I am finalizing a blog on the advantages of PlatformIO but must admit I am a bit in the dark…
I am very much able to deploy firmware on my NodeMCU-v2 devices - Lua or C based but cant get any example to work with PlatformIO. I download an example into the src directory and execute the command ‘pio run -nodemcuv2 -t upload’ command but always get the same error:
src/main.cpp: In lambda function:
src/main.cpp:35:20: error: ‘class ArduinoOTAClass’ has no member named 'getCommand’
if (ArduinoOTA.getCommand() == U_FLASH)

Althous my library version of framework-arduinoespressif8266 is 1.20300.1 the ArduinoOTA.h and ArduinoOTA.cpp files seem to be from an older version (?) that doesn’t have getCommand defined.
That is not our problem. Need to wait when new version of Arduino Core for ESP8266 will be released. Nevertheless, you can use temporary “development” version:
Let me check the link Ivan just provided to see whether I can resolve the problem. I’ll let you know the outcome.
If that does not work I’ll check out the workaround flinkebernt provided.
Tried both options but cannot seem to make this work. @flinkebernt: how did you ‘replace’ the platformio installed files ArduinoOTA.h and ArduinoOTA.cpp?
I don’t see these files. Can you explain what you did to make this work?
I downloaded ArduinoOTA.h in libs and ArduinoOTA.cpp in src but getting new errors:

I would like to present this OTA capability in combination with platformio.org to a potential client… Any thoughts are welcome!
I’ve just tried this example and it works for me fine.

Could you repeat the same on the NON-MODIFIED example?
Figured it out.
I created a subdirectory called ‘ArduinoOTA’ in the Lib directory. Next I copied the ArduinoOTA.h and ArduinoOTA.cpp into the newly created directory and NOT in the Lib directory.
After that pio run works flawless. Thanks for helping out! Great community here.
I’m having this very issue and it seems precisely the same as described above. It’s pulling down library ID “6178” when I add “ArduinoOTA” for an ESP-8266 in the platformio.ini file, however, this is not the correct one as listed here.
So, I “fixed” it, but it feels like something noted a few years ago would have been addressed otherwise by now. Am I all wet?
It’s possible, but is hard to tell since the OP didn’t post their platformio.ini. It looks like it was officially available in v2.4.0 of the core (although it was only mentioned in the v2.4.0-RC1 notes???), meaning post Jan 2018, unless they switched to the staging version.
Since ArduinoOTA is a builtin library, there’s no need to include it in your lib_deps list, and you probably shouldn’t, for exactly this reason - you don’t want PlatformIO to pull down a external library when it’s already provided by the platform+framework combo you’re using.
lol… yes indeed… stuff changes so rapidly with some of these board support packages, that stuff written only six months ago is already out of date! One of the many reasons I love PlatformIO… can use both old AND new versions of libraries, board support packages, etc at the same time, and don’t have to worry about which one I’m using!
