Cmake fails with a KeyError: 'nameOnDisk' in espidf.py

PlatformIO IDE
1

I’m attempting to include an external cmake project into my platformio wesp32 project being built in VS Code’s platformio system. There are currently no errors without attempting to include the external cmake project. However, I get the error when I build with the following configuration. I have already deleted my entire .platformio directory under my user directory and let platformio rebuild everything there and done multiple cleans and rebuilds to no effect. I am struggling to find any help online about this particular issue already hence here I am. The log output isn’t terribly helpful to me though I am not familiar with the files in the call stack.

Anyone have ideas for where I should go from here? I’m a bit newer to the platformio framework.

platformio.ini:

[platformio]
default_envs = esp-wesp32

[env:esp-wesp32]
platform = espressif32
board = wesp32
framework = espidf
build_flags = -DBOARD_WESP32
;upload_port = /dev/cu.usbserial-20
;monitor_port = /dev/cu.usbserial-20
monitor_speed = 115200

[env:esp-espressif-dev]
platform = espressif32
board = esp-wrover-kit
framework = espidf
build_flags = -DBOARD_ESPRESSIF_DEV
;upload_port = /dev/cu.usbserial-201
;monitor_port = /dev/cu.usbserial-201
monitor_speed = 115200

Can you open an issue at Issues · platformio/platform-espressif32 · GitHub? This is where the builder script resides that expects this lib_config["nameOnDisk"] to exist. If it doesn’t work with your use case where you include an external CMake project (but it works in plain ESP-IDF), then the builder script there can be improved.

Ok, I’ll go open an issue there.
