Warning: DEPRECATED: 'esptool.py' wrapper is deprecated. VSCode
Posted: Sun Aug 23, 2026 3:42 pm
Hello and thanks in advance for the help
I am using VSCode with the ESP-IDF extension, V 2.2.0 (most recent version)
This is a minor issue, since it is a warning. I recently upgraded to V6.0 then 6.1 and I notice I get warnings.
Warning: DEPRECATED: 'esptool.py' wrapper is deprecated. Please use 'esptool' or 'python -m esptool' instead.
Warning: Deprecated: Option '--flash_mode' is deprecated. Use '--flash-mode' instead.
Warning: Deprecated: Option '--flash_freq' is deprecated. Use '--flash-freq' instead.
Warning: Deprecated: Option '--flash_size' is deprecated. Use '--flash-size' instead.
Warning: Deprecated: Command 'write_flash' is deprecated. Use 'write-flash' instead.
When I click the Flash or build, flash and monitor. How can I fix this?
Thanks
