the mdns record is

= wlp58s0 IPv4 esp8266-f0e0c7                                _arduino._tcp        local
   hostname = [esp8266-f0e0c7.local]
   address = [192.168.1.113]
   port = [8266]
   txt = ["tcp_check=no" "ssh_upload=no" "board="ESP8266_WEMOS_D1MINILITE"" "auth_upload=no"]

since auth_upload is not read too, IDE 2 opens the password dialog. IDE 1 doesn't ask for password.

@JAndrassy by any chance have you tested with the Arduino CLI too? This could probably be an issue with it.

@JAndrassy by any chance have you tested with the Arduino CLI too? This could probably be an issue with it.

with CLI (bundled with IDE) it works. the port is provided. (but asks for password too)

juraj@nuc:~/arduino-ide_2.0.0-rc3_Linux_64bit/resources/app/node_modules/arduino-ide-extension/build$ ./arduino-cli upload /home/juraj/Documents/Arduino/BasicOTA -p 192.168.1.113 -l network -b esp8266:esp8266:d1_mini_lite -v

I have found the same issue under Windows 64; again the CLI workaround works.
I have not yet set a password on the board, and CLI demands one. Entering gives Authentication Fail, but entering a dummy password Authenticates.
BTW, would fixing the Port declaration issue to allow IP format also address #770, to allow empty Port numbers?

[octoplayer2]

Any sign of a fix for this? - I was using the CLI workaround, but when I upgraded to CLI 0.21 the OTA authenticates, but then says it cannot get a response from the device.. So I have reverted to 1.18.16, as I need the OTA.

Issue is that Port properties are being lost in the IDE, because in between the code it has been mapped to a different Port structure that does not even have properties object (the one that holds network port and so on).
Here is an example of what config is given to upload:

CLI in a mean time gives the following boards to the IDE:

The "bad" Port class interface is here: https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/blob/main/arduino-ide-extension/src/common/protocol/boards-service.ts#L145 It is part of CoreService.Upload.Options which is given to doUpload here: https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/blob/main/arduino-ide-extension/src/node/core-service-impl.ts#L130

I just could not trace how/where it was turned into that offending Port interface and lost all properties.

[per1234]

I can still reproduce the issue with 2.0.0-rc9.2-snapshot-9e2b73a and esp8266 platform version 3.0.2

[bartgrefte]

@per1234 Is earlephilhower/arduino-pico#1728 (comment) the same as this? I'm running into this as well, see the comment after that. Arduino IDE 2.3.2

edit: Downgrade to 1.8.13 and problem is gone.

[zeroalphagit]

Any fix for this its happening for me on Arduino IDE 2.3.2 and esp8266 when attempting to do OTA upload

espota.py: error: option -p: invalid integer value: '{upload.port.properties.port}'

[JAndrassy]

@zeroalphagit with what version of the esp8266 platform?

[zeroalphagit]

@zeroalphagit with what version of the esp8266 platform?

I am using: Arduino IDE 2.3.2 with ESP8266 3.1.2 Library.

I'm getting the same error (espota.py: error: option -p: invalid integer value: '{upload.port.properties.port}') on an older nodemcu (esp8266) and a newer Wemos D1 mini with ESP8266EX
