Extension

I couldn't insert the log because "Comment is too long (maximum is 65536 characters)"

Description

The project is building normally, but when running vs code, C/C++ issues a message

[11/23/2023, 9:02:41 AM] Unable to resolve configuration with compilerPath "${env:IDF_TOOLS_PATH}\tools\xtensa-esp32-elf\esp-12.2.0_20230208\xtensa-esp32-elf\bin\xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc.exe".  Using "cl.exe" instead.

Is this normal behavior? I would like to remove these messages because they are very annoying.

Debug Message

Other Steps to Reproduce

I deleted the ESP-IDF extension and its folders because I installed it a long time ago. Then I installed the extension again

I have checked existing issues, online documentation and the Troubleshooting Guide

• I confirm I have checked existing issues, online documentation and Troubleshooting guide.

Change config:idf.toolsPath to config:idf.toolsPathWin

[boris-gu]

Thank you, it helped.
Is there anyway to configure it so that I don't have to change this text myself?

[boris-gu]

I tried installing the esp-id on another computer and there I had another problem with this line. When creating a project (clean or from an example), the problem line looks like this:
"compilerPath": "${config:idf.toolsPath}undefined",
Instead of the path to the compiler, it writes undefined. Why did this happen and how can I fix it?

I do not know if I should create a new issue to solve this problem, so I wrote here

I'll make a bug fix for this a new PR.

Seems your extension might not be configured since the last part is giving undefined. Will check out too so it doesn't use this value.

[boris-gu]

I found a solution to the second problem: for some reason the username was capitalized. I don't remember changing anything in this field. Maybe I forgot or the problem is due to the synchronization of vs code (on one computer I have a user Boris and on the other boris)

[brianignacio5]

It could be settings sync. I would recommend to disable if settings across machines have different locations.

Change config:idf.toolsPath to config:idf.toolsPathWin

I have same issue, where I can change this settings please ?

[boris-gu]

.vscode/c_cpp_properties.json in your project

Im getting the same error "compilerPath": "${config:idf.toolsPathWin}undefined",

This might be related to your extension not being configured properly at the time you created the project. Check the ESP-IDF: Doctor Command output. If extension is configured correctly you can re-create this file again with ESP-IDF: Add vscode configuration folder after deleting the original file.
