Unable to compile project on ESP32 board

[dblencowe]

Hi there,

I'm trying to implement this project on a M5Stack Core2 (ESP32) board, but am having issues compiling the code. Would love some input or debugging tips!

Error:

Project Code

#define LCBURL_MDNS
#include <M5Core2.h>
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <Fetch.h>

const char* ssid = "";
const char* password = "";
const String apiAddress = "";
const String apiToken = "";
const String hostname = "ESP32";

IPAddress localIp;
#define CACert ""

void setup() {
  M5.begin();
  Serial.begin(115200);
  WiFi.setHostname(hostname.c_str());
  setupWifi();
  Serial.println("Local IP: " + localIp.toString());


  RequestOptions options;
  options.method = "GET";
  options.caCert = CACert;
  
  Response response = fetch("https://api.github.com/", options);
  
  // Printing response body as plain text.
  Serial.println();
  Serial.println(response.text());
}

void loop() {
  
}

void setupWifi() {
   WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
   WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
   Serial.print("connecting to wifi..");
   while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    Serial.print('.');
    delay(1000);
  }
  Serial.println("");
  Serial.print("RRSI: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.RSSI());
  localIp = WiFi.localIP();
}

Currently compiling on version 1.8.15 of the Arduino IDE, using an Intel Macbook

Thanks!

Hi.
I had the same issue.

Solved by manually updating LCBUrl library (it is a subfolder of FETCH lib).
Updating LCBUrl lib from arduino IDE will not work, because it's used as standalone lib inside Fetch.

@mauromorello could you expand on this a bit? Where are the new files which you update them with?

[mauromorello]

I know that in the last month a lot of upgrades comes both with espressif board and arduino IDE and I noticed that a library called LCBUrl had received an upgrade too. Unfortunately a old copy of this lib is used inside FETCH lib, and in this way, if the author doesn't upgrade all FETCH lib it never work again.

So what I've done is updating manually the LCBUrl file (the ones highlighted) by copying new version grabbed in github LCBUrl project in the FETCH subfolder.

By the way, this is not the best solution, and if FETCH is not still maintained maybe it's better to use another library.

Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying!

I apologize I've been off for a while. I realize there's been some upgrades due. I'll add them asap and publish the new release.
