Unable to compile the sketch about super-simple-rgb-wifi-lamp

[LarsMichelsen]

Strange. Trying to create a minimal repro lead me to this:

Super_Simple_RGB_WiFi_Lamp.ion

void setup() {
  a();
}

void loop() {
}

Config.ino

void a() {
}

Results in:

/home/lm/git/lm/brettl/Super-Simple-RGB-WiFi-Lamp/Super_Simple_RGB_WiFi_Lamp/Super_Simple_RGB_WiFi_Lamp.ino: In function 'void setup()':
Super_Simple_RGB_WiFi_Lamp:2:5: error: 'a' was not declared in this scope
   a();
     ^
exit status 1
'a' was not declared in this scope

It works once I add the forward declaration before the setup function:

void a();

Strange. Really seems the IDE fails to add those forward declarations.

i have no idea if #13 is a good solution, for me it fixes the problem anyway

Certainly interesting issues here.

I don't know if because you are using Linux but something may have changed and I haven't heard of this problem from anyone else yet. Although it does seem to be an IDE issue, the solution falls to who ever is writing the sketch. So this is a weird error to patch to say the least.

At this stage i'm not sure that I will just to keep the sketch looking simple to allow more beginner programmers to hopefully follow along. If you have managed to fix your issue in that pull, I will keep it open and potentially merge it in later if the problem persists.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated
