No such file or directory "Wifi.h and WiFiClientSecure.h" with Chain+

I am trying to add WebSocket to my ESP32 project, but unfortunately the compiler fails. Following is the error message I get:

I am using PlatformIO IDE, below is my platformio.ini (the important part):

[env:esp32_dev]
framework = arduino
platform = espressif32
board = esp32dev
platform_packages = 
	; Uses new tool chain with a non-released Arduino package to be able to compile with C++17 (C++17 may become the default in the future, therefore this may be soon not necessary).

Could anyone please help me to get it compiling? I am not sure what is wrong, because my project compiles as long as I do not add WebSocket library to it.

UPDATE:

Well, I have a new finding, changing lib_ldf_mode from chain+ to chain makes the project compiles. What is going wrong here? I need to use chain+. I believe this used to work in my ESP8266 projects.

Hm chain+ should work if it correctly evaluates stuff.

Does this happen with the latest core version to? (CLI and pio upgrade --dev).

If yes, please file a bug in Issues · platformio/platformio-core · GitHub with also a minimal code exampel to reproduce the issue.

The flow should be

It’s via two macros but it should be able to detect it – if not it’s a point of improvement and a bug report is needed per above as said.

Exactly, but unfortunately it does not (even after pio upgrade --dev). Then I am gonna report a bug.

Thank you Max!

UPDATE:

I reported the bug here:
