WiFi.softAP doesn't seem to honor ssid or password

[develpr]

I'm using the "staging" build.

I'm using the example sketch provided here in the repo which when run should result in a AP being created with a particular name, and secured with a password.

Instead, the AP is created with a generic SSID ("ESP_XXXXXXX") and w/o a password.

I'm guessing it doesn't matter, but this is on a ESP-12E.

See #1254

Silly question maybe, but I'd guess staging would have the latest fixes? Will this be pushed to the stagingrelease/ tag sometime, or should that branch not be used?

[igrr]

Yeah, staging will get updated shortly.

Awesome! Is there any documentation about which features are available in staging vs stable? Somebody recently told me that i should be using staging buy obviously it send to behind in certain bug fixes?

You can check git tags 2.0.0 and 2.0.0-rc2 and commits between them. Also see docs:
http://esp8266.github.io/Arduino/versions/2.0.0/
http://esp8266.github.io/Arduino/versions/2.0.0-rc2/

Awesome! I'll RTFM ;) - thanks again, and sorry for the duplicate issue (I looked but somehow missed the duplicate issue!)

Still having this issue that the AP is open. The SSID is being showed now. But that mybe only works because I tried to create an open AP by purpose as I omitted the password argument. Now after I added the password again it shows the AP but still as open and not secured :/

I have version 2.3.0 through board manager

my Sketch:

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h> 
#include <WiFiUdp.h>

/* Set these to your desired credentials. */
const char *ssid = "artex11";
const char *password = "getme";
WiFiUDP udp;

void setup() {
    delay(4000);
    Serial.begin(115200);
    Serial.println();
    Serial.print("Configuring access point...");
    /* You can remove the password parameter if you want the AP to be open. */
    WiFi.softAP(ssid, password);
  IPAddress myIP = WiFi.softAPIP();
  Serial.print("AP IP address: ");
  Serial.println("AP online!");

  Serial.println("Setting up UDP Listener...");
  udp.begin(11);
  Serial.printf("UPD listeing on %s:%d\n", WiFi.softAPIP().toString().c_str(), 11);


}

void loop() {
  int packet = udp.parsePacket();
  if(packet){
    Serial.printf("got one...");
  }

}
