Description
Extension version
0.6.9
OS & version
Ubuntu 24.10
Describe the bug
It's not possible to program a board using Arduinos OTA update functionality.
It seems, that the default "Uploader" instead of the network programming tool is called.
(In my case, im using an ESP32)
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- On
Maker Workshop Homeselect the Board - Ensure programmed device (e.g. ESP32) has an valid OTA-Sketch loaded
- Refresh
Upload Portlist - Select found OTA device
- In VSCode press
Upload
Expected behavior
Update should be done via OTA/Network
In my case of ESP32, the esp_ota tool (part of ESP32 Board Manager Lib) should be called, instead of the default esptool
This could be found in the boards definition file .upload.tool.network=esp_ota instead of .upload.tool=esptool_py
Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.
TTGO T-Watch is an ESP32 based watch.
Outputs
Include outputs from the "Arduino CLI" output window and the "Arduino Extension" output window.

As we can see, the upload is trying to use the esptool.py, which loads sketches via Serial Port.
Output Log, when uploading a sketch via Serial Port (in my case /dev/ttyACM0):

For me, it looks like the "normal" upload command is (wrongly) executed, when trying to Upload via OTA update.
Instead of specifying the Serial Port, the text from the Upload Port dropdown is used there.
So the Serial-Loader-Tool could not find the serial port "svWatch at 192.168.1.127".

/dev/ttyACM0 is the Serial Port to the ESP32 watch, when connected.
Uploading a sketch via this Serial Port is working fine.
