Plugin install doesn't install the websocket-client package needed by the terminal (IEP-656)

When you try to open a terminal the first time after a clean install of esp-idf and ide-eclipse-plugin, you get…

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/src/mcu/esp32/esp-idf-v4.4/tools/idf_monitor_base/web_socket_client.py", line 57, in _connect
    self.ws = websocket.create_connection(self.url)
NameError: name 'websocket' is not defined

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/src/mcu/esp32/esp-idf-v4.4/tools/idf_monitor.py", line 351, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/src/mcu/esp32/esp-idf-v4.4/tools/idf_monitor.py", line 299, in main
    ws = WebSocketClient(args.ws) if args.ws else None
  File "/usr/src/mcu/esp32/esp-idf-v4.4/tools/idf_monitor_base/web_socket_client.py", line 47, in __init__
    self._connect()
  File "/usr/src/mcu/esp32/esp-idf-v4.4/tools/idf_monitor_base/web_socket_client.py", line 60, in _connect
    raise RuntimeError('Please install the websocket_client package for IDE integration!')
RuntimeError: Please install the websocket_client package for IDE integration!

This should really be taken care of by the installer or at least there should be clearer instructions without the backtrace. For instance, you need to run pip install websocket-client from a shell that already has had the esp-idf export.sh script sourced.

Hi! I did as you suggested: Espressif -> ESP-IDF Tools Manager -> Install Tools And it worked! Thank you very much for support! BR

Hi @undergnd https://github.com/undergnd, @Evanshion https://github.com/Evanshion,

sorry for the late reply. We tried to reproduce this problem but were unable to. Also, we added installing WebSocket packages directly into the Install Tools process, so my guess is you having this issue because something is going wrong during tools installation. Can you provide the install tools log, so we could check, please? To install tools from IDE: Espressif -> ESP-IDF Tools Manager -> Install Tools

It looks like the issue still exist - I’ve just installed IDE, newest plugins and tried the above proposals of solution. When I use “idf.py -p COM2 monitor” in Windows 10 console, it works as expected. In IDE I see the below:

It can be because a different python environment (check <user_name>/.espressif/python_env path) is set for these processes. You can also check environment variables inside IDE: Preferences -> C/C++ -> Build -> Environment -> IDF_PYTHON_ENV_PATH Then check if python from IDF_PYTHON_ENV_PATH contains websocket site-packeges. For example, in the folder .espressif\python_env\idf5.1_py3.8_env\Lib\site-packages I have 2 folders related to WebSocket websocket and websocket_client-1.4.1.dist-info

“Espressif -> ESP-IDF Tools Manager -> Install Tools” works for me as well - I had just to fill python and git paths. Thanks and Regards Greg
