class ArduinoOTAClass' has no member named 'getCommand'

[tiestvangool]

Team,

I am unable to compile the firmware for the ESP8266 using Platformio. After downloading the ArduinoOTA, I consistently receive the error log below, can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
-Tiest

This is because PlatformIO ships with outdated libraries.
I just ran into this again after setting up a new laptop.
What I did was adding a lib_extra_dirs to the PlatformIO platformio.ini project file like:

[env:nodemcuv2]
platform = espressif8266
board = nodemcuv2
framework = arduino
lib_deps =
  SPI
  OneWire
  DallasTemperature
lib_extra_dirs = /mnt/data/PlatformIOProjects/MeshPirClient/lib_esp8266

Inside this lib_esp8266 dir I have a folder called ArduinoOTA copied from the latest esp8266 Arduino library (https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree/master/libraries/ArduinoOTA)

This is discussed on the Platform.io Community. Quote:

That is not our problem. Need to wait when new version of Arduino Core for ESP8266 will be released. Nevertheless, you can use temporary "development" version:

http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/platforms/espressif8266.html#using-arduino-framework-with-staging-version70

#3020 is a duplicate of this issue.

#2445 added getCommand many years ago.
