Can't install in arduino

[iplayfast]

Describe the bug
try to install into arduino ide,
The ide sees the library, but when I click install I get error message
"Failed to install library: 'ESP-StepperMotor-Server:0.4.12'. No valid dependencies solution found: dependency 'ArduinoJSON' is not available"

Environment
Arduino

[pkerspe]

Did you install ArduinoJSON before?

the same problem：

[Zanacks1]

Same, tried several versions of ArduinoJson 6.x, 7.x, couple of betas.. No Joy..

[rafik24]

Same here, tried on arduino IDE and vscode/platformio and I can say there is no way to build a running code.

The best I had is arduinojson throwing a lot of warnings which I interpret more as errors and the esp32 boards crashing on startup.

I used esp-idf 5.3.2 if it can help but after several trials, library versions and all as per the install instructions nothing works unfortunately.

Please provide details on the errors you get in VSC/ PlatformIO

Hi pkerspe,

I get a lots of warnings from arduinojson, the code compiles but I get this mediation guru error on several kind of ESP32 boards.

Thank you,
Rafik

Those are not warnings but a kernel panic resulting in the esp32 to reboot.
The panic seems to occur while accessing the SPIFFFS to load a config.
Bit there is also an error in some ipaddress class.
Two things:
Please post your main.cpp file
Please verify you actually have formatted your spiffs and uploaded a config file in there

I wanted to report thank deleting platformio and ESP-IDF extensions in VSCode, then uninstalling vscode and deleted all remaining folders I managed to get up and running.

You were right, it seem like the SPIFFS image that was downloaded had an issue somehow and nothing would help other than deleting all and re-installing.

While vscode/platformio make things simpler they are really a pain to troubleshoot when something goes wrong :-)

Many thanks for your support pkerspe and the amazing project you built !

All the Best,
Rafik
