I have installed the ESP-IDF 4.3 version and the headers error still remain, did you solve this another way?

As mentioned earlier, this happens because Thingboard isn't following the MQTT specifications.

If you want to change the header check to match Thingboard's headers you can try to apply the diff I've attached. Go to the esp-mqtt folder in your project and do

Code: Select all

git apply PATH_TO_THINGBOARD_HEADERFIX

UPDATE: I came up with an idea to avoid the header problem.

I found that the headers are compared/analysed in a function called: int mqtt_has_valid_msg_hdr(uint8_t *buffer, uint16_t length)
which is located in $HOME/esp/esp-idf/components/mqtt/esp-mqtt/lib/mqtt_msg.c file.

Code: Select all

int mqtt_has_valid_msg_hdr(uint8_t *buffer, uint16_t length)
{
    int qos, dup;

    if (length < 1) {
        return 0;
    }
    switch (mqtt_get_type(buffer)) {
    case MQTT_MSG_TYPE_CONNECT:     //0x10
    case MQTT_MSG_TYPE_CONNACK:     //0x20
    case MQTT_MSG_TYPE_PUBACK:      //0x40
    case MQTT_MSG_TYPE_PUBREC:      //0x50
    case MQTT_MSG_TYPE_PUBCOMP:     //0x70
    case MQTT_MSG_TYPE_PINGREQ:     //0xC0
    case MQTT_MSG_TYPE_PINGRESP:    //0xD0
    case MQTT_MSG_TYPE_DISCONNECT:  //0xE0
        return (buffer[0] & 0x0f) == 0;  /* all flag bits are 0 */
//-----------------These are the headers that i had problems------------------
    case MQTT_MSG_TYPE_SUBACK:      //0x90
    case MQTT_MSG_TYPE_UNSUBACK:    //0xB0
        if ((buffer[0] & 0x0f) == 0)
        {
          return (buffer[0] & 0x0f) == 0;
        }
        else if ((buffer[0] & 0x0f) == 0x02)
        {
          return (buffer[0] & 0x0f) == 0x02;  /* only bit 1 is set */
        }
        else
          return 0;
//--------------------------------End of my "solution"---------------------------------
    case MQTT_MSG_TYPE_PUBREL:      //0x60
    case MQTT_MSG_TYPE_SUBSCRIBE:   //0x80
    case MQTT_MSG_TYPE_UNSUBSCRIBE: //0xA0
        return (buffer[0] & 0x0f) == 0x02;  /* only bit 1 is set */
    case MQTT_MSG_TYPE_PUBLISH:     //0x30
        qos = mqtt_get_qos(buffer);
        dup = mqtt_get_dup(buffer);
        /*
         * there is no qos=3  [MQTT-3.3.1-4]
         * dup flag must be set to 0 for all qos=0 messages [MQTT-3.3.1-2]
         */
        return (qos < 3) && ((qos > 0) || (dup == 0));
    default:
        return 0;
    }
}
Basically what i did is adding the headers that i receive (assuming they are correct) and filtered them as correct.
Now the problem is that the message is not published, it's supposed that it passes the headers problem but looks like is not working the publish function itself.

PS: In order to check the headers i changed the code from $HOME/esp/esp-idf/components/mqtt/esp-mqtt/mqtt_client.c in the function static int mqtt_message_receive(esp_mqtt_client_handle_t client, int read_poll_timeout_ms) and added this lines:

Code: Select all

/*
         * Verify the flags and act according to MQTT protocol: close connection
         * if the flags are set incorrectly.
         */

        ESP_LOGE(TAG, "buf=0x%x y buf_type = 0x%x", *buf, mqtt_get_type(buf));
        
        if (!mqtt_has_valid_msg_hdr(buf, read_len)) {
            ESP_LOGE(TAG, "%s: received a message with an invalid header=0x%x", __func__, *buf);
            goto err;
        }
I hope someone comes with an idea of how to fix this problem of publish in Thingsboard
This solution I proposed also works, not sure if opening a pull request on github or just doing the change "under your own risk" if you have to, but definitely this is not solved by changing the IDF version.

Hopefully Thingboard will fix this issue on their end soon: https://github.com/thingsboard/thingsboard/issues/1668. I don't think we will accept any PRs to fix this unfortunately, as there is nothing to fix on the IDF side. Adding a workaround to the codebase just because some other library doesn't follow the specification is a bad idea IMO.
