nrf-connect.boardRoots with relative path

[Julien]

Hi 

I'm trying to add relative path to nrf-connect.boardRoots using 

"nrf-connect.boardRoots": ["${workspaceFolder}"]

It seems that "${workspaceFolder}" it is not known.

There is a way to use relative path, i need it because we are using git repo and it's cumbersome to use an absolute path because we have to change it for each branch

Best Regards,

Julien

Hi Julien,

Can you share the error you get?
Is the boards directory located in the workspace folder, such that you have workspacefolder/boards/arm/custom_board?

Hi

The issue is i'm not seeing custom board when i want to build a configuration

If i'm using "nrf-connect.boardRoots": ["${workspaceFolder}"] the fied custom board not present.

The board directory is located in same direction as settings.json

Best regards

Hi Julien,

Julien said:

Is this inside the .vscode directory? The workspace directory will be the directory that has the .vscode directory inside of it, not the .vscode directory itself.
The structure should be similar to this:

workspace_directory
   |___ .vscode
        |___settings.json
   |___ boards
        |___arm
            |___custom_board
   |___ ...

Thanks it works fine !

Last questions, initially my boards directory are located two levels up from the current directory like this

boards
    |___arm
        |___custom_board
    |___    
        |___workspace_directory
            |___ .vscode
                |___settings.json
           |___ ...

so i try this

	"nrf-connect.boardRoots": ["${workspaceFolder}/../.."]

but again i'm not seeing the custom board.

Best regards,
