Library SD missing, had to add manually.

[brunotacca]

Describe the bug
IDE doesn't install or can't find SD library. I had to download and add it manually at Arduino/libraries. Boards installed:

• Arduino SAMD Boards (32-bits ARM Cortex-M0+) by Arduino (latest)
• TinyCircuits SAMD Boards by TinyCircuits (latest - json) (not needed to reprocude)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Fresh install 2.0.0-beta.7
2. Download the boards mentioned above.
3. Example blink
4. Select any board
5. Include libraries #include <SPI.h> #include <SD.h>
6. Verify

Expected behavior
It should find the SD library as soon as a board is selected. Since it's mentioned here that it's compatible with all boards.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
• Kernel 5.8.0-59-generic
• AMD Ryzen 7 2700X

Additional context

The output I got is that it can't find the SD.h at the places it's looking for.

I might be missing something really dumb since I couldn't find anything related, nonetheless thank you all in advance.

Hi @brunotacca. Thanks for taking the time to submit a bug report.

From classic Arduino IDE, we are accustomed to having a collection of common libraries pre-installed, which includes the SD library. However, Arduino IDE 2.x does not currently come with any libraries pre-installed. So you must install any library your sketch uses. So the error you got is normal and expected.

The Library Manager (Sketch > Include library > Manage Libraries is a convenient way to install any libraries you need.

@per1234 Hello, thank you for your quick response.

I actually have tried to add SD library by the library manager and wasn't able to find it.
Thus, now that you mentioned I went a little deep investigating the libraries showing there and found out what is the problem.

Maybe the Library Manager has a fixed size for results.
When typing "SD" at the search bar, it doesn't show the "SD by Arduino, SparkFun" library.
However, if I increase the terms, like typing "SD Arduino" it appears near the end of the list.
If I may, I would suggest enhancing this feature by making it load more results as the scroll reaches the end.

Nonetheless, thank you very much for your help.
