Bug Report

This is a minor thing, maybe not even an issue but the expected behavior. When I run lib list -b command without any libraries and any cores installed, I always get a 0 exit code. However, when I have at least one user library installed, but still no cores, I always get a non-zero, 1 exit code. This feels inconsistent.

Current behavior

Expected behavior

I would expect to have 1 exit code with a similar error message (platform x:y is not installed) when no user libraries and no cores are installed.

Environment

  • CLI version (output of arduino-cli version): arduino-cli Version: 0.13.0 Commit: 693a045
  • OS and platform: macOS Catalina (10.15.6 (19G2021))

Additional context

If this is the expected behavior, please close the issue with a remark. Thank you!
