VSCode NRF Connect plugin broken

luc_eac

Hi

I have been working on a project for some time, using the SDK and the nRF Connect for VS Code plugin. A few weeks ago I stepped away from this to take on different work, but now I am picking it back up to prepare systems for testing.

Out of nowhere the nRF Connect for VS Code plugin doesn't do anything anymore!

The project has not changed, the settings have not changed, the SDK (2.4.0) has not changed - nothing has changed that I know of. I open the project like I always do: Open VSCode, File->Open recent->my project, and expect the plugin to start loading and show me the project, the build targets, etc.. But the NRF CONNECT tab only shows me: >WELCOME and >CONNECTED DEVICES. The plugin does not even open the welcome page anymore.

This is not the first time I have had issues with the toolchain - in fact, I have run into issues pretty much every step of the way now and I am really getting fed up with this. This is taking huge amounts of time - of which we now have very little! Needless to say I am very unhappy about your products, but.. I have to soldier on.

So once again, I ask for your support: How do I get this mess to work again?

VS Code version 1.82.3

nRF Connect for VS Code v2023.9.336

nRF Connect for VS Code Extension Pack v2023.9.4

SDK Version 2.4.0

Edit:

I tried re-installing the plugins (nRF connect for VS Code + Extensions), that did not work.

I tried re-installing VS Code, that did not work either

    I believe the welcome page doesn't exist anymore; all that functionality is just in the welcome tab now.

    My screen only ever looks like what you described if the application isn't added to the nrf extension, although it usually picks it back up automatically i would check that. Are you able to "create a new application"?

    Not really, no. The welcome menu is completely empty:

    This is with the project folder already opened. I usually expect the nRF plugin to load for a bit and then under the welcome tab show the project contents and build targets and such. But that is not happening anymore.

    Edit:

    Also when I try to use the buttons that appear when you hover the welcome tab, for all three I get similar error messages:

    Error running command nrf-connect.openOnlineDocumentation: command 'nrf-connect.openOnlineDocumentation' not found. This is likely caused by the extension that contributes nrf-connect.openOnlineDocumentation.
