I' struggling with vs code extension and this is so annoying.
I'm using python 3.8 32-Bit Version and git 2.21.0 for windows.
Setting up esp-idf and tools is working well.
I'm using following esp-idf tools setup:
xtensa-esp32-elf: esp32-2019r1-8.2.0
xtensa-esp32s2-elf: esp32s2-dev-4-g3a626e93-8.2.0
esp32ulp-elf: 2.28.51.20170517
cmake: 3.13.4
openocd-esp32: v0.10.0-esp32-20190708
ninja: 1.9.0
idf-exe: 1.0.1
ccache: 3.7
Checking Python requirements using python
Python requirements from c:\APPL\esp-idf\requirements.txt are satisfied.
VS Code Extension GUI Setup Guide guides me through installation and everthing seams to be ok.
After i selected one of the demo projects "blink" it opened it fine, and it build fine. But there are still red squiggles for all the #includes.
Also, when I click on menuconfig i just get a pop window saying "ESP-IDF: Menuconfig: Loading initial values..." and it never does anything.
I know there is at least one other user in this forum (@username) who has the same problems.
It has cost me hours of time know and it is really anoying. Even reinstallation did not help. Using esp-idf v4.0 also did not help. Any suggestions how to solve this problems?
Why do I use the new VS Code plugin? Because I had exactly the same issues with eclipse plugin





I hope anyone can help me out here.
