Using an existing ESP-IDF on Espressif-IDE v3.0.0 (IEP-1323)

[FabITA1]

Describe the bug I need to use a ESP-IDF framework v4.4.3 for my old project. This ESP-IDF version is not present in the list suggested by ESP-IDF Manager. So I clone that branch using git and specify the “Using an existing ESP-IDF directory from file system”. But the operation fails with an error (see screenshot below). The download of other IDF version proposed directly from ESP-IDF Manager works fine. I’m using Windows 11.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Clone the repository with: git clone --branch v4.4.3 --single-branch https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git
2. Rename the created directory in esp-idf-v4.4.3
3. In Espressif-IDE select Espressif | ESP-IDF Manager
4. In Esp-IDF Manager select "Add ESP-IDF" then select "Using an existing ESP-IDF directory from file system" and specify the directory just created. Then click to finish.

Expected behavior The ESP-IDF v4.4.3 is installed.

@FabITA1 hi !

I was able to reproduce this issue. We will update you, once it is fixed.

For now, please try an older Python version, such as 3.8 or 3.9—it should work.
