AutoConnect library doesn't allow to perform any other operation

[spike32]

Hello everyone! I need to build an application in which my ESP32 uses the AutoConnect library (https://github.com/Hieromon/AutoConnect) for creating a captive portal and meanwhile performing other operations. The thing is that when I start the captive portal it doesn't perform any other operation. Here's reported some code.

Code: Select all

#include <WiFi.h>
#include <WebServer.h> 
#include <AutoConnect.h>

WebServer Server;
AutoConnect      Portal(Server);

void rootPage() {
  char content[] = "Hello, world";
  Server.send(200, "text/plain", content);
}

void setup() {
  delay(1000);
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println();

  Server.on("/", rootPage);
  if (Portal.begin()) {
    Serial.println("WiFi connected: " + WiFi.localIP().toString());
  }
  Serial.println("Print after Portal.begin()");
}

void loop() {
    Portal.handleClient();
    Serial.println("Perform an operation...");
    delay(2000);
}

For instance here, in the loop() method I can't see any message printed onto my serial monitor, as well as the print after Portal.begin() is being called seems to not be executed. How can I perform more actions while the captive portal is being initialized and started?
