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 zsn ,

I tried the workaround (again on Zephyr 3.7 and latest vscode extension). Pristine build from the terminal works like a charm.

However, the action buttons are still not working in my case (view is empty with, at best, a progress bar never ending).

How did you exactly change the board path?

cheers

Hi stefanino ,

1. Make sure you disable Kconfig extension. (Maybe devicetree too, it was disabled too when I was testing it. But now I have the devicetree extension enabled ).

good question .  Im just scratching my head to remember what I did. But not really. Only one thing I can say is that im sure I had a only change on my custom board in my custom module.

So, maybe you can try to remove your custom board if you have. And observe if the extension is working or not.

I have nrf-connect 2024.11.75-win32-x64

nrf-connect-extension-pack-2024.9.5

Zephyr V3.7.99

Zephyr SDK 0.16.8

and I am facing same issues. Add Build Configuration is greyed out and I can't seem to activate it. My code builds correctly in CLI with: 

west build -p always -b nrf52840dk/nrf52840 samples\fund_less3_exer1

However, I can't run this from the terminal mode of VS code extension as west command is not recognized.
