Got "Error: certificate has expired" when configure ESP-IDF extension

Postby darcyregan » Fri Nov 14, 2025 4:48 am

Hi,

I installed the 1.10.2 esp-idf extension for vscode. After the installation, I ran "Configure ESP-IDF Extension" in vscode. I got the following output:

Downloading from https://dl.espressif.com/dl/esp-idf/idf_versions.txt
idf_versions.txt has (1) KB
idf_versions.txt progress: 100.00% (0.12 / 0.12) KB
Error getting ESP-IDF Tags. Error: Error: certificate has expired

Anyone knows how to fix the problem?

Seems that in your setup the extension can't get access to https://api.github.com/repos/espressif/ ... r_page=100 or https://api.github.com/repos/espressif/ ... r_page=100.

Are you behind a proxy with limited access to GitHub API ? Is your vscode has any proxy configuration or your user environment variables HTTP_PROXY for example ?

No, I am not using any proxies. I can access Github and download esp-idf from the machine. The machine I encountered the problem has win 10 OS installed, and it has an old version of esp-idf installed which I have uninstalled.
Anyway, I installed the same esp-idf vscode extension on another machine with windows 11 OS, and I was able to run "Configure ESP-IDF Extension" successfully.

Thanks for the reply!
