BasicWrite example on ESP32 with PIO: esp_arduino_version.h not found

[arnolde]

Hello, I run platformio under Linux and I can program ESP8266 and ESP32 modules ok, so my system is working in general.

When I try to implement the your influxdb client (installed v3.13.1 via platformio library manager) and compile the "basic write" example, I get:

Executing task: platformio run

I already tried adding the option "lib_ldf_mode = chain+" to the platform.ini file, but that didn't help. I also added the #include .

Any other suggestions?

thanks, Ethan

Based on https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/commit/dbefaed1a23902f16b796eaab2bbb5b15080d79c I simply commented out the include in Platform.h and now it compiles.

@arnolde, which version of Arduino Core for ESP32 are you using? It looks like an old one. This header is available since 2.0.

[arnolde]

@vlastahajek frankly, I don't know. Does "- framework-arduinoespressif32 @ 3.10006.210326 (1.0.6) " give a hint? I never cared because everything worked so far. How do I update?

[vlastahajek]

You are definitely using an old platform version (1.0.6). I'm not an expert at PlatformIO, I don't use it much. But this library is compiled on CI using PIOwith the following setup:

platform = espressif32
framework = arduino

It is not sticking to some versions, always uses the latest one.

[arnolde]

To update Arduino Core to the latest revision, please open PlatformIO IDE and navigate to PlatformIO Home > Platforms > Updates.

I did that and now it works out of the box. Thanks for pointing that out to me!
