I followed the markdown file in example/all-cluster-app/esp32 step by step but failed.
And I cannot solve this problem.

Did you idf.py set-target yourchip ???

I have the same sort of issue and haven't been able to resolve it. I've tried to follow every set of instructions I can find to build the `all-clusters-app` with no success. I did find that pulling `master` for the `connectedhomeip` project gave better instructions in the `README.md` (https://github.com/project-chip/connect ... /README.md) and actually corrected some steps that I had found were missing. Still, the `set-target` seems to fail and the build also fails.

Is there a better series of instructions for building `all-clusters-app`? I started with this blog (https://blog.espressif.com/announcing-m ... 164316c0e3) and have gone down a few rabbit holes since then with no success.

I'm very interested in getting a Matter demo up and running w/ the ESP32.

I am having the same problem. I did a fresh install and i tried the esp-matter sdk and the connectedhomeip sdk. Same result every time. I use the ESP-IDF V4.4.1. Does anyone know a solution?

[rshankle]

Any update on this? I'm having the same issue and tried everything mentioned above.

thanks,
Bob

I am having the same issue, trying to integrate the esp-matter sdk into my existing esp32 project.
I checked out the whole esp-matter repo, including submodules and added it to my CMakeLists.txt:

set (EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS "external/esp-matter/components")

But all I get is a "Failed to resolve component 'chip'.:

Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

I am having the same issue.
Trying to integrate esp-matter into my existing esp32 project using esp-idf version 5.3. I cloned the complete esp-matter repo with submodules (also connectedhomeip) and integrated int into my main CMakeLists.txt:

set (EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS "external/esp-matter/components")

When trying to build I get:

I managed to solve the issue, I'll post my fix inc ase someone encounters the same problem.
The root cause was that my project did not contain a folder called "main" and the executable application itself was not called "main", so the fix is to compile the ppliaction with the option -DEXECUTABLE_COMPONENT_NAME:

idf.py -DEXECUTABLE_COMPONENT_NAME=<my_custom_app_name> build
