This project was building before I mistakenly deleted the .pio folder. Now when I try to build it I get the above error. I am not sure what do. I tried reinstall pio and reinstalling the espressif platform but I still keep getting this error. This is my platform.ini file:

Does it have the CMakeLists.txt you expect for your ESP-IDF project? Does it build using pio run?

You might be running in an error already discussed in the forums (Newly generated espidf project doesn't build in CLion - #15 by valeros), that using ESP-IDF, which is CMake based, does not play well with CLion which is also CMake based. The CMakeLists.txt of the project needed for ESP-IDF is overwritten by PIO when it reinits the project for CLion.

mntolia · September 1, 2020, 1:44pm

I am assuming you are referring to the CMakeLists.txt in the main folder. This is the content:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16.0)
include($ENV{IDF_PATH}/tools/cmake/project.cmake)
project(TimerDevice)

It was building until I mistakenly deleted the .pio folder I may have updated espressif to the wrong version also.

Anyway, I tried setting the platform to platform = espressif32@1.11.2. Now I am getting a different set of errors(which I didn’t get earlier). Not sure how it worked before. I guess its best to note down all the version numbers being used when everything works.

maxgerhardt · September 1, 2020, 1:58pm

Yeah that looks good for a correct build. CLion will of course fail with this CMakeLists.txt.

Have you tried a manual pio run with no change in platform? Setting 1.11.2 will also give you an older ESP-IDF version, so that usually breaks code.

mntolia · September 1, 2020, 6:13pm

Actually I am using vscode not CLion. Is the error on VScode also?

The manual pio run didn’t work. I am getting a different error now:

maxgerhardt · September 1, 2020, 6:22pm

VSCode should suffer no such issues, much less a pure pio run.

Check solution according to this: Why Python 3.6.1 throws AttributeError: module 'enum' has no attribute 'IntFlag'? - Stack Overflow

Did you recently change your python installation, or installed something like Anaconda?

mntolia · September 1, 2020, 6:33pm

I did not change any python settings. I uninstall enum34 as that link mentioned and it solved that error but it still did not solve the error that I mentioned in the first post:

This error occurs both when I run pio run on the terminal and when I click build in platformio when I set the platform to espressif32@1.12.4

Edit: Made the errors that appear in red in the terminal output bold

mntolia:

I only remember seeing this problem when CMake is invoked by CLion, but not on its own, hm.

Try and make a sanity check first for a platform-provided example. Get everything up-to-date

pio upgrade --dev
pio platform update

Then navigate to your .platformio folder in the home folder and locate the espidf-arduio-blink example ni platform/espressif32 for the most recent version and compile it. For me thats

C:\Users\Maxi\.platformio\platforms\espressif32\examples\espidf-arduino-blink>pio run -e esp32dev

If that’s failing too, remove the package folder from your .platformio\packages\ installation and retry.

Hi @mntolia! Looks like corrupted toolchain to me, try to delete folder /home/maxwell/.platformio/packages/toolchain-xtensa32 and run your project again.

mntolia · September 2, 2020, 11:27am

Yes that was the issue.

Thanks valeros & maxgerhardt.

uosuji54 · September 12, 2022, 4:04pm

Hi there,
I am getting exactly those same errors as @mntolia had. I am also using vscode on wsl ubuntu. I would appreciate any help I can get.
