menuconfig aborting due to Kconfig warnings

[adoyle-h]

When it has warnings, I cannot open the menuconfig to re-configure the symbols.

Does it work when you call ninja -C /Users/adoyle/Workspace/zephyr/esp32/zephyr/build menuconfig?

[marc-hb]

Does it work if you rename build/ to build.old/ and run west build -t menuconfig again?

[adoyle-h]

Sorry for the late reply.

Does it work when you call ninja -C /Users/adoyle/Workspace/zephyr/esp32/zephyr/build menuconfig?

No, it doesn't work. It has same error to west build -t menuconfig.

Does it work if you rename build/ to build.old/ and run west build -t menuconfig again?

Yes, it works.

This rang a bell, so I spent 2 minutes searching and I found this 2018 duplicate which is still open:

• The contents of .config should not be able to prevent users from running menuconfig. zephyr#9573

So this is unrelated to west but it is a real bug.
