Problem:
Compilation error on SPIFFSIniFile.h library, see following error message from the Arduino IDE compiler

In file included from C:\Users\rj\Documents\Arduino\libraries\SPIFFSIniFile\src\SPIFFSIniFile.cpp:1:0:
C:\Users\rj\Documents\Arduino\libraries\SPIFFSIniFile\src\SPIFFSIniFile.h: In member function 'bool SPIFFSIniFile::open()':
C:\Users\rj\Documents\Arduino\libraries\SPIFFSIniFile\src\SPIFFSIniFile.h:130:10: error: 'SPIFFS' was not declared in this scope
_file = SPIFFS.open(_filename, _mode);
^

The inclusion of the SPIFFS.h file is needed for using one of its functions in line 130: _file = SPIFFS.open(_filename, _mode);

Solution:
manually add one line for including SPIFFS.h library in the SPIFFSIniFile library

1. search following library source code file:
   \SPIFFSIniFile-1.0.0\src\SPIFFSIniFile.h

2. open in text editor

3. insert: #include "SPIFFS.h" after line 9 #include "FS.h" as follows:

use line 9 and following in SPIFFSIniFile.h like this:

#include "FS.h"
#include "SPIFFS.h" // additional line inserted for including missing SPIFFS library
#include "IPAddress.h"

instead of original line 9 and 10 in SPIFFSIniFile.h:

#include "FS.h"
#include "IPAddress.h"

Hello Yuri,

Would mind investing 30 to 45 minutes into some basic documentation?
Your demofile uses FS.h. Fpr using SPIFFS there is the library SPIFFS.h
Are they compatible with each other?

There is a small note inside the example
"Remeber to upload the data directory to your board!"

Does this mean that the library SPIFFS-Ini has a hardcoded filepath "\data" ??

How would I create a subfolder?

if yes why would you do that? IMHO it is up to the user to take care if he is accidently formatting his SPIFFS or not

Do you happen to know another example that does the following things additionally?

• create a subfolder "dat" (if really nescessary)
• write content of an inif-file using SPIFFS-commands (to avoid uploading something with additional tools)

best regards

Stefan

I use the available files. Its telling me that the file exists but it 'ini file /net.ini not valid: seek error'
