Error with instantiation

[hpnotiqballin]

I have encountered a rather weird error. When I compile your example GET code for an ESP-32 (Firebeetle), it compiles just fine. However, when I compile it in my code, I get a "'client' doesn't name a type" error on the line where I try to first use the client object (in begin). I am using the Arduino IDE to compile, and I reused your code for the object declaration/instantiation and the begin.

What I used:
*before setup()
RestClient client = RestClient("enteredlocalAPIiphere", 80);

*within setup()
client.begin("myssid", "mypasswd");

The error is throwing on the client.begin line.
