Hi,

I am using the Visual studio code extension for ESP32 and I have connected the JTAG to my board, when I push F5 I get:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):

I have installed the win32api with this: pip install pypiwin32 but doesn't change anything.
I am using Windows and python 3.9 plus the last version (0.5.1) of the visual studio extension.

Does anyone has the same problem?

You need to install win32api in your virtual environment python packages.
If you just do `pip install win32api` it will install in your global python packages. Try `idf.pythonBinPathWin -m pip install win32api` and replace idf.pythonBinPathWin with the python path in your extension settings.
