Unable to compile HTTPClient for ESP32 (BSP 2.0.4)

[brentru]

The latest ESP32 BSP (2.0.4) increases the compiler warn level in which causes compilation with this library to fail due to the following errors:

  cc1plus: some warnings being treated as errors

The -Werror=logical-not-parentheses warning has been fixed in the latest master branch (here) as of commit https://github.com/arduino-libraries/ArduinoHttpClient/commit/9a5afdfc741a35ec18a71295c508c1142391ec09, but this fix has not yet been released.

@per1234 @aentinger - Could you please cut a new release for this library?

[brentru]

@per1234 Hi - what's the status on cutting a release from master as this is still impacting ESP32 BSP 2.0.5?

[per1234]

Hi @brentru. My role in this project is more on the triage end of things. I am not in a position to decide about making releases.

Perhaps one of the project's other maintainers will be able to answer your question.

Regards, Per

@per1234 Thank you for the clarification! Is @Rocketct the sole maintainer? If so, @Rocketct - could you please cut a new release?

I find this or a similar problem with 2.0.9. Has a version of the fix been implemented in a release?

For platformio users change the dependency to (current) latest commit:

- arduino-libraries/[email protected]
+ https://github.com/arduino-libraries/ArduinoHttpClient.git#6dc486747820d6544b41747c68c6b748f888d661

[aentinger]

Done, see here.

Sorry, I haven't really gotten much to do with this library either, however from my general knowledge I consider it safe to release a new version.
