Description

Starting from this link https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32c3/get-started/index.html and following the steps to install VSCode and the Espressif IDF extension (https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32c3/get-started/index.html), I cannot configure ESPRESSIF extension: I didn't have the Python line during the Express configuration

Then, I tried to uninstall everything, VS Code and Espressif IDF extension, but ASAP I restart the configuration, it doesn't restart from the beginning and it does not advance.

How can I restart everything from the beginning?

Can you share the log file ?

It was part of the issue template Extension part:

Please share related content of extension log file located in:

Windows (%USERPROFILE%.vscode\extensions\espressif.esp-idf-extension-VERSION\esp_idf_vsc_ext.log)
Linux-MacOS ($HOME/.vscode/extensions/espressif.esp-idf-extension-VERSION/esp_idf_vsc_ext.log)

esp_idf_vsc_ext.log
Here it is

[brianignacio5]

Seems there is an error getting this file:

https://dl.espressif.com/dl/esp-idf/idf_versions.txt

Can you access to it directly? Also When you try to open the ESP-IDF: Configure ESP-IDF extension, what does happen?

[benniflash]

This is my idf_version.txt file
idf_versions.txt

I cannot open ESP-IDF: Configure ESP-IDF extension from command palette, maybe because it is still loading the initial configuration:

[brianignacio5]

What I mean is, can you download the file from the previous URL ?

https://dl.espressif.com/dl/esp-idf/idf_versions.txt

It is probably a connection error to our download server. I'll check the validation code.

I can open your file

Then it seems there is a connection issue from vscode itself. Have you try closing all windows of vscode an re opening them ?

Are you using a proxy in vscode ?

[benniflash]

Sure; I've already tried to uninstall vscode, but If I reinstall everything (vscode and the espressif extension), during the configuration, it restarts from where it stops the previous time. Is there a solution to uninstall everything (vscode, espressif extension and configuration)?

[benniflash]

Yes, I'm using my company's Proxy

Hi @benniflash,

You can follow the steps for uninstalling here.

You can also delete the esp-idf. Default location is C:\Espressif
