nRF Connect For VS Code v2024.11.22 "nrf-connect.debugging.flash": false

[byte]

After I updated to v2024.11.22 of the nRF Connect For VS Code I can no longer get the option: "nrf-connect.debugging.flash": false to work. It keeps flashing the device before every debug session even when this is set to false. I reverted back to v2024.9.87 and the setting works again.

Hi,

Thank you for the report.

I have reproduced what you describe.

With nRF Connect for VS Code v2024.9.87, when starting a debug session, the "Nrf-connect > Debugging: Flash" option controls whether or not the device is reflashed upon starting the debug session.

With nRF Connect for VS Code v2024.11.22, when starting a debug session, the device is flashed regardless of the setting.

I have reported the issue internally, for it to be fixed.

Hi,

For the time being, there is a workaround in using the dropdown menu of the Debug choice in the Action pane.

Selecting "Debug without Flashing" will start the debug session without programming the device first.

We are looking into the issue with the settings option not functioning as expected, but for now the above would be the preferred workaround as it lets you stay updated with the latest versions of the extensions.

Regards,
Terje

I still have this issue, has it been resolved already?
