VS Code CMake error: "include called with wrong number of arguments"

[mylenedipenta]

I've just installed VSCode for the first time and am trying to build a project. I've successfully built projects on the command line and in Eclipse but I'd like to migrate to VSCode.

I created a "hello-world" project from the templates. This is my first project, and I was aware of the need to build the project for the first time (and use the C/C++ extension) to resolve file inclusions (i.e. I have changed the Intellisense engine to "tag parser") . All library references seem to be resolving correctly. However, when I try to build, the output window shows a number of successful checks (Python requirements, etc), then the error message below. I've also attached the CMakeOutput.log file. What have I missed?

My details
- Win 10
- VSCode 1.41.1
- ESP-IDF 4.0.beta2
- ESP-IDF Plugin for VSCode: 0.1.1
- CMake 3.14.4

Hi !

Can you show us a bit more information?

You can share the output of Visual Studio Code "ESP-IDF Build" Output Channel?

Also share the extension log located in :
Windows %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\espressif.esp-idf-extension-<version>\esp_idf_vsc_ext.log
Mac $HOME/.vscode/extensions/espressif.esp-idf-extension-<version>/esp_idf_vsc_ext.log
Linux $HOME/.vscode/extensions/espressif.esp-idf-extension-<version>/esp_idf_vsc_ext.log

Fortunately or unfortunately, I am not able to replicate this error! It is building and flashing correctly now. If it recurs, I'll check back. Thanks so much for following up.

I am having this issue now, just followed the default ESPIDF extension installation settings and have generated the hello world example program, now am getting the following issue when trying to build.

I am currently having the same problem, followed the VS Code setup and when I try to build the "hello world" project I get the same message, did anyone find a solution?

I had this issue and just found a solution: there can't be any spaces in the path to /main. So all directories in the path need to be renamed, or you need to build somewhere else.
