VScode extension June 2023 Version is breaking my workspace

[AndrewSafehear]

Hello,

Since 4 days ago, when the extensions were updated, my vscode workspace is not working properly.

I have a custom module with Kconfigs, drivres and boards in it situated at the root of my workspace (same folder as the nrf and zephyr folders).
With the April version of the extensions, it work fine but when I use the latest version, the extensions don't find my custom boards on the new config screen and I can't open the Kconfig GUI.

Here are some screens of the errors.

For the missing customs boards:

And for the Kconfig error:

To be clear, when I downgrade the extensions, it's working correctly.

Is it possible to check this issue ?

Kind regards,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Hello,

After restarting my computer it seems even the version of April is not working all the time for Kconfig (sometimes it work but not always).

It was working fine last week.

Regards,

If the boards cannot be found automatically, then as a quick fix, the extension must follow the configuration: https://nrfconnect.github.io/vscode-nrf-connect/reference/settings.html#nrf-connectboardroots

The folder is already inside boardRoots as a quick fix in case of an error while parsing the modules and it's still not working sadly...

"nrf-connect.applications": [
			"${workspaceFolder}\\applications\\Louis",
			"${workspaceFolder}\\applications\\versailles",
			"${workspaceFolder}\\applications\\utils\\radio_test",
			"${workspaceFolder}\\applications\\utils\\802154_phy_test",
			"${workspaceFolder}\\applications\\utils\\rtu_server",
			"${workspaceFolder}\\applications\\utils\\audio_notif"
		],
		"nrf-connect.boardRoots": [
			"${workspaceFolder}/safehear"
		],
		"nrf-connect.topdir": "${workspaceFolder}",
		"nrf-connect.toolchain.path": "${nrf-connect.toolchain:2.4.0}",

Hi Andrew,

Based on the configuration value, maybe the  ${workspaceFolder}/safehear/boards/arm/<customboardname>  folder exists.

Yes this folder exists. But it's not showing when creating a new config for a project.

From the Support Information it also looks like you have a lot of applications under the same workspace folder. I have anyway reported this internally and will discuss this. I will get back to you as soon as we get a solution.
