Error including "tracker.h"

I am trying to access the Tracker::instance() (to use the location object)

but got an error the moment i added #include "tracker.h" to my own header file.

Press any key to close the terminal.

Any idea why? Adding #include "tracker.h" to main.cpp` works fine…

Removing the #include tracker.h in my header file allows the firmware to compile without issues.

@kennethlimcp, do you have the Tracker_Edge library copied to your build folder? It is a self-contained “package” and I git-cloned it to a folder and use CLI to compile it.

Yes. i did. Using it fine with:

main.cpp:

#include "tracker.h"

void setup() {
  Tracker::instance().init();
  Tracker::instance().location.regLocGenCallback(locationGenerationCallback);
}

void loop(){
  Tracker::instance().loop();
}

^^^ this compiles and work well.

But if you have a test.h file and you do:

#include tracker.h"

The errors will start to pop up.

@kennethlimcp, test.h? Do you mean you added separate test.h/test.cpp files and want to include them? I simply modified the main.cpp file and pulled in extra libraries like Adafruit_BME280_RK. I would do the include in main.cpp AFTER the 'tracker.h` include.

yes so my directory looks like this:

I want to access the Tracker::instance() in my own class defined in test.h but the errors appeared when adding #include "tracker".h in test.h

@kennethlimcp, can you share your code for the test files and I’ll try it on my end.

I believe you are getting this error because you’re including “mcp_can.h” which includes <Arduino.h> which enables Arduino compatibility mode, which defines macros for min() and max(), which are a horrible idea because you can’t name a method min or max if you do that. The config service does that.

Try including tracker.h first.

It that doesn’t fix it, after including mcp_can.h

#undef min
#undef max

Works great thanks @rickkas7!
