Due to the nature of our project we have to run a custom fork of esp-idf in order to support a larger number of SPI Devices, this in and of itself works fine in an environment where we are purely running esp-idf and compiling/flashing using idf.py.
However we are now attempting to use that same fork of esp-idf in pio and we are getting these errors:
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "NoneType") to str:

We are unsure where our mistake is (if any) as according to all information I was able to find, we should be doing things correctly.
