So, that makes me think there is an issue with the libraries location on your computer. I'm running macos 10.15.7 and arduino 1.8.13 plus the latest dev libraries.
My libraries folder contains exactly the same folders as the dev release (plus some extra code that I created). So it has to be your configuration/setup. Make sure that your Arduino preferences shows the Sketchbook location as:

Code: Select all

/Users/yourname/Documents/Arduino

Mine is:  /Users/binder/ownCloud/Documents/Arduino

Ok, so I just quit Arduino and then emptied the libraries folder. Then I downloaded the entire dev library from GitHub. I moved all those libraries into the /Users/rsweeney/Documents/Arduino/libraries folder. I launched Arduino and verified that the Sketchbook location is set to /Users/rsweeney/Documents/Arduino. I pasted the code you said was successful, then ran the CBTool and it did its thing. Then I clicked the Verify button and got the same exact errors as before. What could I possibly be doing wrong?

Ok. Gonna do a couple more checks.
1. Paste the output of running my tool. It should be something like this: 2. If that looks good, then check out the version of the libraries.
Open up the libraries/ReefAngel/ReefAngel.h file and look for the line #define ReefAngel_Version "...". It will be towards the top, after the comments. Maybe around line 25. It should say this: I'm having you check these because it sounds like the functions are not being enabled. The libraries contain a lot of define statements that remove sections of code that are not necessary or relevant. If the proper defines are not enabled, then the functions won't exist, which is what it sounds like is happening to you.

3. Lastly, check if you have an "update" folder inside your Sketch folder. You already created a "tools" folder in there. I'm guessing that you will need to create the "update" folder. If you do, then you will need to add the features.txt file I have attached to this post. THEN you can re-run my CB Tool to process the sketch and everything should work. If it does, great and my apologies for not having that available for you. I need to fix up the instructions and fix up the plugin to display proper error messages and warnings (that's what I get for just copying the code and not paying attention to it).

After creating the "update" folder and putting the feature.txt file in it, the output of your tool NOW includes:

Those two bold lines were not there before.

And now the code compiles and I was able to upload it to the RA!!!

Curt, seriously, thank you for your assistance. I was just about ready to send this thing back.

I am also a lot to blame. I need to come up with a solid solution for Catalina release.
The background story is that when Catalina was released, Apple locked all 32-bit applications and the avrdude that is responsible for the upload of the code was compiled on 32-bit.
Since then, Arduino has patched the plugin to download the new 64-bit version of avrdude, but the current plugin needs to be updated and the webwizard also needs to be updated.
I had my MacOS VM crash and I just had it rebuilt from scratch, which should allow me to fix this thing now.
@ReeferRyan, would you be interested in working with me on fixing this since you are the first one with Catalina that can actually test things for me?

Awesome! Sorry it took so long to get it figured out. I just "assumed" those missing folders/files existed because they were already there from a previous install.

Yeah, I can help you. Sorry I didn't see this until now. Let me know what you need from me.
