testing new toolchain in vs code - issues?

[Lorenzo Amicucci]

Hi

in VS Code, in the new toolchain /SDK management, when I click on Manage SDKs and then  "install SDK", I get failure

Command failed: git ls-remote --tags --heads github.com/.../sdk-nrf

'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

Second issue: 
before I was used to open bash easily on toolchain manager.

Now, in VS Code, I cannot find open bash. I can open some terminals, but they land in the project folder, not on the sdk repo that I am using.

Clearly, it seems to me we miss the function to open bash from inside that specific SDK


Thanks

Looks like that terminal profile is not set up properly. if you type in

>echo $PATH

what pops up?

on powershell, It returns nothing. 
Definitely, I agree something on the terminal is not set up right

Hi Lorenzo,

I was not able to reproduce you installation errors unfortunately. It installed successfully here at my end. I have asked internally regarding this and will check around for the "Open bash" functionality too and get back to you soon.

Hi Lorenzo,

I have heard back from the experts. The failed command might have been caused because of git not being installed in the system. We have a fix for this which should be reflected in the upcoming recovery release.

Also, they mentioned that commands for opening the SDK directory in a shell are not included, but the user can cd $ZEPHYR_BASE to get there (cd %ZEPHYR_BASE% on Windows).

Moreover, you do not have bash available in your environment because the system doesn't see one. Shell executables need to be configured under settings: terminal.integrated.profiles.windows when it's not in the PATH. They should appear as a terminal profile selector when there is more than one in the top-right corner of the TERMINAL panel.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Priyanka
