Build error

[jetpax]

Just found your great project.

Also having build errors due to missing dist/ui ,

Hi, you're right, I use master branch of ESP-IDF. The project is at the very early stage and, to my knowledge, noone uses it for serious stuff except myself. I will introduce versioning to match specific ESP-IDF release sooner or later, but at this point I just want to keep up with the latest ESP-IDF developments. I understand that this may lead to compile errors now and then, but the best I can suggest at the moment is submitting an issue and I will look into it ASAP.

Regarding the UI issue, I was actually going to switch to yarn3, but I don't think the particular problem you were facing is related to yarn. It may have to do with interoperability of tsc, babel and webpack. I'm glad you figured it out. If you have problems compiling UI in the future, I suggest the following: clone the https://github.com/esp32m/ui.git repository and link it to your web-ui folder using yarn link command. This how I always compile the UI, and it works better than with the @esp32m/ui npm module.

Thank you for the input, feel free to contact me if you have any other issues/questions/suggestions.

Any ideas?

Hi, @jetpax, ESP32M does not use https://github.com/esp32m/ui.git any more, the UI is now located under core/esp32m/web-ui. I'm looking at this line of the log: Usage Error: The nearest package directory (/Users/jep/github/core/examples/basic/build/web-ui) doesn't seem to be part of the project declared in /Users/jep. Do you have package.json file under /Users/jep or in any other folder above /Users/jep/github/core/examples/basic/ ? If so, try to remove it or move the esp32m into a different folder, where no package.json exists up the folder hierarchy. The reason is the way yarn works, it tries to find the common ancestor and unrelated package.json may confuse it

Doh!, that was it, thank you so much for your patience with a yarn noob who doesn't read error messages... Project builds on MacOS on M1 and runs great on ESP32S3 under esp-idf v5.1.2 It looks really well thought out and implemented, thank you!

No problem, thank you for confirming that it builds on MacOS, we tested only on Windows/Linux
