Always "The build configuration is stale. Run a pristine build" in newer versions of nrf connect for vs code

[Maos]

hi!

I get the message "The build configuration is stale. Run a pristine build" even after rebuilding in all versions of nrf connect for vs code after 2023.7.129.

I have tried to remove the workspace and start over but the problem is still there.

I also tried the 2024.5.37 pre-release version to see if the problem is still there.

I tested create a new application based on the "hello world" sample with the same result.

As soon as I switch back to 2023.7.129 the source folder/files show up as expected.

Hello,

Can you also generate support information and upload it here? Open command palette (ctrl+shift+p or View > Command Palette) and write nRF Connect: Generate support information. When you select this the information should be generated in the output terminal windows. Then I can show this to our developer.

Hi!

Yes, I created one running the version and one with the newest version and created a zip with them.

Hello,

I got feedback from team. Could you please check how the toolchain setting ended up in the configuration?

This ${nrf-connect.toolchain:2.6.20240304} seems an invalid version.

We don't think we have version like this.

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

As far as I can remember I have installed both versions thru the "Toolchain Manager" (currently running official version v1.4.1).

Maybe nothing but the version shows differently in the nrf-connect section and in the toolchains section in the support information of the new version (but not the old).

I have also tried to remove the v2.6.0 version and reinstalling it (also remving the file in the download folder) and it still shows this version.

The file I have in the download folder is ncs-toolchain-x86_64-linux-2be090971e.tar.gz
