Problem Description

Description of SPIFFS file system is wrong (https://github.com./esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/doc/filesystem.rst):

"SPIFFSConfig" has to be replaced by "FSConfig", otherwise the compiler will throw the error:

'SPIFFSConfig' was not declared in this scope

Please change the description or edit definition in FS.h

No, that won't work and the existing example is right. The code compiles fine. Maybe you're missing a #include <FS.h> in your code? It's required to do any filesystem work:

#include <FS.h>
void setup() {
  SPIFFSConfig cfg;
  cfg.setAutoFormat(false);
  SPIFFS.setConfig(cfg);
}
void loop() {
}

gives

Sketch uses 296503 bytes (28%) of program storage space. Maximum is 1044464 bytes.
Global variables use 27528 bytes (33%) of dynamic memory, leaving 54392 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 81920 bytes.

No. Clean install of core 2.5.2 on Windows 7 and Arduino 1.8.9 throws this message when trying to compile your code:
`#include <FS.h>

void setup() {
SPIFFSConfig cfg;
cfg.setAutoFormat(false);
SPIFFS.setConfig(cfg);
SPIFFS.begin();

}

void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}`

However, replacing SPIFFSConfig with FSConfig, compiles well. Anyway, I hope this is going to help others running into the same issue.

Very odd. I will try a 2.5.2 clean install. In any case, the current GIT head is fine.

The problem with passing in a FSConfig is that it doesn't have the right header and I believe the code will return an error and ignore any settings therein.

So, unfortunately, your suggestion will compile fine but won't actually work.

I'll update after I get the 2.5.2 toolchain installed/tested.

[earlephilhower]

Yup, you're right that the 2.5.2 release has a bug but it's not that it doesn't define SPIFFSConfig, its that it doesn't have a using fs::SPIFFSConfig; in <FS.h>

The correct solution, on 2.5.2 only, is to use fs::SPIFFSConfig cfg instead. Only that change will work properly.

GIT head is fine, so this has already been fixed. Don't pass in a FSConfig. It will compile, but if you check the return code you will find that it returns false and fails. Only use fs::SPIFFSConfig.

#include <FS.h>
void setup() {
  fs::SPIFFSConfig cfg;
  cfg.setAutoFormat(false);
  SPIFFS.setConfig(cfg);
}
void loop() {
}

Actually, darn it, GIT head also seems wonky. Good catch and thanks for following up!
