Hello,

Are you trying to do a fresh install of the nRF Connect VS Code extension, or did this happen after an update and you tried reinstalling? Which OS are you working with?

Can you follow the steps mentioned in this thread? The thread discusses something very similar. Let me know if the solution discussed helped resolve your issue.

Kind Regards,

Abhijith

I have the same issue where the the nrf connect extension doesn't load. I followed Zsn's solution, removed the nRF Connect for VS Code Extension Pack, and the nrf connection extension worked correctly, even after restarting VS Code.

It appears that the extension fails when the nRF Kconfig extension is installed, enabled, AND Kconfig.Python is not set correctly.
nRF Kconfig is included in the nRF Connect for VS Code Extension Pack.

Removing/disabling nRF Kconfig, or correctly setting Kconfig.Python allows the nRF extension to run, as nature intended.


(macOS Sonoma 14.5, VS Code Version: 1.90.2 (Universal), nRF Config v2024.6.20)

I'm having the same problem, but setting the Python 3 path in Kconfig.Python doesn't solve it for me (I'm using a Python virtual environment, not sure if that matters).
