Espressif IDE don't work in VSCode

[BergLoewe]

Hello,

I watched the video. But I've many problems with the installation.
The first diffenrence to my trys is, that in the video has an chart "IDF Onboarding". That I can't find. ""Extension ESP-IDF only". I don't know if that has any meaning.
I did play trought the installation nevertheless.

When I build the "hello_world" the VSC hangs up with

Code: Select all

Can anyone help with a tip?

[ESP_bignacio]

In the extension repository readme.md there are several links to help you:

extension setup documentation

You can just use the ESP-IDF: Configure ESP-IDF extension command to configure the extension.

Thank you very much!

I know your Site. But I don't coming forward. I install via express or via advanced, with ESP-IDF from download( I'm afraid, I've 50x downloads of the same) or with ESP-IDF from HDD - every time the same result. See picture1. This is german and says that the VSC can't resolve the Path to the xtensa-esp32-elf-gdb.exe. I think, the VCD needs that to compile. When I try to build then I've the result in the picture2.

This is the content of settings.json

Code: Select all

I couldn't get the Espressif instructions for VS Code to work either but found that Yuri R's instructions do work. Even with his instructions the build in the VS Code terminal is not 100% reliable. The feature that I really want is quick navigation to header files, #define values, and function declarations and that is all working. There are no squiggles under any include. So I just build in a CMD window.

Here is a link to Yuri R's "ESP32 - Getting Started with ESP-IDF using Visual Studio Code [Easiest Method]":

you can try this

You can just use the ESP-IDF: Configure ESP-IDF extension command to configure the extension

from the F2 in Visual code

else this

https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp ... /issues/27

I struggle with this also -- if you solve it post

It does not affect the build but your right it makes the editor less useful...

[ESP_bignacio]

@BergLoewe the error you have is because you have a cache copy of previous build which used a different ESP-IDF directory based on your build output.

Please delete the build folder from this project (or use the extension full clean command) and try to build again.
