Hi @zamek42,

Could you please check if the LSP editor settings are configured correctly? To do this go to Preferences -> C/C++ -> Editor(LSP) ->clangd. My settings for esp32 look like this:

If you are using the latest ESP-IDF IDE or plugin, these settings should be configured automatically after installing the tools, setting the target, and building the project. Here are some specifics:

• Path Options: This should be set up automatically after tool installation. If it's not, try clicking Restore Defaults on the clangd preference page.
• Drivers: This setting depends on the target selected in the launch bar. If it’s empty, try reselecting the target; for example, select ESP32-S2, then switch back to ESP32.
• Additional Settings: These options are used for source navigation and are configured automatically after building the project.

Let me know if that helped. Thanks

Hi Sigmaaa,

Thx for your replay. When I click to clangd settings I've got an error: "The currently displayed page contains invalid values".
And then when I click somewhere else and click back it displayed but every fields are empty. And when I fill everything as you suggested, and save it, it seems it does not save it.

thx,
Zamek

Hi @zamek42,

I haven't been able to reproduce this issue. It could be due to missing dependencies. Are you currently using Espressif-IDE or the IDF plugin? If you're using the IDF plugin, I recommend trying the Espressif-IDE instead. You can download it here: Espressif-IDE v3.1.0. Please check if the issue persists there.

Hello, I encountered the same problem while using Espressif-ID v3.0.0. Upon reinstalling, I noticed that I do not have the "esp-clang" folder at the following path: Espressif\tools\esp-clang. However, in the Esp-IDE (Preferences -> C/C++ -> Editor (LSP) -> clangd), the settings are automatically configured to the same paths as yours, even though one of the folders is missing. I added the missing folder with the contents, reset the settings in ESP-IDE to the default, and manually re-entered them. After that, the problem was resolved. I restarted the system and the program, and everything was fine, but after the first compilation of any project, the problem returned.

New install this week (Win11). I had the same problem and your fix worked. In my case the path just said clangd and nothing else. Everything else was correct. I browsed to the clangd.exe and that worked. Thanks.
