Eclipse (Linux) New Espressif IDF Project = Nada.

[corz.org]

I thought I might up my ToolChain game (looking to try the 5.* IDF) so installed Eclipse C++ (Version: 2022-09 (4.25.0) Build id: 20220908-1902, on Slackware current) and installed all the tools and what-not. Everything went fine.

Here are my installed tools:

OK

BUT, when I choose "Espressif IDF Project" from the File >> New Menu, I get nothing. No dialog. Nada. (Yes, I restarted the IDE, even the PC)

Other options; such as "Espressif IDF Component", as well as generic projects, work fine. I tried running things from the terminal to see if there might be any error messages, but nothing there, either. And there's no output anywhere within the program, so I'm stuck.

Does anyone have any insights?

Hello,

Could you please provide the error log to check further on this issue? Maybe something going wrong while launching a new project wizard.
https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclips ... #error-log

Operating System: linux
Java Runtime Version: 17.0.4.1+1
Eclipse Version: 4.25.0.v20220831-1800
Eclipse CDT Version: 10.7.1.202208160035
IDF Eclipse Plugin Version: 2.9.0.202303201505
ESP-IDF v5.0.1-dirty
Python set for IDF_PYTHON_ENV: Python 3.9.16

The environment seems to be okay, it should work with v2.9.0 release


Thanks

Thanks! I hadn't seen the workspace log (it's not in my menu, but is in Show View >> Other).

It looks to be a problem with creating a web interface for the New Project dialog.

Apparently my WebKit is too new (v4), so I installed WebKit2GTK (along with a fair few dependencies!) but I still get the same error.

I have Chrome, Konqueror, falkon and Edge installed; none work here (though all work great on my system). Internal Eclipse browser option isn't available.

This reminds me of the **** that happens whenever I remove Chrome from an Android device. Everything breaks. Apps relying on web rendering back-ends instead of creating proper dialogs.. what a PITA!
