Using SPIFFS and Inkplate.h does not work

[michaelotto]

If I use Inkplate.h and FS/SPIFFS in the same sketch, like this

#include "Inkplate.h" // Include Inkplate library to the sketch
#include "FS.h"
#include "SPIFFS.h"

I get a namespace clash error:

../Arduino/libraries/InkplateLibrary/src/include/../libs/SdFat/FatLib/ArduinoFiles.h:122:7: error: redefinition of 'class fs::File'
 class File : public FatFile, public Stream {

How can I use SPIFFS and display related functions in the same sketch?

Can you please provide the code in question?

The bug is probably beacuse there is a class with the same name in the Inkplate library, I'll add a define or something where you can make the compiler ignore it.

#include "Inkplate.h"
#include "SPIFFS.h"

void setup() { }
void loop() { }

=>

SPIFFS and Inkplate.h are still not useable together. Is this a conflict with the SD library similar to the conversation in this thread?

[brandonroots]

Found a solution here for the conflict between File class defined in FS.h and SD that does not require any changes to the Inkplate library.

As shared by luc-github there is a define for this to be used before header call in the Arduino sketch:
#define FS_NO_GLOBALS #include <FS.h>

then you must add namespace fs for SPIFFS objects like
fs::File currentfile = SPIFFS.open("/myfile.txt", "r");
but for SD no need :
File textfile = SD.open("/myfile.txt", FILE_READ);

This resolves the conflict

Thank you for this! It ended up being the first useful result in my search for an answer to this problem.
