ESP Async WebServer not working after PIO update

[justin-romano]

just updated platformio using the command pio upgrade It did a whole bunch of stuff then my espressif8266 platform project stopped compiling. Looks like a clash between WiFiClient versions included as dependencies one has

//Modified by Ivan Grokhotkov, December 2014 - esp8266 support

in the comments Error:

.platformio\lib\WiFi_ID870\src\WiFiServer.h:37:14: error: invalid abstract return type for member function 'WiFiClient WiFiServer::available(uint8_t*)'

Reproduction Steps:

• Create new D1 R1 project with Arduino as the framework
• Add "ESP Async WebServer" to the platformio.ini lib_deps like

  lib_deps =  
  Hash
  ESP8266WiFi
  ESP Async WebServer ; not sure why the dependencies are not discovered.

• add #include under #include in main.cpp
• ctl+alt+B to compile this is a new error and was not happening in the version i had before the upgrade of platformio. But as this is framework. I could fix but i want to botch up my project with monkey patches. The platform environment should be fixed.

solution found. uninstalled pio IDE plugin from vscode deleted the .platformio folder from user location reinstalled the PIO plugin in vscode Seemed to solve itself.
