Wifimanager: Error with include order in docs

[SeanBannister]

In README.md it lists the order of the includes as:

#include <DNSServer.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>
#include <WiFiManager.h>

I had to change this to:

#include <DNSServer.h>
#include <WiFiManager.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>

To avoid the following error:
error: 'WiFiClient' does not name a type

[tzapu]

this is how i have it in all my sketches

#include <DNSServer.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>
#include <WiFiManager.h>        //https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager

not working for you ?

[SeanBannister]

As soon as I change it to that I get the following errors (but by switching them it works fine):

what arduino ide are you using?

[SeanBannister]

I was running Arduino IDE 1.6.7 so I upgraded to 1.6.8 but I'm still experiencing the same issue.

ESP8266 core for Arduino - 2.1.0
WifiManager - 0.10
Windows 8.1 Pro

[tzapu]

hi, do you include ESP8266WiFi.h after those 3 includes when it errors?

[SeanBannister]

No, but here's the simplest example that causes the error:

#include <DNSServer.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>
#include <WiFiManager.h>

void setup() {
  WiFiManager wifiManager; 
  wifiManager.autoConnect("test", "12345678");
}

[tzapu]

try adding this on top of all those

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

[SeanBannister]

That works :) thanks for your help.

Maybe this could be added to the readme.md?

[tzapu]

ok, thanks
i should probably add it then if it s not clear

cheers

[tzapu]

i ve added this now, thanks
