Dependencies not found despite installed on esp-idf framework

[SodaWithoutSparkles]

The problem

I was trying to use the IRremoteESP8266 library to implement control of a daikin air conditioner. Code of which can be found here. The issue is that, when using the esp-idf framework, esphome reports missing dependency, despite installing it.

Which version of ESPHome has the issue?

2024.4.1 and 2024.4.2

What type of installation are you using?

Docker

Which version of Home Assistant has the issue?

Does not matter

What platform are you using?

ESP32

Board

Compile time issue, not even installed to hardware

Component causing the issue

library manager(?)

Example YAML snippet

esphome:
  name: test-esp32
  friendly_name: test-esp32
  includes: 
    # Find this file at the linked repo
    - include/irdaikin.h
  libraries:
    - crankyoldgit/IRremoteESP8266@^2.8.6

esp32:
  board: esp32dev
  framework:
    # Change this to arduino and it would be fine
    type: esp-idf

# Enable logging
logger:

# Enable Home Assistant API
api:
  encryption:
    key: "REDACTED"

      auto daikinac = new DaikinAC();
      daikinac->set_sensor(id(living_room_temperature));
      App.register_component(daikinac);
      return {daikinac};
    climates:
      - name: "AC"
        on_state: 
          - lambda: |-
              id(ac_status).publish_state(x.mode != CLIMATE_MODE_OFF);

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

I get similar issues when trying to include external libraries, did you find a solution?

[Gadgit83]

You may need a 'platformio.ini' file alongside your .yaml file in the ESPHome config folder with content something like this:

[env:test-esp32]
platform = espressif32
board = esp32dev
framework = arduino
lib_deps =
  crankyoldgit/IRremoteESP8266@^2.8.6

[SodaWithoutSparkles]

@Gadgit83 but I am not using the arduino framework?

And no, I did not find a solution. I just bought a esp8266.
