Async compiling error for ESP32 (RF receiver and sender)

ESPHome
1

I recently built a simple RF receiver and sender coupled to an ESP32, which I tried to flash, but does not compile on ESPhome 1.13.6.

Yesterday I tried flashing (and compiling) it on HA 0.94.0, but it gave async errors. After seeing github issue I thought the easiest fix was to update HA to 0.97.1.

Now at 0.97.1, it still will not compile. The total log of ESPhome is given below. What should I do?

My current config starts with

esphome:
  name: esp32_1
  platform: ESP32
  #board: esp-wrover-kit
  board: esp32doit-devkit-v1
  platformio_options:
    lib_deps: AsyncTCP@<1.1.0

That won’t help. esphome runs completely separately to home assistant.

This issue is fixed in dev. You can wait for the next release or switch branches/containers.

(Sorry for the necro, but posting for someone looking for the solution.) In the end it came down to a shortage of RAM on my RPi. Shutting down some containers allowed it to compile and upload.
