Version roll back using Eclipse Plugin 5.1 to 5.0 does not succeed with tool installation.

I am seeing this error:

However, IDF 5.1 was working fine besides that we not managed to upgrade a project from 5.0.1 to 5.1.

If I try to compile a project after installing the earlier version (5.0.1) via Eclipse Plug In I am getting the following error

pkg_resources cannot be imported. The most common cause is a missing pip or setuptools package. If you've installed a custom Python then these packages are provided separately and have to be installed as well. Please refer to the Get Started section of the ESP-IDF Programming Guide for setting up the required packages.

Hello,

When you switch a ESP-IDF version, please make sure to run the Install Tools from the IDE to get the compatible tools required. You can follow the below instructions.

1. Go to "Espressif" Menu from the IDE
2. Choose "ESP-IDF Tools Manager" > "Install Tools"
3. Provide the required paramters in the dialog and click on the "Install Tools". This will download and install the required toolset to work with the upgraded/downgraded esp-idf version and configure all the required paths in the IDE build environment.
4. Now right click on the project, and run "ESP-IDF:Python Clean".

Once the above process is done, you are good to go with the build!

I hope that helps!

[RalphD]

I did all this but instead of Python clean I am used to delete the /build directory. It didn't help. However, I did change my computer anyway and have now other issues.
May be you let us know if deleting the build directory is as good as doing a python clean

[ESP_kondalkolipaka]

Yes, you can also delete the entire build directory, it's same as running "idf.py fullclean" command.

You should check this. https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... df-py.html

$idf.py python-clean
This command deletes generated python byte code from the ESP-IDF directory. The byte code may cause issues when switching between ESP-IDF and Python versions. It is advised to run this target after switching versions of Python.

$idf.py fullclean
This command deletes the entire “build” directory contents, which includes all CMake configuration output. The next time the project is built, CMake will configure it from scratch. Note that this option recursively deletes all files in the build directory, so use with care. Project configuration is not deleted.
