Description

Specifying an explicit release version of wolfSSL library instead pulls a preview version.

Note the current wolfssl version (as of this issue date) is 5.7.2, but there are several preview versions of 5.7.4 available:

Note that when running pip install -U idf-component-manager broke my ability to install the examples:

To Reproduce

Fetch a new [wolfssl example](https://components.espressif.com/components/wolfssl/wolfssl/versions/5.7.2/examples?language=en), specifically the `wolfssl_client` using this command.


idf.py create-project-from-example "wolfssl/wolfssl=5.7.2:wolfssl_client"

Change directory into wolfssl_client.

Run idf.py build

Note the version of wolfSSL pulled is not the release 5.7.2 specified, rather the most recent preview version: 5.7.4-preview1e:

### Expected behaviour

only the explicit version of the managed component library should have been used.

[igrr]

@gojimmypi could you please add, what does the main/idf_component.yml file of that example look like? Interested in how you are specifying the dependency on wolfSSL component there.

[gojimmypi]

Hi @igrr - thanks for taking a look at this.

TLDR: my release 5.7.2 examples have an undesired version ^5.6.6-Stable-Preview1 text but I would have still expected the most recent release version after that to be used. Instead, I see the most recent preview is used, version: 5.7.4-preview1e.

I would think (hope) under all circumstances, that when pulling anything other than an explicit preview version (e.g. 5.7.4-preview1e), that any specified release version (e.g. 5.7.2) should never pull in a newer preview by default.

I think this is what I understand from the Compatible Major Release Clause docs.

With the updated version of the component manager, trying to fetch explicit wolfSSL version v5.7.2 in the wolfssl_client example, I see the text version: ^5.6.6-Stable-Preview1 in the fetched main/idf_component.yml file:

idf.py create-project-from-example "wolfssl/wolfssl=5.7.2:wolfssl_client"
$ cat wolfssl_client/main/idf_component.yml
dependencies:
  idf:
    version: '>=4.1.0'
  wolfssl/wolfssl:
    version: ^5.6.6-Stable-Preview1

But instead, the resulting version in the example project dependencies.lock file is version: 5.7.4-preview1e of wolfssl:

dependencies:
  idf:
    source:
      type: idf
    version: 5.2.0

The contents in my dist\wolfssl_5.7.4-preview1e.tgz\idf_component.yml file that was created during publish is confirmd correct: version: 5.7.4-preview1e:

version: 5.7.4-preview1e

The respective dist\wolfssl_5.7.2.tgz\idf_component.yml is confirmed to have a similar value: version: 5.7.2 in the last line.

Examples

The contents of dist\wolfssl_5.7.4-preview1e.tgz\examples\wolfssl_client\main\idf_component.yml is this:

## IDF Component Manager Manifest File For Examples
dependencies:
  wolfssl/wolfssl: "^5.7.4-preview1e"
  ## Required IDF version
  idf:
    version: ">=4.1.0"
  # # Put list of dependencies here
  # # For components maintained by Espressif:
  # component: "~1.0.0"
  # # For 3rd party components:
  # username/component: ">=1.0.0,<2.0.0"
  # username2/component2:
  #   version: "~1.0.0"
  #   # For transient dependencies `public` flag can be set.
  #   # `public` flag doesn't have an effect dependencies of the `main` component.
  #   # All dependencies of `main` are public by default.
  #   public: true

and in dist\wolfssl_5.7.2.tgz\examples\wolfssl_client\main\idf_component.yml is this, which appears in this case was my bad in that the publishing script has the wrong version in the examples 5.6.6-Stable-Preview1:

## IDF Component Manager Manifest File For Examples
dependencies:
  wolfssl/wolfssl: "^5.6.6-Stable-Preview1"
  ## Required IDF version
  idf:
    version: ">=4.1.0"
  # # Put list of dependencies here
  # # For components maintained by Espressif:
  # component: "~1.0.0"
  # # For 3rd party components:
  # username/component: ">=1.0.0,<2.0.0"
  # username2/component2:
  #   version: "~1.0.0"
  #   # For transient dependencies `public` flag can be set.
  #   # `public` flag doesn't have an effect dependencies of the `main` component.
  #   # All dependencies of `main` are public by default.
  #   public: true

And so yes, I see that I'm the one that specified the "this version or newer" in the component examples, but in the case where I wanted to test an explicit version, I would have expected that specific version.

Perhaps it would be best for me to remove the older preview versions altogether?

Do you think it is a best practice that instead of using the ^ version specifier, that instead I only use the ~ for the examples and let the end user choose to include newer versions automatically or not?

[igrr]

I think it is a reasonable expectation that when an example of a component of a particular version is requested, the example should use the component of that specific version, even though a newer version is available. While it's possible to achieve this behavior by always pinning the dependency version in the examples and updating it in sync with the component version, it makes the release process more complex.
We'll discuss this internally and get back to you!

[gojimmypi]

I think it is a reasonable expectation that when an example of a component of a particular version is requested, the example should use the component of that specific version, even though a newer version is available.

Yes, I agree.

Suggestion: is it possible for the receiving component publisher to scan the incoming source code and enforce this? For example, as I noted above, I incorrectly included a bad component requirement in the respective example main/idf_component.yml file for the 5.7.2 release. It would have been preferable to have the publish fail.

While considering inbound processing side, I also suggest enforcing all version text to be lower case. For example, my 5.7.4-Preview1a seems to have ended up with a mix of some instances of Preview1a converted to lower case preview1a. My publishing script now does this on my side.

it makes the release process more complex

Do you have an example? I would think that simply changing the enclosed example main/idf_component.yml files would suffice?

Each enclosed example app idf_component.yml would be the exact same version as the component, with just a different version character: ^ vs =, eh?

dependencies:
  wolfssl/wolfssl: "^5.7.4"

vs

dependencies:
  wolfssl/wolfssl: "=5.7.4"

Thanks again for taking a look at this. Cheers.

[hfudev]

Hi @gojimmypi Here I'll explain why and provide a possible workaround.

The version solver is picking up preview versions, since preview version is declared in the version spec

dependencies:
  idf:
    version: '>=4.1.0'
  wolfssl/wolfssl:
    version: ^5.6.6-Stable-Preview1  # <-- here

if you want to pick only released versions, you may update the version spec to

dependencies:
  idf:
    version: '>=4.1.0'
  wolfssl/wolfssl:
    version: ^5.6.6  # <-- here

and after you call rm dependencies.lock && idf.py build, the released version will be picked

...

NOTICE: Processing 2 dependencies:

...

I also agree on the released version shall always be picked first, unless defined prerelease: true aside. Will deal with this issue internally.

[gojimmypi]

Thanks @hfudev and @igrr - all good suggestions.

I've pinned the source code of the examples to a specific published version:

Component Publish Date

Here's another Component Manager curiosity, probably not worthy of an issue of its own: incorrect "updated [n] days ago" text.

Just now (lunchtime, Dec 13) I published the wolfSSL 5.7.4-preview1f. However, when visiting that page, there's an indication that it was published 6 days ago:

Note the correct date stamp on the tgz file.

I think that prior publish events had an accurate updated [n] days ago text.

Surely I cannot control that date. A local web server date problem?

Binary Size Difference with ESP-IDF v5.3

This latest release, I also used ESP-IDF v5.3 instead of 5.2. Note there's a substantial increase in binary size:

Hi @gojimmypi, thank you for bringing our attention

Component Publish Date

This is a regression, since refactoring 4 months ago, the date of component creation was frozen on app load, not when a component is created. Because we usually update code quite often, it stayed unnoticed for some time. Fix is made, should be deployed soon.

as it has the leading ^

As the first step to improving the situation, we will change ^ to = for the create-project-from-example command.

Hi @kumekay -

Fix is made, should be deployed soon ... will change ^ to = for the create-project-from-example command.

sounds great, thank you!

How's the staging site doing? I thought my most recent version of wolfSSH preview was working.

https://components-staging.espressif.com/components/gojimmypi/mywolfssh/versions/1.4.19-preview1a

Now I cannot even add another library such as "esp_jpeg", they all claim to be not found:
