'FunctionName' was not declared in this scope within Blynk menu

Hi,
I’m getting a really annoying message from Arduino IDE. What is strange in my case is that this error appears continuously without any criteria even if the function is already declared.
Details :
• esp8266 + WIFI.
• Windows 10 x64
• Blynk server
• Blynk_Release_v0.6.1
My sketch code is down here:

/* Comment this out to disable prints and save space */

// Go to the Project Settings (nut icon).

This report would have more information with

option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Something weird here. If I remove the second if condition, the sketch compiles properly even if the function named ‘sendUptime’ that it keeps referring to, already exists in the first if condition.
Any suggestions?

@PeteKnight Isn’t in right place?
If it’s not, I’ll change it immediately as per you request.

Your problem is with one of the functions before the sendUptime function - in this case the BLYNK_WRITE(V1) function.
The issue is with un-matched curly brackets, and you can’t see this because of the horrendous way you’ve formatted your code and things like this:

Once you solved that, you need to declare the EpShear variable.

The Arduino IDE has the feature that if you select a closing bracket, it will highlight the corresponding opening bracket. When you select the last closing bracket of a function it should always highlight the initial opening bracket at the beginning of the function.

As I said before in your other topic…

Pete.

thanks, @PeteKnight

I’ve already declared it, but some edits after the copy/paste affected it.
I didn’t notice that even when the code folding is enabled. It might happened after I added a closing bracket to the existing one that have been produced automatically by the Arduino IDE.
You are absolutely right. I should think twice about this horrendous sketch.
Thanks again, @PeteKnight
