ESPAsyncDNSServer depends on faulty and not maintained library ESPAsyncUDP #108

hunter-nl · 2022-08-23T09:14:06Z

Describe the bug

Since ESPAsyncDNSServer is included in ESPAsync_WIFIManger, I get compile error about missing user_interface.h. This is included into ESPAsyncUDP library, used by ESPAsyncDNSServer. user_interface.h is missing and do not know how to solve this.
ESPAsyncUDP is a very old library and not maintained for many years.
In platform.io and expressif32 framework the AsyncUDP library is builtin. Why still use ESPAsyncUDP library?

Expected behavior

When ESPAsync_WIFIManager is included in my project, the dependencies should compile fine also.

Actual behavior

It does not compile due depending on a very old and not maintained library ESPAsyncUDP.

Information

Platform.io: Core 6.1.4 Home 3.4.3
ESP32 (Espressif 32): 5.1.0

I have something close to what you describe but I don't see any relation with compile error about missing user_interface.h.
I only have .pio/libdeps/esp32dev/ESPAsync_WiFiManager/src/ESPAsync_WiFiManager.hpp:208:10: fatal error: ESPAsyncDNSServer.h: No such file or directory
But can't find any way to make PIO find it.

If my problem is not related to this issue, I also created a discussion about it : #109

nicolas-rabault · 2022-08-23T12:33:10Z

Ok I got It, to get the same error as you I have to remove the lib_compat_mode = strict option.
I think ESPAsyncDNSServer have compatibility issue or something.

nicolas-rabault · 2022-08-23T14:16:27Z

You should have a look here : devyte/ESPAsyncDNSServer#3

khoih-prog · 2022-08-23T16:43:50Z

Hi all,

I suggest you try to use Arduino IDE first. Then move on to PIO when everything is OK.

PIO is still not mature enough for complex use cases, and requires much more knowledge / skills to manually modify the settings.

Post for help in PIO Forum if you still have problem.

I'm closing the issue now, because I just compiled and OK here.

Your PIO settings is wrong somehow. Check

https://github.com/devyte/ESPAsyncDNSServer/blob/119dd3ce1b639a5314aac219cf5a00d29946ea47/src/ESPAsyncDNSServer.h#L4-L11

  #ifndef Stream_h
    #include <Stream.h>
  #endif
  #include <AsyncUDP.h>
#else
  #include <ESPAsyncUDP.h>
#endif

Post for help in PIO Forum if you can't solve.

Getting this error out of the sudden:

ESPAsync_WiFiManager/src/ESPAsync_WiFiManager.hpp:208:31: fatal error: ESPAsyncDNSServer.h: No such file or directory

How happened?

hunter-nl · 2022-08-31T12:48:09Z

platformio.ini can be for example

[platformio]
description = Some project description (ESP32)
default_envs = release

[env]
platform = espressif32
board = az-delivery-devkit-v4
framework = arduino
board_build.mcu = esp32
board_build.f_cpu = 240000000L
monitor_speed = 115200
monitor_filters = esp32_exception_decoder
board_build.partitions = partitions_custom.csv
build_flags =
    -D ARDUINO_ARCH_ESP32

[libs]
builtin =
    SPI
    Wire
    WiFi
    LittleFS
ignore =
    LittleFS_esp32
external =
    bblanchon/ArduinoJson@^6.19.3

[env:release]
lib_deps =
    ${libs.builtin}
    ${libs.external}
	ESPAsyncDNSServer=https://github.com/hunter-nl/ESPAsyncDNSServer
	esphome/ESPAsyncWebServer-esphome @ ^3.0.0
	khoih-prog/ESPAsync_WiFiManager @ ^1.13.0
lib_ignore =
	${libs.ignore}
build_flags =
    ${env.build_flags}
	-D LOG_LEVEL=5

[env:debug]
build_type = debug
lib_deps =
    ${env:release.lib_deps}
lib_ignore =
	${env:release.lib_ignore}
build_flags =
    ${env:release.build_flags}
	-D DEBUG

I've forked ESPAsyncDNSServer for the DEBUG section. Original it is using DEBUG_OUTPUT, but that does not exist. I've changed that into Serial
In my main.cpp file I include the following lines:

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <ArduinoJson.h>
#include <FS.h>
#include <LittleFS.h>

#include <WiFi.h>

#include <ESPAsync_WiFiManager.h>

Then it is working fine for me.

HI @LiveRock

I suggest you try to use Arduino IDE first. Then move on to PIO when everything is OK.

PIO is still not mature enough for complex use cases, and requires much more knowledge / skills to manually modify the settings.

The PIO already has the published library ESPAsyncDNSServer

It's better to post on PIO Forum for help, if you can't find out how to do.

hunter-nl · 2022-09-05T16:38:05Z

@LiveRock the order of the libs in platformio.ini is important. So move ESPAsyncDNSServer before khoih-prog/ESPAsync_WiFiManager@^1.13.0 line

LiveRock · 2022-09-06T03:43:57Z

I re-arranged the sequence as below:

lib_deps = 
	devyte/ESPAsyncDNSServer@^1.0.0
	TaskScheduler
	AsyncTCP
	arduino-libraries/Arduino_JSON@^0.1.0
	bodmer/JPEGDecoder@^1.8.1
	siara-cc/Sqlite3Esp32@^2.3
	boseji/xxtea-iot-crypt@^2.0.1
	;bblanchon/ArduinoJson@^6.18.0
	boseji/PString-Arduino-lib@^3.0.2
	spacehuhn/SimpleMap@^1.0.0
	powerbroker2/SafeString@^4.1.11
	rlogiacco/CircularBuffer@^1.3.3
	bblanchon/ArduinoJson@^6.19.2
	powerbroker2/SafeString@^4.1.15
	bodmer/TFT_eSPI@^2.4.41
	suculent/AESLib@^2.2.1
	densaugeo/base64@^1.3.0
	khoih-prog/ESPAsync_WiFiManager@^1.13.0

Still getting errors after I CLEAN ALL and BUILD.

khoih-prog · 2022-09-06T04:10:51Z

It seems that you still use old broken code, before library updated to use AsyncDNSServer

Replace any references to DNSServer with AsyncDNSServer

Why don't you go back to Arduino IDE to be sure all is OK with your code?

LiveRock · 2022-09-06T04:19:40Z

I didn't go back to Arduino IDE because the project was already working before and suddenly it wasn't. And I use Visual Studio Code daily; so it is preferred. Let me try to replace references from DNSServer to AsyncDNSServer and report back.
Many thanks!

LiveRock · 2022-09-06T04:24:02Z

The DNSServer error is gone but I have a whole lot of similar errors as below:

In file included from src/main.cpp:152:
/Users/peterlum/.platformio/packages/[email protected]+2021r2-patch3/lib/gcc/xtensa-esp32-elf/8.4.0/include/stdatomic.h:40:9: error: '_Atomic' does not name a type
 typedef _Atomic _Bool atomic_bool;

I think it has nothing to do with AsyncDNSServer or ESPAsync_WiFiManager but if someone (khoih-prog?) could help me with this, I would be very very grateful :-)

LiveRock · 2022-09-06T07:25:31Z

No more errors after doing

Thanks!!

hahahaha LMAO, I had been trying for a long time but now it has worked.

Can you update your blog code?

https://stonez56.blogspot.com/2021/07/asyncwifimanager-elegantota-esp8266.html

Really long time, I thought it was all wrong, but it's not.

At the end it was AsyncDNSServer.

thank you.
