When I run CMake configure I Get this error:

[cmake] Diagnostic information:
[cmake] IDF_PYTHON_ENV_PATH: C:\ESP32\.espressif\python_env\idf4.3_py3.9_env\scripts
[cmake] Python interpreter used: C:\Python\Python39\python.exe
[cmake] Warning: python interpreter not running from IDF_PYTHON_ENV_PATH

I can't figure out why it is not using the correct python.

Are you using CMake Tools extension ? Or are you using another extension?

If you are using Microsoft's CMake Tools extension, you might want to set an environment variable called PYTHON with

Code: Select all

C:\ESP32\.espressif\python_env\idf4.3_py3.9_env\Scripts\python.exe

You can also try our official extension for Visual Studio Code here

Ah, I didn't realize that was coming from another extension. I did use the esp-idf extension to install but I think vs code suggested installing cmake tools as well.
I have two more issues:
1. Is after opening the project I get.

Unable to resolve configuration with compilerPath "c:/esp32/.espressif/tools/xtensa-esp32-elf/esp-2020r3-8.4.0/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin/xtensa-esp32-elf-g++.exe". Using "cl.exe" instead.

The Project builds without issues so I'm not 100% sure what is going on here.
2. Is Opening the monitor fails with

Any help you can provide with these would be awesome!

I am also having the same issues any support would be helpful

I had the same issue - I found the issue was I had the "Python" extension added in VS code. When I (disabled? uninstalled?) it - IDF builds then magically started doing the right thing.

I have the same issue.
It seems the system add homebrew python in PATH variable and get the python first.
