espressif
Could not find CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME in cache (IEP-1027)
I originally started having the same issue as #22, and as I got further and further along their solution, I realized that I was having issues with the build tools, I started debugging and I got to the point where this is what I have in my CMake preferences:
and this is what I have in the project build target settings:
As you can see from the second screenshot, I have the cmake file in the CMake preferences, but not on the build target settings, in fact, it's not even an option for me to select. I've already run the install tools multiple times as well as made sure the environment variables were properly set
I think my core toolchain should be fine:
I'm not sure if there could be an issue regarding the fact that there are some path discrepancies in there between the core toolchain and the Env. Variables, such as having C:/Espressif or C:/esp-idf-master (I had a very rough time installing IDF tools to begin with, so I'm not even sure where anything is and I'm not entirely sure how to delete everything pertaining to the ESP IDF to start again)
Another fun thing is that when I look at the product info, I get a fatal error: not a git repository, which I don't know why, if I installed it from the ESP-IDF installer and I thought it set it up as a Git. Does it not if it's the offline installer? Idr if I kept the offline or online install.
Should I just redo all installs just to be sure there's no issue with that? If so, how should I delete everything that already exists? Product Information: Operating System: windows 10 Java Runtime Version: 20.0.2+9-78 Eclipse Version: 4.28.0.v20230605-0440 Eclipse CDT Version: 11.2.0.202303140100 IDF Eclipse Plugin Version: 2.10.0.202306060331 ESP-IDF v5.1.1-dirty Python set for IDF_PYTHON_ENV: Python 3.11.2
Also there's two error logs so I'm just putting both of them here if this would even help novaluepresent.log filenotfound.log
Hi @Mendiz-Fern I see you are trying to deal with multiple esp-idf environments and somewhere the paths were messed up.
For example, I see idf_tools.py multiple places.
C:\Espressif\tools\idf_tools.py
C:\Espressif\tools\cmake\esp-idf-v5.1.1\tools\idf_tools.py
C:\esp-idf-master\tools\idf_tools.py
But in the screenshot you've provided, it was pointing to C:\esp-idf-master as a the ESP-IDF path.
I would highly recommend, you go with the offline installer approach, which will bring all the required tools and dependenecies - esp-idf, tools and espressif- ide.
Please check this video and see if it's helpful.
Offline installer for espressif-ide can be downloaded from here
Let me know how it goes, I will be happy to help you.
Hi @Mendiz-Fern, thank you for reporting this. While we are in the process of investigating this problem, I would like to offer some clarification on the points you mentioned:
I have the cmake file in the CMake preferences, but not on the build target settings, in fact, it's not even an option for me to select.
you don't need to select cmake file in build settings since it's bind to the toolchain in the CMake preferences. The process of binding the toolchain to the cmake file is automatic.
I've already run the install tools multiple times as well as made sure the environment variables were properly set
I agree that the environment variables looks totally fine. What doesn't look right is that according to the PATH variable the toolchains should be located in the path C:\Epressif\tools, but in the Core Build Toolchains and CMake sections they are mentioned in another path C:\Users\Weapo\.rustup\toolchains. I think that's the root of the problem here. Normally, after installing the tools in the IDE, all toolchains should point to the path mentioned in the environment variables.
I'm not sure if there could be an issue regarding the fact that there are some path discrepancies in there between the core toolchain and the Env. Variables, such as having C:/Espressif or C:/esp-idf-master
It's absolutely fine to have toolchains in a separate folder from the esp-idf. It's how it's supposed to be. For example, I have toolchains located by default at: C:\Users\Denys.espressif\tools, and at the same time, I'm using multiple esp-idf versions, which are located like this D:\work\esp-idf-v5.1-rc1. Also, it's fine that cmake files are located in the esp-idf/tools/cmake folder, while toolchains are located at .espressif\tools. By looking filenotfound.log I can see that something is messed up, because of this message:
!MESSAGE C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.11_3.11.1520.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\python3.11.exe: can't open file 'C:\Espressif\tools\idf_tools.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
idf_tools.py should be searched inside the esp-idf folder, not the toolchains folder
I had a very rough time installing IDF tools to begin with, so I'm not even sure where anything is and I'm not entirely sure how to delete everything pertaining to the ESP IDF to start again
Installing IDF tools shouldn't be difficult. I'm using multiple versions of the esp-idf by constantly switching between them and not having such an issue. Have you tried to install esp-idf by clicking "Espressf -> Download and configure ESP-IDF" in the IDE, and then choosing the option "Download ESP-IDF". After downloading, the IDE will suggest to install according tools. After that, all should be set up to work with the selected esp-idf. I would suggest trying this approach if the offline installer doesn't work for you.
the full PATH environment variable is

which... ... seems a little long (is it supposed to have that many paths in it?). Contains multiple directories , and I'm not entirely sure what's up with that. I also downloaded ESP-IDF from eclipse into C:\users\Weapo, which I'm not sure if it was the right move, but trying to do it directly in C:\ gave me an error saying it wasn't allowed to put stuff there.
When you say that the issue is the discrepancy between PATH and the core build toolchains/ CMake, are you suggesting I change the Toolchains and CMake paths, or PATH? I'm having an issue where C:\Espressif\tools\etc. doesn't actually have any CMake files listed.
Hi @Mendiz-Fern,
what is strange in your PATH is that you have toolchains in different directories: C:\Espressif\tools\xtensa-esp-elf-gdb\12.1_20221002\xtensa-esp-elf-gdb\bin; C:\Users\Weapo.rustup\toolchains\esp\xtensa-esp32s3-elf\esp-12.2.0_20230208\xtensa-esp32s3-elf\bin;
I also downloaded ESP-IDF from Eclipse into C:\users\Weapo
It's ok to have it there.
I'm having an issue where C:\Espressif\tools\etc. doesn't actually have any CMake files listed
if by CMake files you mean files like "toolchain-esp32.cmake" they aren't supposed to be in the same folder with toolchains. Toolchains are located in the C:\Espressif\tools\ in your case and toolchain files are located in esp-idf/tools like this, in your case: C:\Users\Weapo\esp-idf-v5.1.1\tools\cmake - It's ok to have it like this
are you suggesting I change the Toolchains and CMake paths
No, don't change these paths manually, since it can mess up things even more. I would suggest you try to switch the workspace in eclipse (Eclipse -> File -> Switch workspace -> other...), at this case you should have a new separate Eclipse environment with empty environment variables and preferences like Core Toolchains and Cmake files. After that, you can try to proceed with the Espressif > ESP-IDF Tools Manager > Install ESP-IDF & then Install Tools. If after that you still face a similar PATH and the same issue, I would suggest uninstalling and deleting all existing related Espressif folders, after that repeat installation.
Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this problem, so I don't know how it got to this state, but I hope the suggested solution will help.
