Error when build configuration with vs code

Hi,

I am using VS code for nordic 9160dk, and when create a new application - copy a sample and choose the Blinky sample / Asset Tracker v2 application, and build configuration, then I got the ERROR: it looks like . is a build directory: did you mean --build-dir . instead? FATAL ERROR: refusing to proceed without --force due to above error.

But when I use the Hello World sample, build and flash runs successful. And I also build for Blinky sample successful occasionally. I tried to install the nRF Connect SDK again, but it doesn't work.

Best regards, 

Liza
