VS Code cannot find esptool.py

Hello,

I am currently trying to setup the ESP-IDF plugin for VS Code under Linux.

esptool.py is installed under /usr/bin and can be be invoked without problems either from the inbuilt VS Code terminal or my normal shell.

However, when I try to flash via the plugin command, VS Code tells me that esptool.py can't be found.

How can I fix this?

Have you configure the extension using ESP-IDF: Configure ESP-IDF extension ? Did you had any problems during the setup ?

What is the value for idf.customExtraPaths ?
