[Technical] Frustration with VSCode ESP-IDF extension

It

Just

Refuses

To

Work!

 

When using the Espressif IDF extension in Visual Studio Code, I kept getting squiggles under text even when I thought I had muddled through setup correctly, and when I went to wipe everything out and try again I kept getting

Invalid argument: '\\\\${IDF_PATH}\\tools\\kconfig_new\\esp-windows-curses'

The other messages turned out to be key: pip was positively ancient and Python 3.5 is out of support. All I had to do was upgrade to Python 3.9 and ensure that the Visual Studio C++ workload was installed and the Python requirements installation stage completed successfully.
