Description

General
my aim is to create git repo that will contain 2 Project Configurations (for now let's call them Protected and Unprotected). I don't wanna use sdkconfig.default files because I will not switch between ESP-IDF versions in this proect. So, I want to specify settings for every Project Configuration via sdkconfig file (NOT sdkconfig.default), by setting sdkconfig_file_path for each Project Configuration

Specifics of the current problem
I created project configurations "Protected" and "Unpotected", set "Build_Directory_path" as build\unprotected and
"sdkconfig_file_path" as sdkconfigs\unprotected\sdkconfig. But the result is that the sdkconfig file is always generated inside my project's build directory (build\unprotected in this case) with incorrect settings. esp_idf_project_configuration.json file pinned below

esp_idf_project_configuration.json

I also looked in CMakeCache.txt file and found that SDKCONFIG variable is UNINITIALIZED in the same time as it's path written in esp_idf_project_configuration.json

Also here my CMakeLists.txt

CMakeLists.txt

Questions:

1. Is it possible to use sdkconfig without sdkconfig.default files for multi Project Configurations?
2. Why Project sdkconfig's path from esp_idf_project_configuration.json ignored. Maybe I made a mistake or the VSCode extension is not working properly or else?

Debug Message

Tell if u need anything, idk what will be usefull in this case

Other Steps to Reproduce

1. make a project with at least 2 project configurations (using same versions)
2. set specific path to sdkconfig file in each config that differs from default path.
3. Try to build
