Hi,

I set up a virtual drive the project path to prevent wrong path because of unicode.

Below is test directory of 'WrongPath' project.
Real path of project - D:\VSCode\한글경로\WrongPath
Virtual Path of project - P:\WrongPath

I try to menuconfig in virtual path, but idf.py refers to real path.

I checked the idf.py source code and could see that 'global_args' has project path.
In idf.py, the project path is initially received as a virtual path, but after the global action callback is performed, the path is changed to the real path.
I'm having a hard time understanding the tasks running in idf.py anymore.
Can I get any help to use virtual path ?

Thanks.

continue debugging the code to identify the exact point where the path transition occurs. Use print statements or a debugger to track the value of the project path variable (global_args in this case) throughout the execution flow.

I found point where paths change!

'validate_root_options' function in <idf path>/tools/idf_py_actions/core_ext.py.
This function use realpath about project_dir and build_dir. need to comment this.
