Espressif IDF 1.3.0 hung at "ESP-IDF: Menuconfig: Configuring server"

Postby rozzie » Sat Feb 12, 2022 9:05 pm

Hello. I am new to using vscode, and esp-idf under vscode, so I thank you in advance for your patience.

By way of background, I'm using a Macbook Pro M1 Max.

Today I did a clean install of vscode (1.64.2 Universal), and added extensions for PlatformIO (2.4.2) and Espressif IDF (1.3.0).

I created a project, and within it a main.c with your "hello world" example.

The very first thing i need to do is to identify the target, and presumably do other things as necessitated by idf's menuconfig tool.

So I pressed F1 and selected "ESP-IDF: SDK Configuration editor (menuconfig)" to bring up the gui menu config tool.

What I got is a small pop-up in the lower right corner of the window saying:

ESP-IDF: Menuconfig: Configuring server
Source: Espressif IDF (Extensioni)

Below it is a progress bar that is stuck at about 25%. I have left it for an hour and it never completes.

I've tried restarting VS Code, but to no avail.

I see that others who have had problems tend to attach a "doctor" output, so it's attached.

Your help would be greatly appreciated; I'm stuck and need to make progress on this project. Thanks much.

No module named click

In case it helps to debug, when I do F1 "ESP-IDF: Monitor your device", the terminal displays:

bash-3.2$ python /Users/rozzie/esp/esp-idf/tools/idf.py -p /dev/ttyUSB1 monitor
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/rozzie/esp/esp-idf/tools/idf.py", line 36, in <module>

File "/Users/rozzie/esp/esp-idf/tools/idf_py_actions/tools.py", line 7, in <module>
import click
ImportError: No module named click

This happens because as shown in the doctor output your extension is not properly configured.

Run the Configure ESP-IDF extension command.
