I’ve been working at this for a couple of days. My project runs under ESP32/Arduino. Was easy to setup and update as needed. Now I need to make changes to the underlying ESP-IDF config so trying to setup Arduino running on ESP-IDF.
I had no problems setting up VSCode/ESP-IDE with Arduino but my project has so many libraries and dependencies and the CMakeFiles is just too complicated and rigid.
I’ve spent a couple of days trying to just get a simple project to compile, but just feel clueless. This is what PlatformIO is supposed to eliminate. Could someone point me at or give me a step by step procedure for creating this environment? Everything I see is years old.
UPDATE: This post was somewhat helpful in that I added the version to my platform spec and the errors changed.
So, now I get several exceptions/errors that I have no idea how to resolve:

The OSError installing charset-normalizer is a mystery. The directory and file have normal permissions. I deleted the file and reran and get the same error. Could it have anything to do with the double \ between each node?
I’m getting:
Warning! Arduino framework as an ESP-IDF component doesn't handle the variantfield! The defaultesp32 variant will be used.
No idea what that refers to.
And the final nail in the coffin:
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
CMake Error at C:/Users/Bob/.platformio/packages/framework-espidf@3.40403.0/tools/cmake/build.cmake:452 (message):
C:\Users\Bob\.platformio\penv\Scripts\python.exe: Error while finding
module specification for 'idf_component_manager.prepare_components'
(ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'idf_component_manager')
Does that mean anything to anyone?
Oh, and my .ini file:
[env:esp32dev]
platform = espressif32@5.3.0
board = esp32dev
framework = arduino, espidf
