After v2024.11.22 update, nRF-Connect VS Code plugin lost "Device Provider" setting, causing issues with my "Connected Devices" panel

Hi,

After the latest update, the below setting allowing me to select nrfjprog as my device provider is now gone:

I am using the nRF Playground Docker container example as my build environment, and have attached a VS Code window to the running container, which is where I have now encountered this problem. I have previously been unable to see connected devices when selecting "nrfutil" as my device provider, so now that the option to use nrfjprog is removed, I am wondering how I can move forward with enumerating devices again.

Is the setting for using nrfjprog moved somewhere else, or do I just need to figure out how to get nrfutil to enumerate my devices?

I have it installed in /usr/local/bin/nrfutil, just as nrfjprog is in /usr/local/bin/nrjprog, but it seems to not work with the extension's Connected Devices panel.

Thank you for the help.

Hello,

I see that the option disappeared in the last version. While trying to debug this from home, I lost access to all my boards as well, but I have a flaky USB hub in the office (remote desktop) that needs a reboot from time to time, so that may be the issue. Let me get back to this when I get in the office tomorrow morning.

Best regards,

Edvin
