RE: How to override automatic BOARD_ROOT in VS Code extension

Thank you. This environment was installed with Toolchain manager, however I did modify the installed version of the extension in VS code in order to test whether this was a new behavior.

The nrf-connect.boardRoots setting did indeed contain the problematic board path. I don't recall adding it there but it must have been my doing! With that cleaned up the CMake warning no longer occurs. Thanks for reminding me of this setting.

It still seems odd (misleading) that the GUI allows to edit the "Extra CMake arguments" for BOARD_ROOT, even though edits will be discarded. At least now I have a better understanding of how to manipulate its auto-generated content.

Hi,

Generally I would recommend using the Toolchain manager on Windows, and then you will get the environment we test (including with nRF Connect for VS Code). But regardless, you can provide the Board Root by setting nrf-connect.boardRoots in your VS Code settings. Have you done that?
