idf.py create-project-from-example crashing
Posted: Mon Mar 23, 2026 9:20 am
I'm using visual studio code with the ESP-IDF extension. I've already done a fresh install and am still getting the same error:
Things I've tried:
- python -m pip install --upgrade idf-component-manager
- deleting the cache folder in C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Espressif\ComponentManager
to no avail.
Is broken on windows?
