RFH: Can't connect to BLE device.

[aovestdipaperino]

ESP32, arduino platform. I have a task blocked on connect and a different task (watchdog) that would kill the connect one after time out. Basically something like the example here

I think the device is not properly behaving and the log shows:

[V][BLEClient.cpp:97] connect(): >> connect(ef:2d:1e:49:30:46)

*** timeout (TASK KILL) happens here ****
*** the following events follow immediately the TaskKill ***

[V][BLEUtils.cpp:951] gattClientEventTypeToString(): Unknown GATT Client event type: 41
[D][BLEDevice.cpp:148] gattClientEventHandler(): gattClientEventHandler [esp_gatt_if: 4] ... Unknown
[V][BLEUtils.cpp:951] gattClientEventTypeToString(): Unknown GATT Client event type: 41
[V][BLEUtils.cpp:1283] dumpGattClientEvent(): GATT Event: Unknown

Suspicious: the part where gattClientEventHandler [esp_gatt_if: 4] ... Unknown Also suspicious: event type 41 (ESP_GATTC_DISCONNECT_EVT) right immediately after the task::kill. If the client never connected, why it's observing disconnection? Possible race condition due to BLE device mis-behaving?
