SPIFFS failed!. Please use LittleFS or EEPROM. Stay forever about espasync_wifimanager

[Petermarcu]

FYI - The version of the ESP32 core was the issue. Glad you noticed that. I didn't realize that the package config I was using wasn't the latest. It only had versions up to 1.0.6. After updating to 2.0.3 things just worked.

You have to check, step-by-step

• your hardware
• update to ESP32 core v2.0.3 (it seems you're using old ESP32 core)
• test littlefs / file system to be sure OK before using this library

I suggest next time you post the problem on Discussions, not Issues if it is not a bug of the library.

I'm closing the issue now as not a bug.

Good Luck,

[Petermarcu]

Thanks. Will do that next time and will follow your suggestions.
