Description

Today my ESP-IDF VS Code extension updated to v2. I wanted to try out the new ESP-IDF installation manager, so I setup a project and configured everything according to the docs.
1.) I reinstalled VS Code ESP-IDF extension
2.) I ran ESP-iDF installation manager and chose the "Easy Installation" method with default settings, installation worked
3.) I opened VS Code and created a new ESP-IDF project with the wizard (the blink example project)
4.) With the project open, I ran "Select current ESP-IDF Version" and selected the installed v5.5.2
5.) I tried to build the project but only get this error in VS Code:

I tried cleaning the project, setting ESP-IDF Version again, switched targets, nothing works. I cannot even build the simples example project (hello_world) anymore after the update to V2 and using the EIM App. I also tried completely removing the esp-idf extension and all its setting files in the .vscode/extensions folder.

Please provide a fix as fast as possible, since currently im unable to build any projects using VS Code ESP-IDF extension.

The doctor command in VS Code output is below. I saw an error about CMake/Ninja not found, but I have installed cmake. Everything worked using the old ESP-iDF extension V1. Cmake and python is installed using homebrew.

Also I can open the SDK Configuration Editor (menuconfig) withuot any issues. The debug output is below when opening it from inside ESP-IDF extension. CMake has been found then.

You mentioned that you installed cmake, did you also install ninja?
I can see from Doctor Command there is a Access to Ninja in environment PATH with no value, meaning there might be an issue detecting ninja. The menuconfig will work because it doesn't need it, just CMake.

If you open a terminal with the ESP-IDF: Open ESP-IDF terminal and type which cmake can you see the CMake or which ninja for Ninja ?

I'm not sure why is this happening but is probably utils.isBinPath doesn't seem to find Cmake or Ninja in PATH.

[LostInCompilation]

I didn't install ninja separately. I never had to install ninja before to use and compile ESP-iDF projects. Building worked before with the old extension or via Command Line, just after the update to extension V2 the error occurred.

which cmake: /opt/homebrew/bin/cmake
which ninja: Ninja not found

If ninja is now a separate requirement, then the ESP-IDF installation manager should check for it, like it is checking for CMake and python. Otherwise things like this happen and full build toolchains break with just an update.

However it is not clear to me why the missing ninja is now suddenly an issue if it was never before?

[brianignacio5]

Apologies you are right !

The issue is that ESP-IDF lists ninja as an optional dependency in their tools.json which is why EIM doesn't install it by default. While we need a better for now we are pushing for quick fix for this in espressif/idf-im-ui#396

[LostInCompilation]

Thanks for working on a fix :)

Whats the recommended way to fix my build system, so it's compatible with future updates? Just installing ninja using brew install ninja?

[brianignacio5]

yes just install ninja with brew

[LostInCompilation]

Installing ninja fixed all issues 👍🏻

Hi @LostInCompilation Just following up, we have release EIM v0.8.0 that fixes the missing ninja from the ESP-IDF setup.

https://github.com/espressif/idf-im-ui/releases/tag/v0.8.0

Hopefully this should simplify the setup process for you.
