• [x] This is a bug report for the ESP-IDF Visual Studio Code extension and not an ESP-IDF bug report.
• [x] I've read the docs and found no information that could have helped solving the issue.

Describe the bug I just installed this extension on vscode to test esp32-s3 board. I created an example blink project, now when I choose 'ESP32-S3' after clicking 'Set Espresiff Device Target" command, I am getting asked to add --preview flag error in vsocde, so it does not go any further.

which I did in my configuration, but it doesn't help, where should I add that flag? I added in tasks.json, like

command": "${config:idf.pythonBinPath} ${config:idf.espIdfPath}/tools/idf.py --preview build",
