(ESP8266) ArduinoOTA compiles in Arduino IDE but not Visual Micro

I've ensured I have Python 2.7.x and bonjour installed but the error is still the same. I have tried on Visual Studio 2017 and 2019 and made sure Visual Micro is up to date. I'd appreciate any help on the matter, thank you.

The build output is attached to this post.

The build error occurs on entering this code in my setup function:

Code (C++)
Select All
	// OTA
	ArduinoOTA.onStart([]() {
		Serial.println("Start");
	});
	ArduinoOTA.begin();


I have made sure to include the "ArduinoOTA.h" and "ESP8266mDNS.h" headers. The full file containing the code is also attached if necessary.

Thanks for the info

Does it compile if you switch the toolbar from debug to release?

If not then please post the verbose output from the arduino ide. that can be enabled using "file>preferences>compile verbose"

Thanks

Thanks for the reply,
It does not compile if I switch to release and gives the same error.

I've attached the Arduino IDE verbose build output to this message.

Adafruit_GFX was installed from the official library manager so it's from here (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-GFX-Library)

Adafruit_ILI9341esp was taken from the source zip files found here (https://nailbuster.com/?page_id=341)

Ahh! I finally got it to work but unfortunately I don't know why it works which isn't very helpful for you but I'll retrace my steps for making it work here:

1. Reinstall ESP8266 Core by cloning the git directory (I was previously using release 2.5.0 but I noticed PolledTimeout.h had errors and was missing some functions - oneshotMs)

2. Deleted local installations of ArduinoOTA and ESP8266mDNS so that it would use the versions provided in ESP8266 core instead

3. Cleaned my build

Now it builds successfully but unfortunately I have no idea why it worked in Arduino IDE but not Visual Micro. Sorry. Let me know if there's anything I can provide which might help.

They were in the default directory that the Arduino IDE installs libraries. In my case: C:\Users\dhjay\Documents\Arduino\libraries

Thanks, I will look into it. This is the location where your downloaded libs are saved as opposed to the location of libs that are installed with the arduino ide. The user installed location as you have said is "sketch book folder\libraries" which is normally mydocuments\libraries.

I will look into why arduino was giving priority to the libraries in the hardware package folder. The original idea of the skeytchbook\libraries folder to be able to override the pre installed versions. Obviously not the case in some instances we will look into it.


Thanks again for the report.
