MQTT default disabled?

[jonofmac]

I'm building 0.7.0-rc7 from source because it's the only version that works with my board (makerfabs s3 tft 35 SPI).

I'm having an issue where no matter what I seem to enable, mqtt is reported as being disabled. Is this a bug or something in my config that needs to be turned on? Searchign through the obvious confgiuration files, I see no mention of mqtt outside of predefining the client settings.

Edit:
I found inside of _esp32.ini that under lib_deps, knolleary/PubSubClient@^2.8.0 was commented out. I uncommented it and then recompiled it. So it does indead appear that mqtt client is default disabled, but uncomented this did not enable the client for me...

I see pubsubclient in the build dependencies

What does your configuration of the MQTT Settings look like? The MQTT Client only gets configured if the MQTT server and port are set.

The Pubsub client library is not needed anymore, since 0.7.0 we use the esp_mqtt client instead.

I modified the user_config_override.h file to include my full mqtt broker settings.

Then I uncommented the use config override note in platformio_override.ini

However, on a fresh boot, my mqtt settings in the web app are not fully populated:

If I manually retype all the settings, and press save, mqtt is still shown as disabled.

• The settings in the firmware are only used as defaults when there is no filesystem detected. Erase the whole flash and they should be applied at next boot.
• If you save the settings, you still need to soft reboot the plate using the 'Reboot Device' button. Hard powering off/on the device will not work.

That was it! Thank you. First board I got specifically to try to learn openhasp so I forgot that detail :)

mqtt is now reporting that it's connected and appears to be publishing messages now.
