ESP-IDF VS Code extension build suddenly failing (macOS)

[TinkerBearNZ]

macOS just updated to 11.2.2 (at least I think that's the change responsible), and now if I try to build from the icon at the bottom of the VS Code window, I get an immediate failure:

Code: Select all

> Executing task: espressif.esp-idf-extension: ESP-IDF Compile <

ESP-IDF Custom Terminal
$ cmake
spawn cmake EACCES

Running "idf.py build" still works fine - even in the VS Code terminal.

I suspect Apple may have changed their sandboxing permissions, but don't know what to look for.

I have the same issue running Mac OS 11.1
Any solution yet?

Same issue here, but I am on 11.2.1 hope we find a solution soon

I had the same issue after updating VSCode 1.54.1.
When I revert back to 1.53.2, it works.
However, I'm not sure what changes will affect them.

Hi guys apparently this is broken in the latest vscode version, we should have a fix already in GitHub master and will release a new version in marketplace soon.

In the meantime, maybe you can try using the GitHub master VSIX installer here ?

Hello, VSIX installer not available anymore? Same problem as OP had, just link not working anymore.

Thank you

As my previous post had to be confirmed, writing one more - compiled from source and all is ok now, so please ignore request. Thank you
