Missing .vscode and .devcontainer Folders in ESP-IDF v5.5 Projects

[NavitTripathi]

I recently started working with ESP-IDF v5.5, and while creating a basic "Hello World" project, I noticed that the .vscode and .devcontainer folders are no longer automatically generated in the project directory.
In contrast, when using ESP-IDF v5.2, these folders were consistently created upon project initialization or build, which was helpful for configuring Visual Studio Code and containerized development environments.
Could you please clarify whether this change is intentional in ESP-IDF v5.5? Additionally, I would appreciate any guidance on how to properly generate or configure these folders under the new version—particularly when setting up projects for use with the ESP-IDF Visual Studio Code extension.
Thank you for your support.
Best regards,

To create the folders, I (using Codium on Ubuntu) do:

Code: Select all

ctrl-shift-p 

and start type esp-idf add and select the options for creating the .vscode directory and the docker configuration (when desired, as I don't often use the containerized way of working)
