How to turn on package.json debugging

[Rick Anderson]

Is there a way to turn on error message for debugging a package.json file? I'm running Arduino 1.6.6 from master.

I'm sure there is something wrong with my download url or the signature for my compiler and programmer downloads.  All, I can see is that staging and packages only contain the core file. No messages that say can't find file or signed improperly. I got these message using Arduino 1.6.5.

Hi Rick,

I got the same issue and spent hours understanding what was wrong with my package: comparison with officially listed third-party in github wiki, json file validation, etc...

I finally discovered a wiki page for 1.6.6 telling postfix and prefix file name is mandatory being resp. package_ and _index.json.

This solved my issue but I would follow you in that IDE should tell why it refuses a package given in preferences instead of staying quiet.

PS: the package url in preferences still disallow file:// url, making the validation process a bit more lengthy with needed intermediate uploads to a server.

Thanks. This helps. It matches my experience exactly. Sounds like it's time to file these as issues on github.

Rick,
I created issues 4097 and 4098 to ask for possible improvements.
