CLI 0.32.1 won't find local platform(s)

[neutrinonet]

I just switched from CLI 0.31.0 to 0.32.1 (issue appears on 0.32.0-rc1) resulting in a build error saying:

Error during build: Platform 'myname:architecture' not found: platform not installed
Platform myname:architecture is not found in any known index
Maybe you need to add a 3rd party URL?

but the hardware directory structure (containing a custom SAMD boards definition) is unchanged and still present in the sketchbook folder.

Also output from core list is different:

Thanks for any help on that.

Same problem even after core caching regression fix (0.32.2)...

Hi @neutrinonet. Sorry for the slow response. Please try running this command:

arduino-cli config dump --verbose

You should see a line in the output with this form that shows the path of the active configuration file:

time="2023-04-20T06:32:40-07:00" level=info msg="Using config file: C:\\Users\\per\\AppData\\Local\\Arduino15\\arduino-cli.yaml"

Does the path of the active configuration file match your expectation?

The reason I ask is because there was a breaking change in 0.32.0 that changes the locations where Arduino CLI will recognize and use a configuration file:

[breaking] fix: remove tree config lookup

The local platform is installed under the path set by the directories.user configuration key. So if you had a custom directories.user configuration set in your arduino-cli.yaml configuration file and that file was no longer recognized by Arduino CLI, that would cause Arduino CLI to revert ot using the default directories.user location, and thus cause your custom platform to no loger be recognized.
