Creating new ESP-IDF project fails with (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'idf_component_manager') message

deckchairboy · January 15, 2023, 7:41pm

So I just uninstalled and reinstalled VScode, uninstalled Platformio, deleted all existing projects and the .platformio directory in users/xxxx/. Next I restarted and reinstalled Platformio.

Now when I try and create a new project (espidf) it fails with the following log.

PIO Core Call Error: "The current working directory D:\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\EspIdfTestProject will be used for the project.

The next files/directories have been created in D:\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\EspIdfTestProject

I have the same problem trying to build an existing project. The error messages in the log are basically the same. I also reinstalled PlatformIO, deleted the .platformio directory and tried to build it with only the platformIO core without VS Code, but nothing helps.

Any antivirus active?

chris_g · January 16, 2023, 8:17pm

I deactivated the windows real-time virus protection and i do not have any other antivirus installed. Still the same error.

I tried to build it again with platform = espressif32@5.1.0 in the platformio.ini file and that worked.

maxgerhardt · January 16, 2023, 8:23pm

And explicitly switching back to 5.2.0 fails? ~~If yes, issue to https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif32/issues.~~ Maybe this is

After long waiting, it ends with error message. The `Report error` button doesn't work, so I created this issue by hand. <sup>(sorry no picture, forgot and don't want to wait 10 minutes)</sup> ### Platform VS Code Version: `1.74.2` OS: `Windows_NT x64 10.0.19045` PlatformIO extension version: `v2.5.5` PlatformIO Core version: `6.1.5` ### Logs * Log in the error window: https://gist.github.com/AgainPsychoX/5a5c83a664f17c1998cb10643cb422bf#file-log-from-the-error-window-log * Log from `CMakeOutput.log` (mentioned in main log): https://gist.github.com/AgainPsychoX/5a5c83a664f17c1998cb10643cb422bf#file-cmakeoutput-log ### Things I tried * Cleanly reinstalling whole PlatformIO (uninstalled, restarted VS Code; removed `%USERPROFILE%\.platformio`, installed again; restarted VS Code to enable the extension). Same error appears (but I had no more warning about obsolete PlatformIO Core version or something).

?

deckchairboy · January 16, 2023, 9:10pm

Thank you, I uninstalled Platformio and reinstalled with Kaspersky antivirus deactivated, I then created a project successfully with the antivirus still off. Once the first project was done I reactivated the antivirus and could create further projects without problems.

chris_g · January 17, 2023, 2:23am

switching back to 5.2.0 results in the same error. I will try to investigate a bit further in the coming days. For now I can live with version 5.1.0 as well. Anyway, thank you for your help!

jason2866 · January 17, 2023, 2:23pm

I maintain the platformio espressif32 fork for project Tasmota.
Back ported the pip install dependencies way from release 6.0.0 (IDF 5.0) to IDF 4.4.3. Since I do not use Windows idk if this solves.
You can try with

platform = https://github.com/Jason2866/platform-espressif32.git

chris_g · January 17, 2023, 4:13pm

With the Tasmota fork it works as well, thank you!
Also building with release 6.0.0 works.

Release 5.2.0 and 5.3.0 do not work.

tharmer · January 28, 2025, 8:58pm

Using the Tasmota fork worked for me, thanks so much jason, you’re a real life saver!
Any idea what causes the issue initially, and how this solves it?
