I'm trying to use EspMQTTClient inside a class, called myIOT32.

An error, which I don't find the reason for is generated.

/home/guy/Documents/git/Arduino/libraries/myIOTesp32/myIOTesp32.cpp: In lambda function:
/home/guy/Documents/git/Arduino/libraries/myIOTesp32/myIOTesp32.cpp:25:5: error: 'this' was not captured for this lambda function
     client.publish("mytopic/test", "This is a message sent 5 seconds later");
     ^

Error compiling for board LOLIN D32.

.h file:

#ifndef myIOT32_h
#define myIOT32_h

#include <ESPmDNS.h>
#include <WiFiUdp.h>
#include <ArduinoOTA.h>

#include "secrets.h"

class myIOT32
{
private:
    void onConnectionEstablished();  // <--- this is a must have function ( was taken as is from lib's built-in example 

public:
    EspMQTTClient client;
    myIOT32(char *ssid, char *wifi_p, char *mqtt_broker, char *mqttU, char *mqttP, char *devTopic, int port = 1883);
};

#endif

.cpp file:

#include "myIOTesp32.h"

myIOT32::myIOT32(char *ssid, char *wifi_p, char *mqtt_broker, char *mqttU, char *mqttP, char *devTopic, int port)
    : client(ssid, wifi_p, mqtt_broker, mqttU, mqttP, devTopic, port)
{
}

void myIOT32::onConnectionEstablished()
{
  // Subscribe to "mytopic/test" and display received message to Serial
  client.subscribe("mytopic/test", [](const String & payload) {
    Serial.println(payload);
  });

  // Subscribe to "mytopic/wildcardtest/#" and display received message to Serial
  client.subscribe("mytopic/wildcardtest/#", [](const String & topic, const String & payload) {
    Serial.println(topic + ": " + payload);
  });

  // Publish a message to "mytopic/test"
  client.publish("mytopic/test", "This is a message"); // You can activate the retain flag by setting the third parameter to true

  // Execute delayed instructions
  client.executeDelayed(5 * 1000, []() {
    client.publish("mytopic/test", "This is a message sent 5 seconds later");
  });
}

Appreciate any help in constructing such a class

For the fix, just add the reference capture and it should compile fine:

   // Execute delayed instructions
  client.executeDelayed(5 * 1000, [&]() {   // [&] instead []
    client.publish("mytopic/test", "This is a message sent 5 seconds later");
  });

I could not test, but you will have to apply to other functions as well.

[] Capture nothing 
[&] Capture any referenced variable by reference 
[=] Capture any referenced variable by making a copy
