Last couple of Mega firmwares don't work anymore

#1 Post by ronald » 01 Apr 2018, 12:43

I noticed that the last few versions of the ESPEasy Mega firmware don't work anymore.
After flashing there is a different SSID, which is called ESP_Easy-0 instead of ESP_Easy_0 (a very subtle difference).
I have not succeeded to enter the login page to setup my own network.
I tried different versions of the ESP, none of them work, at least not with 20180331 and 20180327 versions.
I then tried the older 20180324 version, that one worked right away.
So I guess there must be a problem.

Ah OK, I thought it was an issue with the ESP32 build I had.
See https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/issues/1215

Good to know there is a more 'global' issue with it.

It should be fixed with this Pull Request: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/pull/1220
If someone could test that before merge, that would be nice.

Thanks for the effort!
I would like to, but I don't know where to start. I normally only flash the compiled results.
I did however browse the code you changed and I noticed you did not change the "ESP_Easy-0" back to "ESP_Easy_0". I know that's not the cause of the problem, but why change something like this without any need?
But maybe I'm just not looking in the right place...

It was not my intent to change that, since I changed it to remove the underscore, about a week ago.
But apparently only the '_' between unit name and number, not when the user enters it in the name itself.
It is prohibited to have an underscore in a hostname, even though it often just works.

Yes, we obey the standard by not setting the underscore by default. Whatever the user decides to do is not our "fault" :D
