Platform io is not detecting lib_dep library. VSCode extension

jking · April 29, 2025, 3:37am

Hello, I have a platform.io project which have been working wonderfully until now. Then I wanted to add a new logs library called Elog and now it is not detecting the library.

This is my platformio.ini

The author of the library did not update the version in the registry.
You can use the github version instead

Additionally, this library requires Espressif Arduino Core version 3.x.

To get the latest Espresif Arduino version 3.2 you have to use the pioarduino-fork of the espressif32-platform. Simply change the platform setting to:

platform = https://github.com/pioarduino/platform-espressif32/releases/download/54.03.20/platform-espressif32.zip

Hello, sorry for not answering sooner.

This was indeed the problem, I was able to solve it. Thank you

Unfortunately my project is using an old version of espressif32, so that doing that change in platform messes all my project. I switched to other log library

I will take this into account for other projects though.
