vs code with esp-idf extension: no framework found

[carleslsregner]

Good morning:
I am trying to develop a usbtmc (a test and measurement class usb). And right now I am using the VS code and the ESP_IDF extension. I installed the the extension and I am trying to execute a "hello world" program. Once I am able to execute a basic "hello world" application firmware I will develop the usbtmc itself. Let's begin.



The first step is that I do is to "Configure ESP_IDF Extension". I can see that the ESP_IDF is being downloaded and configured. I waited until it is done. I follow the instructions.
I choose the EXPRESS option.
Then I choose Find the esp-idf.



The next step is to create a project -a very simple one-. I clicked the "New Project Wizard".



However, there is something missing... how can this be? Wasn't the ESP-IDF already installed?



What course of action do you recommend me? Should I install the esp-idf from the https://dl.espressif.com/dl/esp-idf/ website and then press the button "Configure ESP_IDF Extension"





Thanks for all. Sorry for the trouble.

I found something that may indicicate an error when I try to create a new project:
I am unable to select a framework for the project when I click the button "New project".

What is the best approach to follow in these cases?
Thanks.

If the frameworks are not shown it might be to the configuration not being correct.

Could you share the troubleshooting information such as Doctor Command output as described in here:
