fatal: clone of 'git@github.com:espressif/esp-debug-adapter.git'

[CarbonMan]

I am trying to set up debugging under VScode on Windows
I executed

git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp ... ension.git

and got the message;

Submodule 'esp_debug_adapter' (git@github.com:espressif/esp-debug-adapter.git) registered for path 'esp_debug_adapter'
Cloning into 'D:/_vault/vscode-esp-idf-extension/esp_debug_adapter'...
Host key verification failed.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Can someone explain what I am missing?

Two things:

- there is no reason to checkout the vs code extension via git. Try installing via the extension manager in vs code
- One of the errors is "Host key verification failed." Github had to change in SSH key recently. Perhaps this error is a result of that. If this is the problem you need to delete the offending key, but I have no idea how you would do that in windows. (if you're using the linux subsystem, you could check under ~/known_hosts and delete all the entries for github. Or have a look at this post from github https://github.blog/2023-03-23-we-updat ... -host-key/ they may have instructions for your setup.


The forum software is cutting off the command you are using.
I tried to replicate with what I think is your command line, and it worked fine:

Try posting the error message and the actual command line call in `Code` tags in the forum editor if you are still having issues.

Thank you, away from the computer for a while. I'll give it a go.
