ESP32 5.2.0 R13 Toolchain Problems

[nevyn]

I have a project that was building fine with the R12 toolset.  I have just restarted VS and it has informed me that R13 is available.  So I have just upgraded to R13 and now the project refuses to build.

I installed the R13 update (not side-by-side) and then restarted Visual Studio 2017.

I was greeted by an error message that stated that the R12 toolchain could not be found and so I opted to use the new R13 toolchain.  I am now getting the following error:

Checking if any source files need uploading...
 C:\SysGCC\esp32\usr\bin\bash.exe --login -c "export IDF_PATH=/esp-idf/v3.1 && export BATCH_BUILD=1 && export PATH=/mingw32/bin:$PATH && export LANG=en_US && cd /cygdrive/c/GitHub/Meadow-ESP32/Source/MeadowComms && make partition_table BUILD_DIR_BASE='/cygdrive/c/GitHub/Meadow-ESP32/Source/MeadowComms/VisualGDBCache/MeadowComms-Debug-VisualGDB/CodeSenseDir' SDKCONFIG='/cygdrive/c/GitHub/Meadow-ESP32/Source/MeadowComms/VisualGDBCache/MeadowComms-Debug-VisualGDB/sdkconfig' V=0 && make -n -k BUILD_DIR_BASE='/cygdrive/c/GitHub/Meadow-ESP32/Source/MeadowComms/VisualGDBCache/MeadowComms-Debug-VisualGDB/CodeSenseDir' SDKCONFIG='/cygdrive/c/GitHub/Meadow-ESP32/Source/MeadowComms/VisualGDBCache/MeadowComms-Debug-VisualGDB/sdkconfig' V=0"
 Saved the code model to C:\GitHub\Meadow-ESP32\Source\MeadowComms\VisualGDBCache\MeadowComms-Debug-VisualGDB\BuildCommandLines.txt
 System.Exception: ESP-IDF build log did not report any built executables

I have tried cleaning the solution and reloading the project and also restarting Visual Studio 2017.  Nothing seems to work.
I have also tried to create a new project using the R13 toolchain, the project type was ESP32 -> Peripherals -> UART Events and I am receiving the following error for this:

Checking if any source files need uploading...

Any thoughts on how I can resolve this?

Solved this by removing the ESP32 toolchain, installing latest preview and then installing the ESP32 toolchain once more.

Hi,

Indeed the new toolchain in based on a different environment (MSYS2 vs Cygwin) and hence requires VisualGDB 5.4 Preview 6 or later in order to work correctly.
