No dialog to create an Espressif IDF project after installing esp-idf-v5.1.2 at Eclipse 2023-12 (IEP-1129)

[grobi181]

Eclipse 2023-12; esp-idf-v5.1.2; Windows 10 Pro 22H2 Buil19045.3693

After selecting File->NEW->Espressif-IDF-Project, no window appears for creating a new project.

I followed the instructions and installed all components as described.
There is an error message in the error log!

Thanks for help!

Hi @grobi181,

there are some changes in the latest eclipse CDT API which caused this issue https://github.com/eclipse-cdt/cdt/blob/5250f5a07b992458a0395ada47137e534593f276/NewAndNoteworthy/CHANGELOG-API.md#api-changes-in-cdt-114. We will fix it ASAP. While we fixing this, I recommend you to use Espressif-IDE which comes with Eclipse 2023-09+ IEP v2.11.1:

When I install this version, all of my Espressif specific commands in the IDE disappear, including the "Espressif" menu and all the ESP-IDF context menus.

Hi @mbratch,

what version of Eclipse and versions of eclipse cdt, eclipse embedded CDT plugins are you currently using? To check that, open Help -> About Eclipse IDE ->then you will see a dialog like this:

Click on highlighted icons to see the versions of the plugins like this:

The issue probably happened due to dependencies version mismatch. I think you should try to update all the dependencies plugins to the latest versions, which should work fine with our latest plugin. To do that, click Help -> Check for updates.

The other options:

• install fresh eclipse CDT via this link and then install our latest plugin via update site.
• Download Espressif-IDE, which already has all required dependencies installed.
