setID is not working.

[SergeSkor]

have long time using project with ElegantOTA, it works good on ver 2.2.4 Today have decided to add setID() functionality, and find out /update page became stuck, always spinning the circle under the page header. Micro is still working, no crash. Have removed setID() - /update works again. btw, have updated to newer versions, esp8266 crashed disregarding with no setID() or without, seems like it is another bug.

Have left my project with old 2.2.4 version without setID(). :-(

[SergeSkor]

I have played a little bit with ElegantOTA.h (version 2.2.4) editing directly getID() function. _String getID(){ String id = "";

if defined(ESP8266)

            id = String(ESP.getChipId()); // <<--- editing this line!
        #elif defined(ESP32)
            id = String((uint32_t)ESP.getEfuseMac(), HEX);
        #endif
        id.toUpperCase();
        return id;
    }_

It fails when not decimal digits are included in mentioned line. When I have substitute id=String("123456"); - it works ok, But with id=String("12345A"); - it endlessly rotates the circle when going to /update.

@SergeSkor I'll get back to you with a fix. Are you willing to test out some changes?

Sure! Seems like extra quotes required, server->send(200, "application/json", "{\"id\": \""+String("\"65432A\"")+"\", \"hardware\": \"ESP8266\"}"); is working well.

Please checkout this branch: https://github.com/ayushsharma82/ElegantOTA/tree/id-fix This is a fork for v2.2.7, please look out for 3 things:

1. See if the ESP8266 crash is fixed
2. Check if the webpage loads fine with the default ID
3. Check if the webpage loads fine with custom ID ( setID() ).

I think it's more related to how ID is generated at the initialization.

Still crashed on ESP8266, whenever with default ID or with setID("123456").

Eh Okay... What does the ESP exception decoder say?

[SergeSkor]

Continue to play with 2.2.4 version, which is not crashing on esp8266. Seems like these minor fixes are working to allow setID () with non-digit characters.

    void setID(const char* id){
            _id = String("\"") + id + "\"";   //was: _id = id;
        }

       String getID(){
            String id = "";
            #if defined(ESP8266)
                id = "\"" + String(ESP.getChipId()) + "\"";    //was: id = String(ESP.getChipId());
            #elif defined(ESP32)
                id = String((uint32_t)ESP.getEfuseMac(), HEX);
            #endif
            id.toUpperCase();
            return id;
        }

Hmm interesting. With your fixes in place, can you go to this URL: http://<your esp IP>/update/identity and paste the response here?

Actually, due to fact old version (2.2.4) is working well with default ID, fixing getID() function is kind of extra, just for consistency, to always have quotes. But setID() is needed in order to accept non digital ID.

[ayushsharma82]

I'm so puzzled right now haha. The escaped quotes are already there before the /identity/response response string concatenates. After concatenation, I don't know where the hell they are gone.

I'll check this with my ESP later on. Also, We will have to work on getting the latest commit fixed because the whole codebase was refactored with v2.2.5

Just add another pair of quotes, haha :-). Ok, sure, will help as much as I can. For now will stay with 2.2.4 with my fix...

[ayushsharma82]

Hi @SergeSkor,

Pushed some commits to the id-fix branch. I've got the example running, but can you test it with your code as well?

Thanks for the help!

[SergeSkor]

Seems like it works, thank you! Did not really test filesystem update, have updated firmware only, it was no problem. SetID() is also working correct.

[ayushsharma82]

@SergeSkor Thanks for testing! I'll merge it soon.

[ayushsharma82]

Merged. Release: https://github.com/ayushsharma82/ElegantOTA/releases/tag/2.2.8
