I've just installed the extension and used the Express setup option. I opened an empty folder and selected F1 -> ESP-IDF Create Project
I selected the current folder and then selected template-app which created a new folder with the sample app inside. However the problem I have is the CMakeLists.txt file is complaining that it cannot find the included project.cmake file. My settings.json is:

Code: Select all

{
    "cmake.configureOnOpen": true,
    "C_Cpp.updateChannel": "Insiders",
    "editor.fontSize": 12,
    "idf.espIdfPath": "/home/rob/esp/esp-idf",
    "idf.pythonBinPath": "/home/rob/.espressif/python_env/idf4.2_py3.8_env/bin/python",
    "idf.customExtraPaths": "/home/rob/.espressif/tools/xtensa-esp32-elf/esp-2020r3-8.4.0/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin:/home/rob/.espressif/tools/xtensa-esp32s2-elf/esp-2020r3-8.4.0/xtensa-esp32s2-elf/bin:/home/rob/.espressif/tools/esp32ulp-elf/2.28.51-esp-20191205/esp32ulp-elf-binutils/bin:/home/rob/.espressif/tools/esp32s2ulp-elf/2.28.51-esp-20191205/esp32s2ulp-elf-binutils/bin:/home/rob/.espressif/tools/openocd-esp32/v0.10.0-esp32-20200709/openocd-esp32/bin",
    "idf.customExtraVars": "{\"OPENOCD_SCRIPTS\":\"/home/rob/.espressif/tools/openocd-esp32/v0.10.0-esp32-20200709/openocd-esp32/share/openocd/scripts\"}"
}
CMakeLists.txt

Code: Select all

# The following lines of boilerplate have to be in your project's
# CMakeLists in this exact order for cmake to work correctly
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)

include($ENV{IDF_PATH}/tools/cmake/project.cmake)
project(template-app)
The included file does exist in the path. I think somehow the ENV variable isn't being found. Can anybody help?

The CMake extension doesn't share Espressif extension settings. Maybe add the value of idf.espIdfPath to CMake Environment variables by searching for cmake.buildEnvironment in your Visual Studio Code settings ?
