Compile issues. - Githubissues

Mal-Oldis commented 5 months ago

I have been using the CTBot lib for some years now without problems. All of a sudden I get many compile failures. First failuer on line 80 CTBotReplyKeyboard.cpp , button["text"] = URLEncodeMessage(text); I have an error 'button' was not declared in this scope. ctBot ver 2.1.11. Compiler is Programino V 2.0 I am also getting some errors from Arduino 2.x and 1.x regarding JSON. Also arduinoJason v7.0.1. Any help much appreciated. I am a bit of a newbie at c++. Background is Assembler.

Winding back arduinoJson to V6.1x salved the problem. CTBot needs to update their library to accomodate arduinoJson 7.xx

Hello Mal-Oldis, thank you for using the library and for your feedback. Actually, as reported in the GitHub page of the CTBot library, it works only with ArduinoJSON version 6.19.4 and lower. Managing compatibility with all the ArduinoJSON versions is not an easy task (5.x, 6.x and now 7.x) and Benoit Blanchon (the owner of ArduinoJSON) often break the backward compatibility. My suggestion is:

if you don't need the last version of ArduinoJSON, downgrade the system library (with Arduino Library manager, for example) to 6.19.4
if you need the latest version of ArduinoJSON for other project compatibility, use the ArduinoJSON as local library (downloading in a different folder and pointing it modifying all the include paths) - you have to modify the CTBot library files.

Cheers,

Stefano
