
    if int(raw) <= 9999:
        return "%s.%s" % (raw[:-2], int(raw[-2:]))
    return "%s.%s.%s" % (raw[:-4], int(raw[-4:-2]), int(raw[-2:]))

@klvnptr That’s a separate issue, wherein you can’t actually use an ESP-IDF branch directly. Instead you have to make a fork that contains a package.json.

That’s always been the case, though it’s not really documented anywhere.

Do you have a working example somewhere which could be used for reference? I’m new to platform.io and this would help a lot. Thanks.
