MissingPackageManifestError: Could not find one of 'package.json' manifest files in the package

First time I tried it stopped on some unpack/install part and just didn’t do nothing.
So I pressed retry and now I get this error each time.
I have tried to restart the esp addon.

This is the yaml it is trying to compile on a guition lvlg display.

I have removed a lot of the LVGL stuff just to focus on the USB UART.
I want to get one thing working then I continue with the rest.

But what can I do to get this working.
Other devices can be installed.
It’s just this one I get the error on, but also just this one that has USB UART.
So… Could be…

Edit, I have also tried the clean build.

Edit 2; I can’t compile a new device either.

Remove encryption keys and passwords from your post

Try “clean build files” in esphome
3vertical dots next to yaml files

Already done, as I wrote in the post.

uninstall the ESPHome addon and reinstall. Something is not right with your installation.

That seems to be working.
Thanks.
Always nervous when removing something, but it worked just fine to uninstall and reinstall again.
Everything was still there and all devices seems to be working.

The ESPHome Builder is only used for compiling the firmware.
The connection to HA is done through the integration,which is independent from ESPHome Builder.
