Schema not defined for key 'sketchbook_path' / `monitor` command now requires FQBN `-b ...`

[brightproject]

Describe the problem

I used version 0.35.3
Updated to 1.0.0...
Now the utility’s performance has become poor during compilation, as it actually writes with any command
schema not defined for key 'sketchbook_path'
Compilation seems to work, but it takes much longer than before - this work in Windows.
Port monitor command

PS C:\Windows\system32> arduino-cli monitor -p COM12 -c baudrate=230400

displays this error

schema not defined for key 'sketchbook_path'
Please specify an FQBN. The board on port COM12 with protocol serial can't be identified

The download also seems to work, but I don't understand what has changed and how to fix it.
When updating software there is always a chance to break something, and you guys managed to do it.
Reverted to stable version 0.35.3

To reproduce

Command:

arduino-cli compile -b STMicroelectronics:stm32:GenF4:pnum=BLACKPILL_F411CE C:\Users\Documents\Arduino\libraries\Test\Test.ino

schema not defined for key 'sketchbook_path'

arduino-cli version

schema not defined for key 'sketchbook_path'
arduino-cli  Version: 1.0.0 Commit: 05c9852a Date: 2024-06-12T14:13:22Z

Expected behavior

Without comments

Arduino CLI version

1.0.0

Operating system

Operating system version

10 Pro

Additional context

No response

Issue checklist

• I searched for previous reports in the issue tracker
• My report contains all necessary details
• I verified the problem still occurs when using the nightly build

You probably have the key sketchbook_path defined in your arduino-cli.yml configuration file.
That key is incorrect, the correct key is directories.user, for example in my arduino-cli.yaml:

directories:
  user: /home/cmaglie/Arduino

The directory set in sketchbook_path is ignored by the CLI, the message is just a warning.

Port monitor command

PS C:\Windows\system32> arduino-cli monitor -p COM12 -c baudrate=230400

displays this error

schema not defined for key 'sketchbook_path'
Please specify an FQBN. The board on port COM12 with protocol serial can't be identified

In this case the error is telling that you must specify the board with -b STMicroelectronics:stm32:GenF4:pnum=BLACKPILL_F411CE, because it can not be automatically detected via USB vid/pid.

The board is required to determine the initial settings for RTS/DTR.

When updating software there is always a chance to break something, and you guys managed to do it.

Breaking changes are to be expected until the CLI was in alpha/beta state. The version number 0.x.x is for that starting period where the API is not well defined and it's subject to breaking changes as we refine the user interface.

To reduce the impact on the users we decided to put all the breaking changes on the 1.0.0 release now. After this release, it can be considered stable and other breaking changes should not be expected anymore until the 2.0.0. Of course, there may be bugs, or unexpected changes from users coming from 0.x.x, but hopefully this should but the last time we involve our users into unexpected breaking...

BTW, the error message could be surely improved, so thanks for your bug report and your patience :-)

I expected to use the utility as before after the update, i.e. in the usual way.
But as a result, do I need to configure something, learn new commands and flags?
Previously, to use a port monitor, it was not necessary to specify the board's FQBN, and now I see no reason to do this.
I'm not outraged, I'd just like to understand how the update was carried out...
It is surprising that earlier versions were minor and indeed no problems were visible, although the operation of the utility was improved from version to version.
Now there is a global change and immediately to 1.0.0 and it turns out that the paradigm of using the utility has changed?

[brightproject]

Yes, it need flag -b

arduino-cli monitor -b STMicroelectronics:stm32:GenF4:pnum=BLACKPILL_F411CE -p COM12 -c baudrate=230400

Perhaps the reason is a missing schema.

schema not defined for key 'sketchbook_path'

And the utility cannot detect USB/COM ports.
But again, before the update everything worked without problems.

How to use this feature?

Get default port address and protocol from sketch profile using monitor -s by @MatteoPologruto in #2329

arduino-cli monitor -s C:\Users\Documents\Arduino\libraries\examples\sketch\sketch.ino

Error

    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (monitor:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

It is also not clear how to use the debug functionality

debugger: Enforce programmer selection by @cmaglie in #2394

and

debugger: Allow optional programmer in debug command by @cmaglie in #2544

In general, I have long wanted to be able to get the compilation time, in addition to the report, because... In Windows the compilation speed is very slow.

After compilation, the sketch uses 39740 bytes (7%) of device memory, leaving 524288 bytes total available. Global variables use 1704 bytes (1%) of dynamic memory, leaving 129368 bytes for local variables. Maximum: 131072 bytes.

And in general, there is a way to increase the speed of firmware assembly, even in Windows?
I would not regret donations for such an update!

Yes, thanks @per1234.

BTW, besides the other requests for help, I confirm that the monitor command has indeed changed behavior, the -b wasn't required in 0.35.3. I'll check this in the coming days.

Hello @cmaglie
To eliminate the appearance of the inscription during compile code

schema not defined for key 'sketchbook_path'

I just commented out the line

sketchbook_path: /home/User/Arduino

in the arduino-cli.yaml file

Reopen because not fixed completely yet.
