Thread viewer empty during debug

RE: Thread viewer empty during debug

What I found is a workaround.
I spent a few hours to somehow move all my apps into the new account (except one, which requires new license if I need to use again).
At the end, I don't regret moving into a new account with folder name without space because many poorly tested software can be encountered and they just malfunction partially. Safe to be outside of any options with space in the user home folder name.

Seem you find the solution to fix it.

My SDK and my working folder are outside of this home folder with space and none of them have space character in the path.

After I created the new account, the SDK and the working directory remained exactly the same.

My findings indicates the contrary.

The VSCode plugins as they are installed in C:\Users\My Username\AppData\.... and who know what else (cache etc) have to be accessed. Once I created the new user, everything from %AppData%, such as the nRF Connect SDK for VSCode plugin, it was installed in the new home folder, without space and it worked.

Hi,

I'm trying to follow what happens where, but one thing we can tell is that the user name having space in it (the home folder) does not prevent working on that machine as long as neither the SDK nor the application and build folders are not under the offending home directory.

Since I couldn't solve the problem of nRF Debug to show threads in my usual user account in the PC at my workspace, I decided to create a new local user account in the same PC and specially I take care to not have space character in user folder name.
I reinstalled nRF Connect for Desktop, the nRF connect command line tools, VSCode. VSCode I enabled cloud sync to pull down my previously installed profiles and extensions. nRF Connect for VSCode extensions are installed in a profile, just to not mix with other extensions.
In this newly created account now nRF Debug and Thread Viewer works correctly. and in the extension host logs I don't have this "[error] CodeExpectedError: stackTrace: property 'threadId' is invalid." log. I still have "[error] TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'dispose')" . For the details of the stacktrace, you can search above.

The chances are high that nRF Debug extension, specifically the thread viewer is sensible to spaces in the user folder name. I cannot fully guarantee that this was the exact cause of the problem, since this new user at least is more cleaner. since it was just created.

For positive test, i let someone freshly create a new windows 11 user account with space character in the folder name and do the setup there. If the thread viewer will be empty, than we know the exact cause. If not the space character in the user folder is the real cause, then when somebody else has this issue, at least there is a workaround... just create a new local user account. Of course I cannot fully support this type of advice, since it is a hassle to setup everything again in the new user account.

Now I tried to install JLink 7.94j beside 7.94e as it is my pc at home where threads view is working.

Unfortunately in this PC in my office doesn't work.

I checked the developer logs in extension host and I see this

[error] CodeExpectedError: stackTrace: property 'threadId' is invalid.
    at ZKe.Q (vscode-file://vscode-app/c:/Users/My%20Username/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft%20VS%20Code/resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.desktop.main.js:2154:15459)

I have no idea how it could relate this error to the thread viewer.. maybe not related.

If you know some flags to enable more debug logs, just tell me.

At home I continued to experiment.

I did a comparison of support information and based on that I started to downgrade or destroy the setup at home.

I noticed that at home pc where works, I had in the "tools" the JLink.exe 7.94j. I remember that when I install nRF Connect for VSCode from scratch, it installs JLink.exe 7.94e . Therefore in the workplace's PC I do have only 7.94e installed.

Somehow looks like at home PC I had 7.94e and also 7.94j. Therefore I uninstalled 7.94j and after this I could not debug at all, still was able to flash. (of course always regenerated the build configurations when I did a change). This is somewhat worst than at work.

After I re-installed (back) the 7.94j at home, again nRF Debug it started to work correctly.

I also tried to change the deviceProvider and works with both nrfjprog por nrfutil.

Other difference would be that at home where it works my Home Folder name doesn't have space character. I would be so sad that the username in my workplace computer completely renders useless this plugin.

Remain that tomorrow I will install also JLink 7.94j just I have at home. And if still doesn't work, remain this folder name with space.

Of course.

Did you create a build configuration and Select Optimize for debugging in the Optimization menu and build configuration?

RE: Thread viewer empty during debug

Hi,

Could you test with inter_less2_exer1_solution? If it still has the issue, please provide the support information.

Regards,
Amanda H.

RE: Thread viewer empty during debug

Fefu — Tue, 08 Oct 2024 09:13:41 GMT

I repeated one more time the entire cleanup. At this time I removed all the python installs. The results are the same. Thread Viewer is always empty.

The first line of code when the debugger starts is here.

In my other machine it stops at main().

I can still add breakpoints and stops correctly, but the Thread Viewer is empty

As you see, in the C:\ncs\v2.6.1\nrf\west.yml I added "devacademy-ncsinter" external repo and than created a new project by copying Lesson 1 with solution (inter_less1_exer1_solution_1)

prj.conf has these lines

CONFIG_GPIO=y

CONFIG_LOG=y

# STEP 1 - Enable debugging

CONFIG_DEBUG_THREAD_INFO=y

CONFIG_DEBUG_OPTIMIZATIONS=y

.vscode\settings.json has only these

{

"nrf-connect.applications": [

"${workspaceFolder}\\inter_less1_exer1_solution_1"

]

}
