Adding snippets not working in nRF connect VS Code extension

[mark.blackburn.orpyx]

I was trying to add the nrf91-modem-trace-uart snippet to my build configuration. I've found that it does not take effect when using the "Add Build Configuration" UI in the nRF Connect for VS Code extension.

I was able to the the snippet working calling west directly using the following command:

west build --build-dir build . --pristine --board nrf9160dk_nrf9160_ns -S nrf91-modem-trace-uart

When using the extension, I tried pressing the "Add snippet" button and picking the nrf91-modem-trace-uart from the drop down. But the command line for west doesn't include a parameter for the snippet.

nRF Connect for VS Code: v2024.7.13

Toolchain: v2.6.1

SDK: v2.6.1

Hi,

Could you share the full build log from this?
(Found in the Terminal in VS Code)

I tried to add a snippet and it works on my side. Also a colleague.

Did you remember to click this button?

I did not remember to do this. How embarassing...

This works for me now.

Sorry for the report. And thanks for your help. The issue can be closed.

Happy that I could help!
I have reported this internally as a potential UI issue. It is in general good for us to track what users can miss so we can make the user experience as good as possible.
