VS Code always asks for a Pristine Build with NCS v1.9.1

[stathisv]

I have a project using nRF Connect SDK v1.9.1 and recently started having the issue that when I build it in VS Code with the plugin it always asks me to do a Pristine Build, even though no changes have been made. The problem started in the last 2-3 weeks so I can only attribute it to an upgrade of the VS Code plugin.

In addition it does not happen with other projects that I have using later versions of the SDK, eg. v2.4.2 or v2.6.2, only with v1.9.1

Attached is the diagnotstics file I got from VS Code

Thank you

Hi,

Would you mind trying an older version of the extension to confirm whether the issue is caused by a plugin update or something else?

Steps to downgrade the extension:

Hi Vidar,

If I revert the extension back to v2024.9.87 the issue goes away. It seems to have been introduced in v2024.11.22.

Thank you,

Hi Stathis,

Thank you for confirming this. I will report this to our VS code extension team.

Best regards,

The feedback I received was that this was fixed in v2024.11.75. Is this the version you had installed when you experienced the problem?

[stathisv]

Yes, that was the version I had before I rolled back today to test. I tried again now and I still get the issue with v2024.11.75

Thank you for confirming again. It seems the fix did not fully resolve the issue. I will inform the team that you are still seeing this problem with the latest version.
