bad argument #1 to 'config' (config table not found!)

[kingdevnl]

The example code on the Website gives me this error: bad argument #1 to 'config' (config table not found!)

The lua code:

wifi.setmode(wifi.STATION)
wifi.sta.config("SSID","password")
print(wifi.sta.getip())

I download the firmware from the Cloud build site

Another one for #1010 ... and http://nodemcu.readthedocs.io/en/master/en/modules/wifi/#wifistaconfig

The reason people keep stumbling on this one is because the example by @kingdevnl
is the first thing we see on the official website while the updated docs tell a different story.

From the official website:

print(wifi.sta.getip())
--nil
wifi.setmode(wifi.STATION)
wifi.sta.config("SSID","password")
print(wifi.sta.getip())
--192.168.18.110

And from the docs:

station_cfg={}
station_cfg.ssid="NODE-AABBCC"
station_cfg.pwd="password"
station_cfg.save=false
wifi.sta.config(station_cfg)

At some point the API must have changed and the main page was never updated.
I ran into this issue today.
Perhaps we can re-open this issue until the main page is fixed?
