[v5.1][idf.py] coredump-info, partition[0], IndexError: list index out of range (IDFGH-10305)

[chipweinberger]

Answers checklist.

• I have read the documentation ESP-IDF Programming Guide and the issue is not addressed there.
• I have updated my IDF branch (master or release) to the latest version and checked that the issue is present there.
• I have searched the issue tracker for a similar issue and not found a similar issue.

IDF version.

release/v5.1

Operating System used.

MacOS

How did you build your project?

Command line with idf.py

Development Kit.

ESP32-S3

What is the expected behavior?

I should get the coredump.

Note: my partition table is not at the default location CONFIG_PARTITION_TABLE_OFFSET=0xf000, but idf.py does not have an argument to set its location?

What is the actual behavior?

Exception thrown.

Steps to reproduce.

Run idf.py coredump-info

It may be required to have your partition table at a non-default location.

It is reading the wrong location for that parition table...
