Answers checklist.

• I have read the documentation ESP-IDF Programming Guide and the issue is not addressed there.
• I have updated my IDF branch (master or release) to the latest version and checked that the issue is present there.
• I have searched the issue tracker for a similar issue and not found a similar issue.

IDF version.

v5.1

Operating System used.

Linux

How did you build your project?

Command line with idf.py

If you are using Windows, please specify command line type.

None

What is the expected behavior?

I encounter an error when I try to set-my target to esp32s2, using the esp-mesh-lite component, and including mesh_client.h
I expect idf.py to set the target to esp32s2

What is the actual behavior?

Instead, it returns the error

 CMake Error at /home/onepower/esp/esp-idf/components/mqtt/CMakeLists.txt:1

I searched through /esp/esp-idf/components/mqtt/esp-mqtt, and could not locate the required file, CMakeLists.txt, which the error correctly picks out.

Steps to reproduce.

1. run install.sh for required target, from esp-idf folder
2. run export.sh
3. Go to example project (in my case, the project is esp-mesh-lite/examples/mesh_local_control)
4. Run idf.py set-target esp32s2 (The error occurs here)
   ...

Can you try running git submodule update --init in /home/onepower/esp/esp-idf? CMakeLists.txt file of the component comes from a submodule. If you don't see it, it is probably because the submodule is not initialized.

I tried it and it worked, thanks
