Getting Errors In Source files of FirebaseArduino.cpp and FirebaseHttpClient_Esp8266.cpp while verifying Code.

[usamaalpp]

Whenever I try to run my code I get this Error. I searched a lot about this error but all in vain. Here is the error: Arduino\libraries\firebase-arduino-master\src\FirebaseArduino.cpp: In member function 'String FirebaseArduino::push(const String&, const ArduinoJson::JsonVariant&)': Arduino\libraries\firebase-arduino-master\src\FirebaseArduino.cpp:65:54: warning: ISO C++ forbids converting a string constant to 'char*' [-Wwrite-strings] 65 | int status = req_.get()->sendRequest(host_, auth_, "POST", path.c_str(), buf);

Is there any solution for it? I have tried my best but this error is not sorting.

[Anshul-13J]

Got any solution yet?

[nmktad]

I need solutions asap

[gowthamoo3]

me too getting the same

To solve this problem, try to downgrade your esp3266 board from latest to 2.7.4.

[TrickSumo]

In case anyone face same problem in future, downgrading ESP8266 board and ArduinoJSON library is only option as of now (September 2023). Steps to do same:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3Xb9GB9SI8
