This the given code https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/tree/master/examples/AutoConnectWithFSParameters

When i want to be able to send custom parameters through the wifi manager, like mqtt username and password, when i refer to link provided in the documentation and compile the program, i get the above error, can you please why i am getting that error, i get the same error with other examples too.

I got the answer, The problem was with the ArduinoJson, the version 6 is the beta stage, use version 5x to fix this issue.

ok I saw blink.ino nothing about wm.
I guess the examples will have to be updated at some point it seems.

• update examples to be compatible with future arduinojson library

Ideally we would detect which version and handle, although this is just an example and not part of the library

@tablatronix Heya - I'm planning to use this library for the Adafruit IO Arduino Library (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_IO_Arduino) and would be happy to work on this issue. Could you assign it to me?

Maybe add support in the example in question for both versioons somehow?
Is it still in beta? Maybe make a branch for next version of arduinojson 6 or whatever

The ArduinoJSON library is still in beta 6.x. I'm going to source the version in the example (if they expose a version) and handle the error.

Guys the code is still not compiling for me even after I downgrade the version on arduinojson library. Can anyone help me out? I tried version 5.12.1, 5.12.2 and even 5.13

you need to downgrade arduinoJson to v5.11.3

I pushed v0.15-beta but it is not showing in arduino library manager still, no idea wtf is the deal with arduino

@tablatronix I don't know for sure because I have no access to the library indexer script, but I think the problem must be the version value in library.properties for that release: 0.15-beta. Although the indexer does support non-semver versions like 0.15, I don't know that it supports the prerelease syntax on top of the non-semver version.

What is certain is that any semver-compliant version will be accepted. So my recommendation is to just start using semver-compliant versioning:
https://semver.org/

Try adding a size to DynamicJsonDocument doc(1024); worked for me.
Go here for a little guidance.
