Ah, that sounds like an IDE issue there. I'll move your post to the proper forum for that. Possibly it'd also help if you included how you installed everything, that could perhaps help people get to what's going on.

I Mainly Followed this tutorial. But Iam getting lots of errors with my VS-Code ( Please the help is needed )
Also I dont know If I should make a New post but Iam now getting this error. It is when I try Build the project.

Code: Select all

CMake Error: The source directory "E:/ESPRESSIF/WorkSpace/hello_world" does not 
appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
The terminal process "C:\windows\System32\cmd.exe --login /d /c cmake -G Ninja .." terminated with exit code: 1.

Hi there !

It seems you are using Visual Studio Code but you are using some CMake-related extension to build your project. Also the build command doesn't seem to find the CMakeLists.txt file. Might need to configure your extension to work properly.

Have you tried using our official ESP-IDF extension ? Here is a quick-start video to help you get started.

Thanks for the Reply,
Could it be an Environment path Problem ?
Or must I change a directory in VS-Code ? (Where )
