Fresh Install Build Fails (VSC-521)

Fresh Windows 10 Home install. Installed VS Code, VS_BuildTools (Was Needed for ESP_IDF Tools Install), Python 3.9.1, GIT version 2.30.0.windows.1 ESP_IDF Tools 2.3. Added all the Paths to System Environment Variables. I’m able to build (Hello_World) via CMD using idf.py build and flash my device. After adding the espressif IDF Extension and getting the orientation to pass I copied Hello_World to a new folder using the examples browser and tried building it but it fails. below is the output for the build errors. `> Executing task: cmake -G Ninja … <

@brainstorm the log gives you the issue, you have missing python packages in the virtual environment of /Users/romanvg/.espressif/python_env/idf4.3_py3.9_env/bin/python. If you do:

/Users/romanvg/.espressif/python_env/idf4.3_py3.9_env/bin/python -m pip install /Users/romanvg/dev/esp-idf/requirements.txt

/Users/romanvg/.espressif/python_env/idf4.3_py3.9_env/bin/python -m pip install EXTENSION_PATH/requirements.txt

/Users/romanvg/.espressif/python_env/idf4.3_py3.9_env/bin/python -m pip install EXTENSION_PATH/esp_debug_adapter/requirements.txt

where EXTENSION_PATH might look like /Users/romanvg/.vscode/extensions/espressif.esp-idf-extension-VERSION

IF you install ESP-IDF Tools with the extension wizard, this is done for you automatically. If you installed other way then extension and debug adapter requirements will be missing, as explained in SETUP

Closing this, since the original issue is fixed for @jscott304

Not sure about brainstorms issue but after getting the latest update for VS Code ESPRESSIF it is now working. There must have been an issue that was fixed with the update. Thanks,
