I have made sure that the ESP-32 chip is connected to my computer via Device Manager (and have the correct drivers installed) and tried redownloading Arduino IDE, but none have helped yet so far. Line 9 mentioned in the error message above is "catch {[source [find target/esp_version.cfg]]}". Please advise on next course of action. Thank you!
It is mandatory to have a hardware debug probe in order to use the Arduino IDE 2.x integrated sketch debugger with an ESP32 board. You can't use the sketch debugger if you only have the ESP32 board connected to your computer with a USB cable as usual.
From your error-messages you seem to have activated hardware-debugging.
But you did not write anything if you really want to do this.
From this thread beeing your very first thread I assume you are a beginner.
So maybe you are just trying to upload some code and that's it.
Regardless of beeing a beginner or not you should post much more detail-information what your setup is and what you try to do.
In case you are a beginner
I'm pretty sure that you agree and will follow the way how to solve your problem mimimum 200 minutes faster.
This requires to invest 20 minutes of your precious time to read how to speedup solving your problems.
Directly after registering you got presented informations how to speed up solving your problem.
You should really read it.

OK, so you must not click the "Start Debugging" button on the Arduino IDE toolbar:
You can of course still use the "Verify" button when you want to compile the sketch, and the "Upload" button when you want to upload the sketch to the board.
As an alternative to the Arduino IDE 2.x integrated sketch debugger, you can fall back on our old trusty technique of using Serial Monitor to debug the code. Just add Serial.print calls to strategic locations in your sketch code, printing relevant information, upload the updated sketch to the board, open Serial Monitor, then watch the output printed in Serial Monitor to get an understanding of what it happening in the program. There are some limitations to this approach when compared to using a debug probe, but the Arduino community and embedded systems engineers in general have used it quite successfully for decades.
If you do want to use the sketch debugger, you can either buy an ESP-Prog probe, or buy one of the boards that don't require an external probe. The boards that are based on the ESP32-S3 and ESP32-C3 have a built-in debugging support via their USB connection. This includes the official Nano ESP32 board (which uses the ESP32-S3 microcontroller):
Good moornig All
I have the same problem, while trying to debug esp32 projecto in Arduino, I'm going to try to explain it:
1.- At the moment to click on init debug:
2.- Version of Arduino IDE 2.3.2
3.- Tools used to debug: esp-prog
4.- I have install last driver from FTTDI (CDM212364_Setup
5.- Using Zadig app, I have change the configuration on interface 1, according to picture below
6.- On Administrador de dispositivos, that is the situation then of last step
7.- That is the content of esp_common.cfg at line 9: catch {[source [find target/esp_version.cfg]]}
and content of esp_version.cfg:
# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later
set EXPECTED_VER "v0.12.0-esp32-20240318"
8.- I have unistall and install CDM21228_setup, and configure Zadig, several times trying to fix problems.
9.- openocd --version
Open On-Chip Debugger 0.11.0
10.- Alsi I haveSelect Tools > Programmer > Esptool from the Arduino IDE menus and selected IDE's Tools > JTAG Adapter menu.
11.- Module board used, esp32 Wroom dev, in Arduino I have selected ESP32 Dev Module.
I hope you have enough information to begin understand my problem, thanks all.
I've managed to solve it!!!!, in my case the folder
C:\Users>user>\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\tools\openocd-esp32\v0.12.0-esp32-20240318\share\openocd\scripts\interface> there is a file called wit this content:
ft232r.cfg
SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later
adapter driver ft232r
adapter speed 1000
Investigating it seems that content was missing, so tha is the right way to fix the problems:
ft232r.cfg
