very angry, "esp_wifi_set_config cannot convert 'esp_interface_t' to 'wifi_interface_t'"

Okay guys, what the hell are you doing to your programming interfaces?

Given this code:

Code: Select all

int WiFiManager::connect(const char *ssid, const char *password)
{
    Debug_printf("WiFi connect attempt to SSID \"%s\"\n", ssid == nullptr ? "" : ssid);

    // Only set an SSID and password if given
    if (ssid != nullptr)
    {
        // Disconnect if we're connected to a different ssid
        if (_connected == true)
        {
            std::string current_ssid = get_current_ssid();
            if (current_ssid.compare(ssid) != 0)
            {
                Debug_printf("Disconnecting from current SSID \"%s\"\n", current_ssid.c_str());
                esp_wifi_disconnect();
                fnSystem.delay(500);
            }
        }

        // Set the new values
        wifi_config_t wifi_config;
        memset(&wifi_config, 0, sizeof(wifi_config));

        strlcpy((char *)wifi_config.sta.ssid, ssid, sizeof(wifi_config.sta.ssid));
        strlcpy((char *)wifi_config.sta.password, password, sizeof(wifi_config.sta.password));

        // Debug_printf("WiFi config double-check: \"%s\", \"%s\"\n", (char *)wifi_config.sta.ssid, (char *)wifi_config.sta.password );

        wifi_config.sta.pmf_cfg.capable = true;
        ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_set_config(ESP_IF_WIFI_STA, &wifi_config));
    }

    // Now connect
    _reconnect_attempts = 0;
    esp_err_t e = esp_wifi_connect();
    Debug_printf("esp_wifi_connect returned %d\n", e);
    return e;
}

I am now getting this compile error with the latest IDF:

What is happening? The error is nonsensical.

Fix is:

I love it when things change just because.

Has the problem been fixed for you? I just updated to the latest master branch but still receiving the error

It is not just because. ESP-IDF is updated and every major change has some breaking code changes. All such changes are described here:
https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/releases

From your last link i am guessing you are using platformio, so you should be "very angry" on PIO maintainers.
