NCS Manual Setup working with Nordic Connect SDK for VS Code

Himel

Hello,

I have setup the NCS (Nordic Connect SDK) following the manual setup in WSL2 (Debian). 
https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/2.5.0/nrf/installation/installing.html#additional-deps

I can build and flash an application fine using the command prompt.

I am trying to see if I can get my setup to work with the Nordic Connect SDK for VS Code extension. 

The extension finds the correct toolchain, however when I setup a build configuration and try to build, it fails on python dependencies.

I believe this happens because when following the install setup I used a virtual environment to install the python dependencies (outlined in step 5).

Is there anyway to configure the Nordic Connect SDK for VS Code extension to activate the virtual environment (venv) for the terminal it uses to compile the application?

Thanks in an advance for reading over my issue and any responses,

Himel

    Hi Himel

    Could you generate the support information from VScode by clicking the generate support information button in the top right corner

    Also, are you running VScode from WSL2? 

    Regards

    Thanks
    could you try the following: 
    Override the default environment that west would use based on what the environment is within the virtual environment. This can be done in settings: https://nrfconnect.github.io/vscode-nrf-connect/reference/settings.html#nrf-connectwestenv

    Hi Ruanr,

    I was trying to use that option before opening this issue. As a test, I even included sourcing the venv environment for my project in the .bashrc file. This is the output from bash -c printenv which is supposed to be used when the value is set to terminal. However I still get the same ModuleNotFoundError.
