vscode: "Something went wrong while getting the serial port list"
Posted: Sat Feb 20, 2021 2:32 am
Hi, I'm trying to get up and running using the ESP-IDF explorer in VS Code (Windows 10), and I believe I've gone though the plugin's automatic installation flow successfully, but when I try to select a port with the plug icon in the bottom left, I get the message "Something went wrong while getting the serial port list". I'm not sure how to debug this or what I should try next, there is no additional logging in the ESP-IDF output window in vscode, and the message doesn't give any pointers about where I should look for logs.
Any Ideas what I should try next?
Some additional background info in case it might be helpful:
- I have been able to successfully connect to and flash my ESP32 by way of the Arduino IDE and using the Arduino VSCode plugin.
- I've tried disabling the Arduino VSCode in case that was somehow interfering with the ESP-IDF plugin. I've also restarted vscode after doing this. these actions did not help.
- I've tried restarting my machine since installing the ESP-IDF plugin (and since going through it's automatic installation of the other required build tools). That did not help either.
Any ideas most appreciated! Thanks!
