ESP32 Forum

Hello guys,

I'm using the extension for vsCode, but apparently, I get an error that I can't solve.

OS: Windows 10
Python: v3.7.3
IDF: v4.2
espressif.esp-idf-extension: v0.6.1
vsCode: v1.52.1

When I press the compile button I get the following error:

======================================= ERROR ==============================================
ESP-IDF Custom Terminal
$ cmake

For the installation, I used the "advanced" method since I already had esp-idf and tools installed using "esp-idf-tools-setup-2.3.exe"

Could you help me please?

Open Command Palette (F1) and type `Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)` or use `{CURRENT_PROJECT}/.vscode/settings.json` to get the following extension configuration settings value:

- `idf.pythonBinPath` (MacOS or Linux) or `idf.pythonBinPathWin` (Windows) also called `Python absolute binary path used to execute ESP-IDF Python Scripts` in `Preferences: Open Settings (UI)`.

The use this value to check its python packages .

For example, if idf.pythonBinPath is C:\esp\tools\.espressifvs\python_env\idf4.2_py3.7_env\Scripts\python.exe then run . If packages are missing try:

Hi @ESP_bignacio,

I tried to follow the steps you mentioned ... I uninstalled the VSCode extension and when I installed it again a new option "USE EXISTING SETUP" appeared ... I clicked on that option and the previous problem was fixed without following what you mentioned.

Thank you very much for the reply.
