Detecting wifi loss during Loop...

[richiejarvis]

Hi - Thanks for this great library. I've just started playing, and would like to force the ESP32S to reboot automatically if it is not connected to wifi. I looked at the src and saw that in line 971 you are returning a boolean, not a bool. See arduino/Arduino#4673

I'll gen a Pull Request once I've sussed it out. I was trying to do this in my code:

  if (iotWebConf.checkWifiConnection) {
    // do something
  }

Is there a better/easier way that you are aware of?

Cheers,

Richie

IotWebConf/src/IotWebConf.cpp

Line 971 in 7745fcb

boolean IotWebConf::checkWifiConnection()

Thank you for your comment. I always have used boolean as I always thought, that both bool and boolean are just aliases for uint8.

See method setWifiConnectionHandler() for detecting connection failures. Example: IotWebConf09CustomConnection

Thank you for the quick reply. Yeah, it threw me out till I found that post! I also discovered my error as well - I had not included the all important () after the function call. The call went through the if statement then. I realise now that the bool vs boolean was a red-herring - oops! sorry!

Feel free to ditch the PR - it isn't needed now I've fixed my code. It was an interesting tangent for me personally though.

Soz to bother...

Cheers,

Richie
