Hi Elfving

Ok, understood. Thanks for the clarification.

It's funny that our configuration worked until recently, but is now causing problems. However, I guess we then need to consider to refactor our project to use the nrfutil installled SDK outside our workspace.

BR, Stefan

Hello again Stefan,

According to the R&D team, this is expected, there is no valid use-case that the toolchain should be in VS Code workspace, so that specific setting does not and will not handle VS Code variables.

The toolchains are installed by nrfutil toolchain-manager and we trust that it keeps it's registry wherever it keeps it's registry. We use our bundled toolchain-manager in the extension, but if a user has nrfutil installed on the command line, they can list/install/search/... outside of VSCode. There's a default location different on all platforms where the toolchains are installed, that can also be changed.

See here and here.

Regards,

Elfving

Hello Elfving

Thanks for taking up the ticket. NRF Connect for VS Code extension is on version v2024.3.25.

Actually I uninstalled all related vs-code extensions and re-installed them via Nordics Toolchain Manager (before my initial support request). I also disabled all other, unrelated extensions, to avoid possible interference.

Hello Stefan,

I am not sure about this myself, but I've forwarded these questions to the R&D team responsible. Could you check that you are using the newest version of the VSC extension though?

Regards,

Elfving
