Errors when compiling ESP32, "error: 'size_t Print::write(const char*, size_t)' is inaccessible within this context"

PlatformIO IDE

Hi everyone ! I’m new here.

I have been using platformIO for my esp32 with no problem for months. But today I needed to change WifiClient to WifiClientSecure because our server got SSL, so i just added #include <WiFiClientSecure.h> and changed the WifiClient client line to WifiClientSecure client

Then this error occured when compiling;

When I revert back my changes to plain old WifiClient everything compiles.

The function that generates the error;

.
.
  WiFiClientSecure client;
  client.setInsecure();
.
.
      written = client.write(fileBuffer, toRead);
      log_d("%d", written);
      delay(100/portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
    }
.
.
  client.stop();
  delete[] fileBuffer;
  file.close();
  return true;
}

My includes;

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <esp_task_wdt.h>
#include <driver/i2s.h>

#include "sos-iir-filter.h"

#include <WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClientSecure.h>

My platformio.ini;

What may be the issue? Though it was some include + platformio.ini stuff that’s why I posted it here in this “PlatformIO IDE” category.

Can you add a cast to const uint8_t* on fileBuffer to make sure it matches the signature

Wow, amazingly simple solution thanks a looot. So a simple overload problem?. It has compiled succesfully but there is now another problem. The WifiClient verison was using about 80% flash, but now with this WifiClientSecure version it uses about 90% flash. Is it the library?

Probably. If you want detailed answers you’ll have to use the PlatformIO Inspect tool for memory or load the .pio/build/<env>/<project>.map files into amap to compare the before and after memory usage in detail.

Wow again, didn’t know that tool existed. Thank you again so much. Sorry about this question being turned into a C++ question.
