Is it possible to run eclipse IDE and VScode IDE parallel on same machine

Postby RalphD » Mon Mar 14, 2022 1:52 pm

obviously not on the same project.

I tried already and got the impression they influence each other. Question is in general, should it be possible or not

Hi RalphD,

Yes, it's possible. They work independently as they don't share any IDE specific project settings and resources. However, they both refer to the same tools as they install in the common folder (/Users/<UserName>/.espressif/...). If you change anything in the tools from one IDE that might impact another one. Otherwise, I don't see any issue.

Let us also give it a try and see what are the challenges will face.

Please do share if you come across any problems.

I run both independently and side by side sometimes without any conflicts. To be safe, I have them working from two different local repositories. I usually spend my time in just one of them, so these two different local repositories don't diverge much or for very long. I only cross over if the one I'm using is giving me grief and I use the other for a while. It may just as likely work fine from the same local folder, I just haven't tried it. As ESP_kondalkolipaka noted, I don't see a reason it shouldn't. You just want to be mindful to keep track of the IDE config files for both environments.
