How often does this bug occurs?

always

Expected behavior

i have this .sh script that i run before the build :

toolchain_esp32=$(find "$HOME/.espressif/tools" -type f -name "xtensa-esp32-elf-objcopy" | head -1)
toolchain_esp32s3=$(find "$HOME/.espressif/tools" -type f -name "xtensa-esp32s3-elf-objcopy" | head -1)

then i should be able to use objcopy before building my project

Actual behavior (suspected bug)

It appears that the files are missing from the Docker image.

Error logs or terminal output

++ find /root/.espressif/tools" -type f -name "xtensa-esp32-elf-objcopy"
++ head -1
+ toolchain_esp32=
++ find /root/.espressif/tools" -type f -name "xtensa-esp32-elf-objcopy"
++ head -1
+ toolchain_esp32s3=

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1 - Modify the default build action to start the script

   - name: Build ESP-IDF Firmware
      uses: espressif/esp-idf-ci-action@v1
      with:
        command: /app/<user>/<repo>/patch-esp-idf.sh && idf.py build
        esp_idf_version: v4.4

with patch-esp-idf.sh containing :

# Find the objcopy tools dynamically
toolchain_esp32=$(find "$HOME/.espressif/tools" -type f -name "xtensa-esp32-elf-objcopy" | head -1)
toolchain_esp32s3=$(find "$HOME/.espressif/tools" -type f -name "xtensa-esp32s3-elf-objcopy" | head -1)

@Retr0Kr0dy IDF tools are not always placed in $HOME/.espressif, this directory can be specified by IDF_TOOLS_PATH environment variable as described in: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/v4.3/esp32/api-guides/tools/idf-tools.html#tools-installation-directory and our docker image has it set to: /opt/esp

So, you can modify your script to respect this env variable:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Use $IDF_TOOLS_PATH if defined, otherwise fall back to $HOME/.espressif/tools
tools_path="${IDF_TOOLS_PATH:-$HOME/.espressif}/tools"

toolchain_esp32=$(find "$tools_path" -type f -name "xtensa-esp32-elf-objcopy" | head -n 1)
toolchain_esp32s3=$(find "$tools_path" -type f -name "xtensa-esp32s3-elf-objcopy" | head -n 1)
