missing flasher_arg.json

[paulrbarnard]

I'm struggling with a build issue, "flasher_args.json is missing from the build directory". I am building and flashing (over UART) from VSCode.

My OS is macOS 11.5

This is 100% repeatable for all my existing projects and newly created sample projects like Blink from the samples.

My system was working absolutly fine until last Monday when my computer crashed due to overheating. I reformatted the drive, reinstalled the OS and recovered all my data from backup. Everything is working with the exception of Flashing ESP32. I have tried different HW modules (DevKit v1 and DevKit v4 boards in case it was a board specific issue). I have tried everything I can think of.

I've reinstalled IDF (1.1.1), VSCode (1.58.2), Python (3.9.5), cmake (3.21.1) and all the other listed dependencies and still it's failing.

Any pointers would be gratefully received.

Can you share more information about your setup?

Take a look at https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp ... leshooting

We need to see the log output and the doctor command output to see what happened.
