platform espressif32 6.12.0 fails to configure under macOS

[kscheff]

I had the same issue when trying to get the esp-idf framework 5.4.2 going. Now with the official release of 6.12.0 including framework esp-idf 5.5.0 I am getting this error again, see log below for details.

I already cleared out the ~/.platformio/packages and ~/.platformio/platforms

This version works installs and works fine: platform = https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif32.git#5e0a22e

@6.11.0 installs also fine, but does not work for me due to some new missing framework APIs (5.4.2)

Temporary fix

Disabling the component manager patched the issue:

[env]
...
extra_scripts = pre:disable_component_manager.py

And then punting into this python file: disable_component_manager.py:

import os
os.environ["IDF_COMPONENT_MANAGER"] = "0"

Hi @kscheff, what's the output of /Volumes/SN770/Users/xxx/.platformio/penv/.espidf-5.5.0/Scripts/python -m pip list

[Jason2866]

I had the same error. Delete the espidf venv. For me the location is in folder .platformio/penv/... The venv gets not updated (it should, but it did not in my case) and this error happens. When the venv gets fresh installed it works as expected.

[kscheff]

@valeros there is no directory Scripts in my installation. @Jason2866 this helped, thanks. Strange: after reversing to the old penv directory it works also. The old directory had the subdirectory .esp-idf-5.5.0, but wasn't working. So it might be something to do with the creation of the penv directory itself.
