I have the same problem with another error. I have also tried manually putting the ESP32 into download mode. Same error with or without doing that:

Hi @gustavomaltez. Thanks so much for taking the time to report this serious bug! It turned out to be a problem with the Arduino CLI tool the Arduino Pro IDE uses under the hood for a lot of the Arduino-specific things that aren't related to the GUI. It was fixed by arduino/arduino-cli#457

This should now be working in the new 0.1.4 release of Arduino Pro IDE.

If you try it out and find that the problem is still occurring, feel free to comment here and we'll investigate.
