"No Toolchain found for Target Local" When trying to build projects downloaded from the web. (IDFGH-8143)

[SC3228]

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.

V4.4.1

Operating System used.

Windows

How did you build your project?

Eclipse IDE

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

CMD

What is the expected behavior?

Build Successfully. IDF is setup correctly if I load an example "File -> New -> Espressif IDF Project" and select from the list of example projects the build is successful.

I cannot load any existing project from the filesystem though.

What is the actual behavior?

Build fails with error "No Toolchain found for Target Local"

Steps to reproduce.

1. Install ESP-IDF and Tools
2. Install Eclipse CDT Ver 2022-06 (4.24.0)
3. File-> Import -> Espressif -> Existing IDF Project
4. Next
5. Browse for existing project folder
6. "Select Folder"
7. "Finish"
8. Right Click Project in Project Explorer
9. "Build Project"

Open a console execute get_idf to get the idf settings. If you use eclipse or vscode for development start the editor from the console.

With recent versions of espressif-ide, we only show esp targets for esp-idf projects, there is no scope for local target. Hence, closing this issue.
