In short, I have troubles updating SDK version via both (nRF Connect SDK for desktop and VSCode). Could someone help me out there and help me understand what are the causes of these installation errors? Installing new SDK version should not be this complicated..

UPDATE

 

The issue might be related to company security policy. I think it is preventing from fully installing NCS for some reason.

[Karl Ylvisaker]

Hello,

I am glad to read that you were able to figure out the reason for the issue you were seeing! :) 

The issue might be related to company security policy. I think it is preventing from fully installing NCS for some reason.

I have heard of this being an issue in the past as well, if your company has very strict firewall settings.
These might sometimes prevent the SDK from downloading specific packages completely - if you compare the installation logs from both your personal computer and the company computer you should see the affected packages there.

Best regards,
Karl

I still cannot figure out what is the issue fully.

Have you checked the logs that I have attached? There does not seem to be any errors, it just says "exited with code 0" in the middle of the installation.

I have tried to install the NCS while antivirus is disabled for 15 minutes but that also did not work. I am thinking of any other way to check what could be an issue. Perhaps you have any ideas?

Since I have installed NCS 2.5.0 via nRF Connect for Desktop (even though its not showing up on VScode).

Is there any way to check if it fully installed? Is there any way to "manually" add it to vscode? Perhaps there is some settings I need to change in nRF Connect for VS Code extension settings ? Do I need to manually add NCS path to environment variables?

[Karl Ylvisaker]

Hello,

Thank you for the very detailed report, and for the clarifications! :) 

I have asked our VSC extension developers to examine this to see if they can figure out the root cause. I will update you here as soon as I hear back from them.

Best regards,
Karl

[Karl Ylvisaker]

Hello again,

The engineers took a look, and they wanted me to emphasize that you will not be able to interact with the global SDK installations as soon as you have a another west workspace in your VSC workspace - there can only be 1 at the time.
If you would like to work with the global SDK installation instead you can open a new VSC instance and use the 'open as workspace' option under file, and select the SDK location.

It is also not quite clear to them why you are not able to see the globally installed SDKs.
Could you share with us the output when you generate support information?
You can do this by pressing ctrl + shift + p -> generate support information.

Best regards,
Karl

[zazas321]

Yeah. Lets not think too much about west workspace as that is not how I prefer to work with NCS. I just simply mentioned that there is a workarround for me to still be able to work with NCS even though its not working as expected.

Normally, with my personal PC, I just install latest NCS via toolchain manager (not the west workspace) and whenever I open VSCode I can immediately see all installed versions in the Welcome view. I will post the screenshot how it looks on my personal PC when I get back home. But that is not the case at my work computer. I can install as many NCS versions I want but none of them will show up and I will not be able to use NCS unless I create west workspace.

This is how it looks on my personal computer (I have 2 NCS versions installed):

And this is how it looks on my work. As you can see in the Welcome View, no SDK is detected even though I sure installed NCS via toolchain manager.

On both computer, I have followed the exact same installation steps, NCS on both computer were installed via nRF For Desktopt toolchain manager.

I have run the generate information:

It is especially strange because when I click Manage SDKs in the welcome view and click Install SDK, I can then select the version v2.5.0 it shows that it has already installed!

So the VSCode knows that I already have NCS v2.5.0 installed but somehow something is still not right.

Hello,

Thank you for the additional information - it is very strange indeed, especially that your 'workspace' and 'SDK's are empty in the support information too.
The behavior on your personal computer is the expected behavior, at least.

What is the output when you run the following command from any cmd prompt?

reg query HKCU\Software\Kitware\CMake\Packages\Zephyr

Best regards,
Karl

Thank you for keeping up the discussion. 

As you can see from above, there seems to be issue with the registry editing. I will contact system administrator perhaps he can look at this.  In the meantime, is there anything else you would like me to check?

[zazas321]

I am writing with good news! I have contacted my system administrator and shown them the logs above.

System administrator told me that according to GPO (group policy object), the regedit has been disabled for some safety purposes. He applied exception for me and enabled it.

After this, I can confirm that it works like a charm! Thank god we solved it! It is good that you have suggested to try this command because it allowed us to understand what could be an issue exactly!

Hello,

Thank you for the update - I am glad to read that the issue was resolved by getting this system permission! :) 

Please do not hesitate to open another ticket if you should encounter any other issues or questions in the future!

Good luck with your development, and have a great weekend! :)

Best regards,
Karl
