"node-wifi-mqtt" fails to compile

[thehi1]

I am also trying to compile the file node-wifi-mqtt.ino. The following message appears when compiling (I am using the Arduino IDE 1.8.13):

exit status 1
'SerialDebug' was not declared in this scope

What could be the cause?

Using atom I get the message:

C:/ XXXX PlatformIO/Projects/210502-191434-d1_mini_pro/src/node-wifi-mqtt.ino:955:5: error: 'SerialDebug' was not declared in this scope
     SerialDebug.debug(INFO, "mqtt_connect", "Connecting to MQTT broker");

Thanks in advance

Hi @thehi1,

thank you for writing in.

'SerialDebug' was not declared in this scope

It looks like the "SerialDebug.h" file referenced at line 302 can not be found. Can you look on the Arduino Library Manager for a corresponding library? [1]

With kind regards,
Andreas.

[1] It is https://playground.arduino.cc/Code/SerialDebugger/, actually. You can also find it at https://github.com/hiveeyes/arduino/tree/0.17.0/libraries/SerialDebugger.

You can also get all of the libraries used within the programs into the libraries folder by invoking:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Hi @thehi1,

#33 will now use a different SerialDebug library. Because the SerialDebugger by Arduino referenced above seemed very much outdated, we switched over to another library by Joao Lopes which seems to be amongst the most popular ones when searching on PlatformIO [1].

Please let us know if that actually works. At least, it compiles without errors on my machine when invoking make.

With kind regards,
Andreas.
