Installation of ESP-AT corrupts installation of ESP-IDF with Eclipse IDE (and vice versa)

[BPaillard]

Answers checklist

• I have read the documentation ESP-AT Programming Guide and the issue is not addressed there.
• I have compiled the hello_world example Get Started with ESP-IDF and the issue is not addressed there.
• I have updated my ESP-AT 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.

ESP-AT version

V3.4.0.0-125-g6b22e5aa

Operating System used

Windows

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

CMD

What is the expected behavior?

I expect to not corrupt the installation of ESP-IDF with Eclipse IDE, but after installing and running ESP-AT framework, the ESP-IDF with Eclipse IDE is not able to build the blink example, until a full reinstall of the framework.

What is the actual behavior?

Corrupts the installation of the ESP-IDF with Eclipse IDE

Steps to reproduce

• Install ESP-IDF with Eclipse IDE. This installs framework V5.4.
• Import blink example into the workspace
• Build, download and test the example on ESP32-C3-Mini1
• Close ESP-IDF/Eclipse IDE
• Use command window to clone, install, configure, build and test ESP-AT (into its own separate directory)
• Close command window
• Reopen ESP-IDF/Eclipse IDE
• Try to rebuild the blink project.
• Now the blink project complains of wrong versions: "requirement 'esptool~=4.8' was not met. Installed version 4.7.0"

•                                                                                " requirement 'esp-idf-kconfig<3.0.0,>=2.0.2' was not met. Installed version 1.5.0
  

• ...
• The only way I found to resolve that issue is to use ESP-IDF-Manager to remove the framework and reinstall it.
• After reinstalling the framework, the blink project now builds and tests OK.
• Now close ESP-IDF/Eclipse IDE
• Open Command window (ESP-IDF5.4 CMD)
• Switch to the directory for ESP-AT
• Run "python build.py menuconfig"
• The command ends with the following error: "ESP-IDF v5.1.5-196-g64849cb703-dirty A fatal error occured: idf.py build failed"
• After that, reinstalling the ESP-AT project makes it build and work again, but then the blink project in the Eclipse IDE does not work again...
• and so on...

Is it expected that both environments cannot cohabitate on the same computer?

Should I plan to use a dedicated computer to manage the ESP-AT project and another one to use with the ESP-IDF/Eclipse IDE environment?
