Build fails in Visual Micro but passes on Arduino - ESP8266 (RESOLVED IN LATEST RELEASE)

When running the build (esp8266\hardware\esp8266\2.4.1) and I include the following line :

t_httpUpdate_return ret = ESPhttpUpdate.update(uri);

It fails with the following output:

ESP8266HTTPClient.cpp.o*: In function HTTPClient::clear()

Error linking for board NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)
ESP8266HTTPClient.cpp:53: undefined reference to base64  encode(String, bool)
Debug build failed for project 'Firmware'
 
ESP8266HTTPClient.cpp.o*: In function HTTPClient::beginInternal(String, char const*)
ESP8266HTTPClient.cpp:53: undefined reference to base64  encode(String, bool)
 
collect2.exe*: error: ld returned 1 exit status

When I remove that line mentioned above, the build succeeds.

When running the same code base on PlatformIO (tool-scons @ 2.4.1), everything works fine.

I'm a bit lost of this.

Hi

I see you have Debug build enabled

Please switch to Release mode then try the build.

If it still fails then confirm the following:-

1) Does the project build in the arduino ide? which version have you installed?

2) Switch on vmicro>compiler>verbose and "show build properties". Then build and post the output as .txt or email it to info[at]visualmicro.com with link to this post.

Thanks

I have got version 1.8.5 of the IDE installed, which compiles sucessfully:

Sketch uses 468633 bytes (44%) of program storage space. Maximum is 1044464 bytes.
Global variables use 49780 bytes (60%) of dynamic memory, leaving 32140 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 81920 bytes.

I have emailed the output. Its probably going to be something really mundane.

Thanks for the files.

I see you are using Visual Micro 1805.14. There has been some releases since then, one which makes a new build feature in 1805.14 optional. Please download from the visual studio gallery or via tools>extensions and updates>updates

If there is a still an issue, then in the arduino ide, please enable "file>preferences>verbose compile". Then build and email the output from the arduino build.

If you don't mind zipping and emailing your project so I can reproduce that would also speed things up. You could would  be kept private and deleted after the tests.

Thanks very much.

Boom! The update fixed it. It must have been some sort of weird linker issue.  

My VS wasn't showing that an update was available. I had to physically go down the rabbit hole to find it.

Thanks for taking the time to have a look at it. I really do appreciate it.

Great. 

That's the new feature that allows source files in the local project to override library files that have the same name.

The option is now off unless enabled on vmicro>compiler menu.

The visual studio notification system is annoying. You might find it useful to keep an eye on working in progress by subscribing to notifications in the new release forum thread.

Will do! 

P.S. The serial monitor in the dark theme is a nice touch.

Thanks, long overdue themeing for the monitor but all the visual micro windows need to change to WPF so they can inherit vs colors automatically and handle high dpi better.
