LDF Bug, can't find dependency during build phase but manually installs fine

Libraries

esp8266-google-home-notifier has a dependency esp8266-google-tts and both are registered libraries, but for some reason pio cannot find the dependency in the build phase, only if it is installed manually. See output.

Not sure why its not fetching the dependency automatically.

Could you share platformio.ini? Have you declared dependencies in Redirecting...?

Yep, this is what I was using (which usually works)

; PlatformIO Project Configuration File
;
;   Build options: build flags, source filter
;   Upload options: custom upload port, speed and extra flags
;   Library options: dependencies, extra library storages
;   Advanced options: extra scripting

This library was registered using Arduino’s library.properties which does not support dependencies. I’ve just sent PR Bump version to 1.0.6 by ivankravets · Pull Request #8 · horihiro/esp8266-google-home-notifier · GitHub

Let’s wait when it will be merged.

Sounds good, but that seems a bit strange since pio acknowledged that the dependency existed, but failed to look it up even though it existed.
