nrfconnect vscode extension problems with "Add Build Configuration" wizard and "Actions" view

[stefanino]

Hi,

running the latest nrfconnect vscode extension (v2024.9.31) the "Add configuration wizard" comes up and stay blank. Additionally, the Actions view is also empty, while its progress indicator keeps running.

 

Rolling back to v2024.7.13 the build configuration is OK, yet the Actions view is still empty and loading indefinitely.

Rolling back even more the build wizard seems good, while Actions always blank and loading (so maybe these are separate issues)

I'm running an Ubuntu devcontainer in vscode 1.93.0 on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS host.

Let me know of any other detail that can help in troubleshooting

Hi,

We have since released nRF connect for VS Code version 2024.9.87.
Are you experiencing the same issues there?

Hi Terje,

thanks for getting back. I did give it a try, Unfortunately still not working. I didn't realize it before, but the runtime status reports errors with the newest release... maybe this is a little helpful:

Hi,

Terje is currently out of the office.

Do you see the same problems when running VS Code on your host machine without Dev Container? If yes, which versions of VS Code are affected and in what way?

Best regards,
Dejan

Hi,

yes same problem on the host without devcontainer. I was on VS Code 1.93.1 before, now on 1.94, and nothing changed.

However, as you can see from the screenshots in my opening post I'm not running a full blown nrf SDK, but just a west workspace with zephyr main branch (3.7.99).

When I test with nrf connect SDK 2.7.0 the build wizard shows up correctly (see below) 

It looks like the "Nordic SoC", "Nordic Kits" board target filtering is tripping the whole process of listing just the Zephyr boards ("Compatible boards" and "All boards" in previous versions of the extension)

the extension also reports an error that might be related:

can you guys bring the old board filtering back? :-)
