Build fails with libraries that are git repositories

[aphelps]

I'm making strides to converting my code base to build on platformio, but it seems to not be able to use a library that's within a git repo (ie which I've cloned from elsewhere). I took a look in the platformio line that generated this error, but its not clear to me what the root cause is:

$ platformio run
Processing arduino_nano environment:

scons: *** '/Users/amp/Dropbox/Arduino/HMTL.platformio/HMTL_Module/.pioenvs/arduino_nano/FastLED/refs' already has a source directory: '/Users/amp/Dropbox/Arduino/libraries/FastLED/.git/refs'.
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/platformio/builder/tools/platformio.py", line 142, in VariantDirRecursive

Give me please a structure of your project. Go to project root dir and type tree -L 3.

Please test it with the latest develop version:

$ pip uninstall platformio
$ pip install https://github.com/ivankravets/platformio/archive/develop.zip

Does it work for you?

Yeah, that fixed the issue. Thanks.

@ivankravets, your suggestion worked for me, too. i'd be glad to have this fix mainstream

$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ivankravets/platformio
$ cd platformio
$ pip install -e .
$ pip install --egg scons

@gretel Thanks a lot for your feedback. We are hardly working on the first stable release 1.0.0. PlatformIO has not been released as stable yet. You can monitor by active issues for 1.0.0 milestone here or follow us via Twitter @PlatformIO_Org.
