After changing framework: collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Changed a pio project configuration from
framework = arduino
to
framework = espidf
and back.

Now I can#t compile the project any more:

Reinstalled AsyncTCP and AsyncWebswerver, but that didn’t fix the problem.
What’s wrong?

The ESPAsyncWebServer library has still failed to pull in a critical patch to fix this compile error, see

In your platformio.ini you can try and use the fixed library versions:

lib_deps =
   ; fixed ESPAsyncWebserver
   https://github.com/khoih-prog/ESPAsyncWebServer/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

or use a different version of the library that is not from me-no-dev, like

lib_deps =
   esphome/ESPAsyncWebServer-esphome@^3.0.0

I changed not only the framework, but also deleted a library from platformio.ini (esphome/ESPAsyncWebServer-esphome) that was left over from former version :sleeping:

Thank you!
