ESPAsyncWebServer.h:1689:49: error: passing 'const AsyncServer' as 'this' argument discards qualifiers [-fpermissive]

Platform

ESP32

IDE / Tooling

Arduino (IDE/CLI)

What happened?

Compilation failed when including the module, compiler does not complain about the way I use the library, it complains about the library itself.
Arduino IDE 2.3.8
AsyncTCP v1.1.4
ESPAsyncWebServer 3.11.0 (from github, IDE offers lower version from different source)

Minimal Reproductible Example (MRE)

#include` <ESPAsyncWebServer.h>

I confirm that:

• I have read the documentation.
• I have searched for similar discussions.
• I have searched for similar issues.
• I have looked at the examples.
• I have upgraded to the lasted version of ESPAsyncWebServer (and AsyncTCP for ESP32).

I have searched for similar discussions.

please search correctly: https://github.com/ESP32Async/ESPAsyncWebServer/discussions?discussions_q=

and which searchkey did you use? coz the couple I tried give zero results

[key2peace]

return static_cast<tcp_state>(_server.status()); <- that search worked

ok, update, it now compiles, it was the same issue as the one which forced me to use the github zip, updated AsyncTCP using github's zip and compiles fine now
