Clean install of Vscode Extension fails on python

Postby dirkvermaak » Wed Oct 06, 2021 12:24 pm

Hello,

I am running on on Windows 10 and have just done a 'clean' installation of the ESP-IDF Extension for Visual Studio Code. The version I have installed is v1.2.0.

Following a restart, I installed the esp-idf and the tools, however the tools installation fails with the following error.

Code: Select all

Command failed: c:\Users\Dirk\.espressif\tools\idf-python\3.8.7\python.exe C:\Users\Dirk\esp\esp-idf\tools\idf_tools.py install-python-env

I have found some references to this sort of error, but the answers seem to conflict. I appreciate it is something to do with the Python environment but don't know what.

Many Thanks for any help,

Dirk.

Hey Dirk sorry for late reply.

Could you please try this [vsix installer](https://nightly.link/espressif/vscode-e ... 830649.zip) we made several fixes to the setup wizard and hopefully your issue is already fixed.

Here is how to install an extension from a vsix file.
