Global platform.txt

[fabianoriccardi]

Hi all,
I was using the global platform.txt, (the one stored at path/to/your/app/hardware/platform.txt) to execute some custom prebuild hooks. I was working until I updated to Arduino IDE version 1.8.10. I switched back to version 1.8.9 and the hooks work as usual. Is it changed something in Arduino toolchain management?

@cmaglie I think this is related with the switch of arduino-builder to CLI
@fabiuz7 can you provide here the exact setting you were overriding and the expected result? Thanks!

Actually I used that file for the following configuration:

recipe.hooks.sketch.prebuild.1.pattern=git-version.bat {build.source.path}/src {build.path}/sketch/src

Which is a small script to embed GIT tag in source code. More detail

I can observe that this script is never run.
