@echo build task init
idf.py fullclean

idf.py fullclean
idf.py -B build -D SDKCONFIG_DEFAULTS="sdkconfig.defaults;sdkconfig.prod2xxx" build
idf.py fullclean
idf.py -B build -D SDKCONFIG_DEFAULTS="sdkconfig.defaults;sdkconfig.prod3xxx" build

in 1.8 ,it woks well , but change to 1.9 will show error like this

Could you share the troubleshooting information ? Is your default terminal profile Command Prompt or Powershell? You can see the shell used by the extension in doctor command output.

There should be one script ps1 for Powershell and one .bat for Command Prompt.

a. I select vscode default terminal profile to Command Prompt

1. I used ESP-IDF v5.3.1 Open a blink example and run ESP-IDF: Open ESP-IDF Terminal,
2. Then I run the following command one after another:

idf.py fullclean
idf.py build
idf.py fullclean

Seems to work without issues in my Windows 11 setup.

yes , you are right ,this works , but not this issue , we use build.bat files to compile all the project with diff prod.

like this bat file ;

@echo build task init
idf.py fullclean
idf.py -B build -D SDKCONFIG_DEFAULTS="sdkconfig.defaults;sdkconfig.prod1xxx" build
idf.py fullclean
idf.py -B build -D SDKCONFIG_DEFAULTS="sdkconfig.defaults;sdkconfig.prod2xxx" build
idf.py fullclean
idf.py -B build -D SDKCONFIG_DEFAULTS="sdkconfig.defaults;sdkconfig.prod3xxx" build
idf.py fullclean
idf.py -B build -D SDKCONFIG_DEFAULTS="sdkconfig.defaults;sdkconfig.prod4xxx" build
idf.py fullclean
idf.py -B build -D SDKCONFIG_DEFAULTS="sdkconfig.defaults;sdkconfig.prod5xxx" build

use this file we can run the bat to compile all prod build and change diff module like esp32s3 s2. it can works 1.18 ,but 1.19 will show error...

thank you!

[brianignacio5]

Could you please try this vsix installer to see if the issue is fixed ?

it works .
thank you

[huexpub]

emm , but i found a issue ,when i close the vscode ,and reopen, new terminal will set default target is esp32 , but last i run esp-idf build is already set esp32c6 , so i need try set target again, when try close and open again ,new terminal will set default target is esp32 again.

[brianignacio5]

How do you set the esp32c6 target ? Do you use the extension ESP-IDF: Set Espressif Device Target or status bar icon with current target (esp32 for example).
