WiFi - Static IP fails to connect wifi

[mistergreen]

Hardware:

Board: WEMOS lolin32
Core Installation/update date: Jan/2018
IDE name: Arduino IDE

Description:

IPAddress ip(192,168,1,129);
IPAddress gateway(192,168,1,1);	
IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 255, 0);
IPAddress primaryDNS(8, 8, 8, 8); //optional
IPAddress secondaryDNS(8, 8, 4, 4); //optional

if (!WiFi.config(ip, gateway, subnet, primaryDNS, secondaryDNS)) {
    Serial.println("STA Failed to configure");
  }

  Serial.print("Connecting to ");
  Serial.println(ssid);
  
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
  }

WiFi.status() won't connect.

If I get rid of WiFi.config(), going with the localIP, Wifi can connect.

the esp fire in this mode not the event SYSTEM_EVENT_STA_CONNECTED but only SYSTEM_EVENT_STA_GOT_IP.
In WiFiGeneric.cpp Line 318:

        WiFiSTAClass::_setStatus(WL_IDLE_STATUS);
    } else if(event->event_id == SYSTEM_EVENT_STA_GOT_IP) {
// JL    
//         if(WiFiSTAClass::status() == WL_IDLE_STATUS)
           {
            WiFiSTAClass::_setStatus(WL_CONNECTED);
        }
    }

i comment out the line that check of WL_IDLE_STATUS. This help.
