Description

trying to get this working and have hit my know-how-limit...

the latest zip files was downloaded from:
https://github.com/espressif/kicad-libraries
https://github.com/espressif/kicad-libraries/releases/tag/3.2.1

then installed using "install from file" in kicad 10.0.5 (win11 home)

and still get:
~\.local\bin\uv run python .\scripts\resolve_library.py
ERROR: KiCad 10.0 is the running version (kicad-cli 10.0.5), but its Espressif library addon is not installed.

Install it:
1. Open KiCad 10.0
2. Plugin and Content Manager -> search "Espressif"
3. Install the "Espressif KiCad Libraries" addon -> Apply
4. Re-run: uv run python scripts/resolve_library.py

Or point ESPRESSIF_3RDPARTY at a 3rdparty dir that contains symbols/com_github_espressif_kicad-libraries.

help?..

Research direction

Start with scripts/resolve_library.py and its handling of the KiCad 10.0.5 executable and Espressif addon. Reproduce the reported command on Windows 11, then check whether the Plugin and Content Manager installation or ESPRESSIF_3RDPARTY path is recognized. Done means the resolver detects the installed Espressif library without reporting that the addon is missing.
