Doesn't sound though the script is running correctly.... You'll need to change the directory in the os.chdir 'line' - replace the esp-idf I have with espressif... To run - start a command line (windows key, type cmd<enter>) then cd to the directory you save the script to - probably documents (so cd ...

For you get any errors? The script should run through quite a few bits.

I'm thinking to post a video - the esp32 tools seem to cause a lot of grief - I can replicate this error, but not the cmake problems plaguing other people.

I posted a small python script at viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1922 - try running this... Save to a file name.py then type name.py at a command prompt...

As an experiment - I tried a 'downgrade' to v4.1 (on a system with only v5 installed) - this is the the lowest version displayed on the espressif page linked above. Again I used all the default settings (except the directory - I changed to c:\esp-idf rather than overwriting the previous one (however...

One last try before we give it up as a bad job? Can you try running the v4 or v5 script (see https://www.flowcode.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1570&start=20) depending on which version you installed. You might need to change the directory for the chdir command.. I'd volunteer to connect ...

For anyone who needs/wants to switch between v4 and v5 easily (and somethings don't yet work under v5) - so mainly people testing things? A couple of simple Python scripts: #!python3 import os cmds = ["git fetch", "git checkout release/v5.0", "git pull", "git submo...

What did you do to break it??

Once it is working it's good... Hopefully we're actually doing something slightly different each time - was it einstein who said doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insanity - especially with computers where reproducibility is surely key to their usefulness? ....

Just managed to 'downgrade' successfully to v4.n Follow the instructions in Ben's message at https://www.flowcode.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=9222#p9222 - before doing the commands cd c:\esp-idf (install directory for v4 esp-idf) Do each command in turn - some don't seem to complete successfully - ...

Can you compile with v5 ?

I've tried 'downgrading' to v4.1 and struggled to get it to work correctly (or indeed at all)
