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

I have the same issue exactly, when I try to add a build config, i can only see a blank page for build configs.

but if i click to another project's build config which is already created, i can see the action buttons and build files even though i have the missing compile_commands.json error.

zephyr = v3.7-branch

nrfsdk = v2.8-branch

BTW, when i was installing the nrf extensions, I got this error.

just an update, i rolled back to nRF Connect SDK v2.6.99-cs2-branch, zephyr v3.6-branch and disabled the kconfig extension, and now everything is working as expected. 

Could it be some compatibility issue between zephyr, nrf sdk and exntesions?

Hi,

There is west.yml file in nrf folder which contains corresponding zephyr version for specific NCS version, for example NCS version 2.7.0 specifies sdk-zephyr revision v3.6.99-ncs2. 

zafer sen Could you provide more specific information on which combination you tested to be working, and which are not working?

stefanino Could you provide more information about your setup, your environment and which specific Zephyr versions work with specific versions of extension (and which not) in your case?

Best regards,
Dejan

Hi dejans ,

- v2024.9.87  + nrf SDK  --> working

- v2024.9.87  + Zephyr (no nrf SDK)  --> not working

- v2024.9.31  + nrf SDK  --> working

- v2024.9.31  + Zephyr (no nrf SDK)  --> not working

- v2024.6.20  + Zephyr (no nrf SDK)  --> working

as I pointed out, maybe the error below is a clue?

[dejans]

Hi stefanino ,

Which specific versions of nRF Connect SDK and Zephyr did you use when you made the list of what is working and what not?

Best regards,
Dejan

Not Stefanino here,

Just wanted to share this link for issue I opened, that seems related.

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../nrf-connect-sdk-extension-v2024-9-87-stopped-working-for-building-zephyr-apps-hwmv2

In my case, using Zephyr 3.7.

Thanks
