NRF Connect SDK doesn't stop running Build

Seems like this bug is back...
If there is an error in configuring the network core image in a sysbuild with SDK 3.0.2 VS Code thinks the build never finishes. Is it looking for a file that never comes to determine this instead of the process thread ending since it is reusing the console?

Edit: Turns out when this happens the build folder is just wrong and it thinks it is a parent-child image. Even after restarting VS Code. By editing the build config and asking it to regenerate it with sysbuild it can work again. (After fixing the config error in the network image.)

Einar and I were able to find the software bug. It is going to be included in a future VSCode release. I'll close the case now.

I see. Can you make a private case and upload the project there? Just refer to this thread in the new case so that I am made aware of it.

I could send you the project trough a confidential path, if thats possible. The problem only occures with this project so it probably has something to do with the setup somehow

Have you been able to resolve this? Of find some conditions that are required to trigger it? I have reported this to our VS Code team, but we have not been able to reproduce nor explain what could cause this with version v2023.9.336.

This Issue really seems to be the same as the one Diogo mentions. It also started after upgrading to the latest plugin version...

I actually tried this. But the issue remained the same. There has to be an issue with my project somehow.

The newest version is v2023.9.336 which has this problem

I have set back version v2023.9.169 and now its gone

I have the same issue since a couple of days ( I think last friday?), could it be related to the fix in the latest version of the nrf connect for vs code plugin? As described in :

RE: After Upgrade to 2023.9.169 version of NRF Connect Plugin for VScode, all projects are stuck in the “The Build Configuration is stale. Run a Pristine Build” State.

The build is done succesfully, we can flash the new program and it works fine, but you cannot do a new build, its blocked.

The only solution I have for now is to close and restart vs code everytime...

Hi,

As a workaround you can just create a new project and add your filtes to it... not really ideal but worked for me.

Hi,

I assume you see the same issue if you build with west from the command line and not via VS Code? The only reason I have come across this before is when building a project with itself as a child image (which does not make sense). Could that be the case here?
