I am trying to set up over the air updates(OTA) updates using the example within the ESP-IDF framework library in PlaformIO. The ota simple_example main.c file imports a .h file called esp_http_client.h. esp_http_client imports another .h file called http_parser.h which is where the function http_parser_init is defined. I am building this project in PlaformIO in VScode so I checked the c_cpp_properties.json and both the http_parser.c and http_parser.h directories were included. I noticed that sometimes there are bugs with the c_cpp_properties file so I also included the the http_parser.h file directory in the platform.ini file.

I also run into the error:

undefined reference to http_parser_execute

undefined reference to http_parser_url_init

undefined reference to http_parser_parse_url

which are all functions found in the http_parser.h file

Here is the code for the main.c file that I'm using

    initialise_wifi();
    xTaskCreate(&ota_example_task, "ota_example_task", 8192, NULL, 5, NULL);
}

The http_parser.h: file

The esp_http_client: file

I don't understand where I'm supposed to define these functions when they are defined in the esp_parser.h file or what I'm supposed to do to not get this error.

I had the same problem.

I solved it by compiling the program without PlatformIO.

https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/get-started/

Here are the guide to install the toolchain.
