Not possible to navigate menuconfig menu when using platformio
mike6000 opened this issue · 2 comments
Navigating menuconfig was not possible inside platformio. None of the keys (up, down arrow etc) worked. However ESC worked.
By running pio run -t menuconfig instead in a cmd window outside platformio the navigation keys worked.
(Windows 10 OS)
This is a known incompatibility between Visual Studio Code and ESP-IDF. See e.g. espressif/vscode-esp-idf-extension#6
Several workarounds are mentioned. But I'm not sure if they are all compatible with PlatformIO. Espressif recommends to use the ESP-IDF extension instead. But that's a non-PlatformIO as well.
My workaround was to open a separate cmd window in Windows. Then run pio run -t menuconfig outside platformio. The menuconfig navigation seems to work ok by this methos.
I close this issue now, it is meant to help others that might experience the same problem when following the platformio tutorial on ttn-esp32 wiki.
