@brianignacio5 hi !

Tested under:
OS - WIndows 10

I have installed ESP-IDF v5.2 using "Configure ESP-IDF extension" and then I used
"ESP-IDF: Use ESP-IDF setup from IDF Installer" and selected v5.1.2 from the dropdown list.
Then I have built the project and noticed that it still uses version 5.2.

Probably because these command saves new settings in Global Scope (User Settings) but you are using Configure ESP-IDF extension to save settings in workspace folder.

EDIT: Fixed to save it to current workspace folder.

@brianignacio5 hi !

OS - Windows 10

I did some mess in esp_idf.json file and trying to install v5.2 using "ESP-IDF: ESP-IDF setup from IDE Installer"

and get this error while switching from 4.4.7 to 5.2

I am not sure if the error message is clear enough.
Moreover, this info message telling me that command has failed, but as I can see it has switched from 4.4.7 to 5.2 somehow and build project
