Can’t launch Menuconfig

[mattia]

Hello,

on my PC I can’t run Solution Explorer->launch ESP-IDF Menuconfig. If I try to run directly in my build/VisualGDB/Debug directory the command “c:\sysgcc\esp32v5.1\tools\ninja\1.10.2\ninja.exe menuconfig”, I get this error:

c:\sysgcc\esp32v5.1\tools\ninja\1.10.2\ninja.exe menuconfig

Any idea of what could it be?

Hi,

This looks like something is broken in the environment or CMake files. The supported way to troubleshoot such issues would be to:

1. Reproduce the issue in VisualGDB and export the ESP-IDF command line it uses to a batch file (see this page).
2. Run the batch file separately and ensure the problem persists.
3. Refer to the ESP-IDF documentation to solve the problem outside VisualGDB (e.g. add missing environment variables, or fix broken files).

If it turns out that a particular change to the batch file (e.g. adding an environment variable) fixes the problem, let us know more details and we will help you configure VisualGDB to adjust its command line, matching the fixed batch file.

Good! Using dumping, I see a python package was missing. Thanks!!
