Tried to update ESP-IDF and everything broke

[ZacDaMan]

I use ESP-IDF through VSCode; I have the extension, which is primarily how I build projects. I previously had ESP-IDF version 3.1.somethingorother installed, which was working, but I wanted to update to the latest. I cleared out my install folder (F:\Users\Isaac\esp-idf) and ran the installation tool, esp-idf-tools-setup-online-2.16.exe. This ran without any errors popping up, but now when I go to build a project (using the cylinder icon in vscode) it outputs this:

  Please try to run 'idf.py fullclean' to solve it quickly.

  Check Getting Started documentation if the error continues.

  You can override this error and proceed with build by defining the
  IDF_MAINTAINER environment variable.

Additionally, I get messages saying something like "Run idf.py", but I seem to be completely unable to do this. Running `idf.py fullclean` from a terminal inside the project folder, I get

Code: Select all

PS F:\Users\Isaac\Documents\ESP-IDF\onoff_server> idf.py fullclean

I have added IDF_PATH as

F:\Users\Isaac\esp-idf

to my system variables and added

%IDF_PATH%\tools

to my path.

Help?

same problem here :/

Adding environment variable IDF_MAINTAINER (set to '1') - as suggested in the above shown error message - fixed it!

I also tried defining IDF_MAINTAINER, and it does build, but I'm worried that ignoring the error like that could have a negative impact and would like to fix the issue if possible.
