Error while trying to create task from other tasks

[anudocs]

I am trying to create one task pub_sub inside a task aws_connect but I am getting error.
Below is the outline of my code :

Code: Select all

 
 //Global variables
 struct Params 
   {
   IoT_Error_t  result;
   AWS_IoT_Client  awsClient;
   }taskParam;

Code: Select all

//Inside aws_connect_task with priority 5

 ESP_LOGI(TAG, "AWS connected");
taskParam.result = rc;
taskParam.awsClient = client;
    ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Starting pub sub");
    if (xTaskCreate(&pub_sub_task, "pub_sub_task", 9216, NULL, 4, NULL) != pdPASS) {
        ESP_LOGE(TAG, "Couldn't create cloud task\n");
    }
  vTaskDelete(NULL);    

Code: Select all

//inside pub_sub_task

    struct Params* taskParams = params;
    IoT_Error_t rc = taskParams->result;
    AWS_IoT_Client client = taskParams->awsClient;
    
    //setting pub sub variables
    while(rc ==SUCESSS)
    {
    //publishing to aws iot core
    }
    vTaskDelete(NULL); 
  

But i get below error when xTaskCreate(&pub_sub_task, "pub_sub_task", 9216, NULL, 4, NULL) is called :

Code: Select all

can someone please help with this error? What am i doing wrong here?

[ESP_Sprite]

Code: Select all

 struct Params* taskParams = params;

Where does 'params' come from?

Also, don't pass params in a global struct like that. Better to use the arg value in the xTaskCreate call to pass stuff like that.

[anudocs]

it is coming from the task parameters

Code: Select all

void pub_sub_task(void *params)

[ESP_Sprite]

Okay, in that case your code works exactly as expected. (Hint: where do you think that params information comes from?)
