Are you able to build a project without micro-ROS? I do not see any micro-ROS related error on your logs.

yes I have tried without micro-ROS and it works. Also when I try to build the project from the terminal from the micro_ros workspace it seems to build and flash as well on the esp32 board.

The above issue only happens when I try to build and flash through the esp-idf VS code extension

I guess that this extension is not well supported. Feel free to contribute with a PR if you find a solution

Also these libraries don't seem to be recognized. Can this be an issue related to the PATH of the libraries?

use the docker container in this repositry for more library rcl.h docker run -it --rm --user espidf --volume="/etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro" -v $(pwd):/micro_ros_espidf_component -v /dev:/dev --privileged --workdir /micro_ros_espidf_component microros/esp-idf-microros:latest /bin/bash

Hello, @Waelhechmi.

The microros/esp-idf-microros is deprecated and has not been updated in a long time. The recommended way to use micro_ros_espidf_component is with the official espressif Docker container and installing the micro-ROS dependencies manually. The Readme has been updated to reflect this.

Another possibility is to build the Docker image locally using the docker/Dockerfile in this repo to have an up-to-date image.
