Hey, big noob here so I apologize in advance if it sounds silly.
For context, I’m working with the Paxcounter code, and I’m currently modifying the code to adapt it to a specific use case. I’m using PlatformIO IDE on Vscode and Arduino framework.
I first uploaded the original Paxcounter code to my TTGO T-Beam v1.1 dev card and it worked completely fine. Then, I modified the code and now it does not compile anymore. When checking for errors, something strange happens…
When using the pio check --skip-packages command on both the original Paxcounter code and the one I modified, they both have the same errors! However only the original Paxcounter code builds successfully… How is that possible ? I can clearly see the errors in the Build console from the modified code, but my question is why are they not displayed when using the check command?
Note: the line numbers might not correspond for the payload.h file, but that is because I added some content in it. The lines are referring exactly to the same content.
