hello_word example builds with 15 errors in Eclipse's Problem tab, partly outside desired output build directory (IEP-809)

[JBHunterI]

I built your hello_world example from the ESP-IDF Eclipse Plugin v2.7.0 with no changes, & it caused the Problem tab to fill with 15 errors, the comes-up with this pop-up when you try to run it, although it seems to run fine:

Also, I tried to specify an output directory other than "build", and it still created a "build" directory with only an "ide" directory in it:

I confirmed the exact same project built with idf.py -B <output_build_dir> from the ESP-IDF CMD shell doesn't create this build\ide\esp-idf-components directory structure in the root of the example project. I'm worried this will interfere with anything I build in the "build" directory, as your build_system -> cmake -> multi_config example will have me do. Any ideas?

[prj]

Same here.
Installed just the ESP IDF tools, created a project from example template, and nothing gets resolved.
IDE unusable.

I am going to try VSCode, if you look at this issue then it has been unsolved for years now, and getting this plugin to work is some voodoo dance of finding the very special Eclipse version where it works.

Even the espressif-ide installed with their own installer has this problem with Hello World. So this plugin is unusable in reality.

[JBHunterI]

I've been told VSCode/PlatformIO isn't an option since Espressif seems to have chosen to only officially support Eclipse as the graphical IDE. I'm now trying to use only the ESP-IDF shell command-line tools to build & write to Flash (ex: idf.py build/menuconfig/flash) and debug using openocd + gdbgui/gdbtui. That leaves me free to use my favorite editor/IDE to manage the source files, and only deal with ESP-IDF issues. I'll still have to make sure everyone else in my dev team will be able to do use what I check-in with this IDF Eclipse Plugin, but at at least I won't have to deal with its instability. This workflow is also more portable between development workstation OS's (Windows, Linux, macOS).

[prj]

I tried VSCode, and it's even worse. If you try to follow what it says, then it doesn't even build. There are no error messages, just lots of things that do absolutely nothing.

I managed to get the Eclipse to work. I think they screwed it up bigtime at some point.
The solution is to use the 2.4.2 version. I am even using v5.0 tools with it.

All I did was remove the 2.7.0 that came with the tools, and drop the 2.4.2 in there instead. Build the project and no errors or problems, everything gets resolved just fine.
Here is a link:
https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclipse-plugin/releases/tag/v2.4.2

Get the relevant whole distro under "Espressif IDE" for your OS.
See if the issue is solved for you as well this way. It's like it is magic. Just works. 2.6.0 also has the same issue, I did not try 2.5.0. I am testing with the softAP project on an ESP32-S3.

Hi @prj I am sorry that it didn't work out of the box. Would you mind dropping a mail to ide.support@espressif.com so that we could connect over Zoom/Teams(whatever works for you) and understand more about your issue?

[kolipakakondal]

Hi @JBHunterI

By default build output is written to /project-path/build directory. However, you should be able to change this using the build configuration window through CMake arguments as specified here

But there is a catch here, even if you specify a different build directory you still find the /project/build/ide/esp_idf_components folder to support editor source code navigation. Please remember actual build-generated artifacts will be written to the custom build directory which you have specified, for example in your case /project/release. There shouldn't be a problem with this in resolving headers and indexing. Anyway, will provide a fix for this as soon as possible.

If you still have a problem with unresolved headers, please provide us with a sample example so that we could verify.

Thanks

@kolipakakondal I do not do anything special whatsoever. I simply installed using the Windows online installer, and installed also esp IDE.
Then started it from c:\Espressif\tools\Espressif-IDE.
After that I created a project based on SoftAP template. After first build everything is resolved, after a second build nothing is anymore. I did not modify any settings.

Then I deleted my workspace, and tried the same exact process by installing the plugin on Eclipse 2022-12, from the update site and pointing to the already existing tools, with the exact same result.
I actually tried this multiple times, thinking I am doing something wrong.

I then again deleted the workspace, downloaded 2.4.2, removed the current espressif-ide folder and placed 2.4.2 there instead.
Again created a new SoftAP template based project, built it, and now everything stayed resolved also after multiple consecutive builds and flashes.

I don't think any remote is necessary, you clearly introduced some kind of bug after 2.4.2 (or maybe 2.5.0, I don't know). This issue is widely reported on your own forums, on reddit and other places. I am not the only one with the issue.
Either way, I will stick with 2.4.2 for now, as I can start to get work done instead of fighting with the development environment.

Then I deleted my workspace, and tried the same exact process by installing the plugin on Eclipse 2022-12, from the update site and pointing to the already existing tools, with the exact same result.

Eclipse CDT 2022-12 is a new release that is not yet supported by the plugin. I would recommend using Eclipse CDT 2022-09 and 06 versions. Will keep you posted on the new eclipse version support availability.

I was trying to test this issue on Windows and macOS and I couldn't reproduce this issue. Maybe something else is missing.

Tested environment:

• Espressif IDE v2.7.0 ESP-IDF Windows Installer from here
• java 11.0.7 2020-04-14 LTS
• Windows 10

Just in case if it's useful I have uploaded a recording of this complete scenario starting from downloading Espressif IDE v2.7.0 ESP-IDF Windows Installer to building a project.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU3UHvOyvLE

[prj]

I can tell you right away what I did differently, I started with the online installer and I used toolset 5.0.
Not the 2nd installer you selected.

Not sure if that affects anything. 2.4.2 is working perfectly for me, and I am using that for now.

If I will have time, I will record the full installation process for you... but I don't really want to break my existing setup.

[kolipakakondal]

I did further testing with the Online installer

• I have downloaded https://dl.espressif.com/dl/idf-installer/esp-idf-tools-setup-online-2.17.exe which is the latest Universal Online Installer for Windows
• Selected ESP-IDF v5.0 and Espressif-IDF during the installation
• Launched Espressif-IDE from the desktop shortcut
• Created softAp project from the template list
• Built with esp32c3 target - build went fine and no errors were reported in the indexing
• Made some changes in the softap_example_main.c and rebuilt the project - build and indexing went fine
• Changed target to esp32
• Built again - no errors reported during the build and indexing went fine
• Restarted IDE just to see if that's causing any issues. But I couldn't find any unresolved header issues even after the eclipse restart.

Anyway if you come across the same error please share us the sample project, error log, and parser log.

[prj]

Did you use the default workspace location or a different, new workspace location?
Also, I use ESP32-S3 target. But I think target did not matter.

I was using the new workspace location and tried with esp32-s3 as well.

[kolipakakondal]

My bad, there seems to be an issue with the Hello_world template with esp-idf v5.0(not earlier versions). I could find some unresolved symbols. Let us work on this.

Thanks for all the pointers.

Workaround:
Unresolved symbol issues from Hello-world disappear if we move esp_chip_info.h import statement to the top
