Issues with latest ESP-IDF and Arduino core

[usinjin]

Hello,

I am fairly new to Git and ESP32 in general, so forgive me if this is a trivial question. I feel like I'm doing something wrong updating either/both the ESP-IDF core and Arduino core. I'm using an older version of both and wish to update. However, after doing so, I always get many compiler errors do to missing/incorrect files. I've tried both updating both (using Git GUI) and also deleting both directories and starting from scratch, but the compiler issues persist, and I always end up going back to the older versions. If anyone might be willing to help me I can list the steps I've taken in greater detail.

Is your goal to build Arduino apps using the ESP-IDF build system or using the Arduino IDE?
