WiFi can't connect to network with hidden SSID

[i_am_mrp]

I am using ESP-IDF v2.1 and Espressif ESP32 Development Board - Developer Edition

I am unable to WiFi connect to an AP with hidden SSID. When I change the router to advertise the SSID, then the code works.

Is there some option/configuration of the code that allows for this? Note I am not talking about scanning, I want to connect the ESP32 to a local router that has chosen to not advertise its SSID>

I have been using an ESP8266 which connects to this router/network for a very long time so I assumed the ESP32 would act similarly.

Unfortunately I don't own the environments this chip will ultimately get used in and thus this becomes a major limitation.

Thanks ahead,
MrP

That sounds like a bug. If you want, could you please open an issue at our Github issue tracker? That way, we can trace it. Be aware that because of a holiday here in China, it may take us longer than a week to respond.

Ok, thank you for quick response and recommendation.

I will enter it as a bug as suggested.
