Micropython V1.14 Problem

Post by joker12 » Mon Feb 08, 2021 9:28 pm

Hi,

I've been using Micropython v1.13 for some time and use webrepl to program the board using Thonny v3.3.3.
This is the code in my boot.py:

import esp
esp.osdebug(None)
import network
wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
wlan.active(True)
wlan.connect('xxxxx', 'xxxxx')
wlan.isconnected()
import webrepl
webrepl.start()


I uploaded Micropython v1.14 and set it up the same way and enabled webrepl. The board crashes when it reaches wlan.active(True).

Has anyone else had a problem with the new version?

I reverted back to 1.13 and everything is fine again.

I'd would be helpful if you add details of the crash from the console.

And if the debug level doesn't impact the crash, I'd suggest raising it.

If it's a brownout, you need to provide more power.

Thanks for the reply.
I've installed version 1.14 on 3 ESP32's.

Tried running webrepl in Thonney with the following result on each one:

WebREPL connected
>>>
Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Programs\Thonny\lib\site-packages\websockets\protocol.py", line 827, in transfer_data
message = await self.read_message()
File "D:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Programs\Thonny\lib\site-packages\websockets\protocol.py", line 910, in read_message
return frame.data.decode("utf-8") if text else frame.data
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x80 in position 0: invalid start byte

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Programs\Thonny\lib\threading.py", line 926, in _bootstrap_inner
self.run()

File "D:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Programs\Thonny\lib\site-packages\thonny\plugins\micropython\webrepl_connection.py", line 123, in _ws_keep_writing
await self._ws.send(payload)
File "D:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Programs\Thonny\lib\site-packages\websockets\protocol.py", line 555, in send
await self.ensure_open()
File "D:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Programs\Thonny\lib\site-packages\websockets\protocol.py", line 812, in ensure_open
raise self.connection_closed_exc()
websockets.exceptions.ConnectionClosedError: code = 1006 (connection closed abnormally [internal]), no reason


It looks like something in Thonny is broken by the new version.

Power is fine.

I then reinstall version 1.13 and it always works:

WebREPL connected
>>> MicroPython v1.13 on 2020-09-02; ESP32 module with ESP32
Type "help()" for more information.

Joker, this problem has been reported at https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/6912.

Next Thonny version (hopefully released by the end of this week) will include a work-around.

A regression was introduced in Thonny 3.3.4 (object evaluation in the REPL gave too short capped repr-s). A fix is now published in 3.3.5: https://github.com/thonny/thonny/releases/tag/v3.3.5
