ESP32 Forum

We have been using docker to compile our ESP32 projects. Our current docker image of IDF 4.2 has been working for a while. We want to upgrade to IDF 4.4 but when I try to compile it, it fails to create the partition-table.bin for our custom partition table.

-------------------------------
Our custom partition table:

# Name, Type, SubType, Offset, Size, Flags
# Note: if you have increased the bootloader size, make sure to update the offsets to avoid overlap
nvs, data, nvs, , 128K,
otadata, data, ota, , 32k,
phy_init, data, phy, , 256K,
factory, app, factory, , 3M,
ota_0, app, ota_0, , 3M,
ota_1, app, ota_1, , 3M,
storage, data, spiffs, , 6M,

--------------------------------
Here is the compiler messages under IDF 4.2 (Compiles successfully)

--------------------------------
Can anyone tell me why the IDF 4.4 can not compile our custom partition or is there some other issue I'm missing?
I did a full clean multiple time and that did not work.

That did it. Thank you for your help.
