Platformio.ini lib_deps constantly -> No such file or directory

PlatformIO IDE
1

Hi,

I’m sharing below the configuraiton file as well as the output from the build, which constantly returns No such file or directory, even though the file is there, any idea how to solve it?

platformio.ini :

[env:esp32]
platform  = espressif32@2.0.0
board     = pico32
framework = arduino

build_flags = 
  -D VERSION="0.0.1"
  -D VERBOSE
  ;-D CALIBRATE

monitor_speed = 115200

board_build.partitions = default_ffat.csv

lib_deps =
  arduino-libraries/ArduinoHttpClient@0.4.0
  PubSubClient@2.8

lib_extra_dirs = ${PROJECT_DIR}\..\

Verbose build:

> Executing task: C:\Users\lbisp\.platformio\penv\Scripts\pio.exe run --verbose --environment esp32 <

Works perfectly fine for without the lib_extra_dirs = ${PROJECT_DIR}\..\ directive and a minimal code

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <ArduinoHttpClient.h>

void setup() {}
void loop() {}

Please recreate a minimal project as I have above and check if you cannot compile that project either.

As you will notice from the build log, other libraries are called, including <RTClib> from my ${PROJECT_DIR}\..\

<RTClib> 1.12.2 (D:\untrol.io\10. Open Source\RTClib)

Yes, but did you try with a minimal example as I’ve shown above?

I suspect the ${PROJECT_DIR}\..\ is a problem because I see it compile your main project file as iot_plant_watering_sensor_esp\main.cpp but the project is also included itself as library in

|-- <iot_plant_watering_sensor_esp> (D:\untrol.io\10. Open Source\iot_plant_watering_sensor_esp)

You may also try the way through

lib_deps =
  arduino-libraries/ArduinoHttpClient@0.4.0
  PubSubClient@2.8
  RTClib=file://D:\untrol.io\10. Open Source\RTClib

Hi,

The minimal example compiles, what puzzles me is that the error did not happen with the other library, PubSub for example.

Thanks for the tip, the following works:

lib_deps =
  arduino-libraries/ArduinoHttpClient@0.4.0
  PubSubClient@2.8
  RTClib=file://D:\untrol.io\10. Open Source\RTClib
