I’m working with VS2026 and VisualGDB 6.2 B4 / ESP IDF.
If I try to add a custom component as described in (Creating and Referencing Custom ESP-IDF Components – VisualGDB Tutorials) the component appears only for 1 or 2 seconds in the component folder of the solution explorer, and then the component disappears and compiling ends with an error message. The same workflow worked without any issues under version 6 and VS2022, with the same component. That’s a miracle. Any Idea?
We have just retested it with ESP-IDF 5.5.1, and it worked mostly fine. The default project template had the MINIMAL_BUILD property turned on, that would prevent the new component from being built, but disabling it fixed it just fine.
