Problems with VSCode ESP-IDF externsion

Postby lg.lindstrom » Thu Oct 07, 2021 6:33 pm

This is quite annoying for me. Sometimes ESP-IDF extension for VsCode stops working and all kind of strange errors turns up. Not always but sometimes,, and I can't see a clear way to avoid those errors.

1) Menyconfig hangs on startup. After issue the command to start it hangs as shown by picture below.

3) Cmake is not happy

Code: Select all

Can you share the content of https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp ... leshooting

There should be a SDK Configuration Editor output in Menu view -> Output or some error printed in the log specified in the previous link.
