Can not create ESP-IDF project

erikawto · April 15, 2023, 7:15pm

I am trying to create a ESP-IDF project but always get an error.
I have tried a bunch of stuff, such as reinstalling VSCode, PlatformIO, making a git repo, reinstalling esp32 packages. Does anyone have a solution?

PIO Core Call Error: "The current working directory C:\Users\User\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\CAN30-SW-IDF will be used for the project.

Same error message as in Why does this ESP32 project creation fail?

erikawto · April 15, 2023, 7:23pm

Why? I don’t see a .git folder

maxgerhardt · April 15, 2023, 7:25pm

Also not in any of the folders upwards in the path of C:\Users\User\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\CAN30-SW-IDF?

Also, .git is a hidden folder, make sure to turn of “Show Hidden Folders” in the Windows explorer.

erikawto · April 15, 2023, 7:29pm

Yes, I also tried setting up the project on a completely empty hard drive.

erikawto · April 17, 2023, 5:06pm

Still not solved. Tried different paths, reinstalling esp-idf and platform from PlatformIO.

maxgerhardt · April 17, 2023, 5:27pm

Is OneDrive mapped to C:\Users\<user>\Documents? If yes, that’s not so good.

For a clean reinstall you need to completely delete C:\Users\<user>\.platformio.

erikawto · April 17, 2023, 7:27pm

I have used OneDrive before. But I cant find it mapped to C:\Users<user>\Documents

erikawto · April 20, 2023, 3:53pm

How come the ESP-IDF Vscode extension works but not PlatformIO?

erikawto · April 21, 2023, 6:26pm

Git update solved the problem.

maxgerhardt · April 22, 2023, 11:33am

Never would have thought that, thanks for finding out.

codelain94 · May 5, 2023, 11:16am

Hey, im facing exactly the same problem and have no clue how to solve this. could you explain how exactly do you managed it? wen i go to C:/Users/User/.platformio/packages/framework-espidf there is no .git folder. i tried git update but it just say git is up to date. i also tired to replace the .platfomrio folder from a wokring pc to my current machine but still the same problem. I reayl hope you can help me here

erikawto · May 5, 2023, 12:20pm

Do you have a .git folder in your C:\Users folder?
