Further to my post. I have created an adf 4.6 project and it appears the issue is the python dependencies. When I look at visualgdb package manager I see it is using Python 3.8.

I delete the python directory path in tools ->options ->visualgdb

When I restart the project it prompts python is missing and get option to select version 2.7 or 3. I select 3 but still get same depedency eerors.

My machine also has python 3.11 installed and wonder if it is trying to use parts of this instead? I also see the environment path for python is not set.

I am not sure what I need to do, do I have to just change the path to python to add the one in sysgcc, or do I need to change something in Visual Studio (2022)?

Double clicking error takes me to this code:

if(check)
idf_build_get_property(python PYTHON)
idf_build_get_property(idf_path IDF_PATH)
message(STATUS “Checking Python dependencies…”)
execute_process(COMMAND “${python}” “${idf_path}/tools/check_python_dependencies.py”
RESULT_VARIABLE result)
if(result EQUAL 1)
# check_python_dependencies returns error code 1 on failure
message(FATAL_ERROR “Some Python dependencies must be installed. Check above message for details.”)
elseif(NOT result EQUAL 0)
# means check_python_dependencies.py failed to run at all, result should be an error message
message(FATAL_ERROR “Failed to run Python dependency check. Python: ${python}, Error: ${result}”)
endif()
endif()
endfunction()

This is the output of the build relating to the python dependencies.
