nRF Connect for VSCode not showing output files when using sysbuild

Seems to be the case. This was with using the default build mode:

Building at_client
west build --build-dir /home/jaredwolff/Git/nrf9160-feather-examples-and-drivers/external/nrf/samples/cellular/at_client/build /home/jaredwolff/Git/nrf9160-feather-examples-and-drivers/external/nrf/samples/cellular/at_client --pristine --board circuitdojo_feather_nrf9151/nrf9151/ns --sysbuild -- -DNCS_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION=NONE

Thanks Amanda

I think it is because this nRF Connect SDK v2.7.0 Release Notes:
All samples and applications in the SDK are built with sysbuild by default. Applications that are outside the SDK are not built with sysbuild by default.

Correct. Building from scratch with the Default option does not use sysbuild. I assume the default is sysbuild since it has (sysbuild) at the top. (I think it also mentions it in the tool tip but I’m away from my machine right now)

[quote user="jaredwolff"]With the default option checked I get: [/quote]

Do you mean using "build system default"?

Do you mean using "use sysbuild"?

Hi Amanda

I'm on Linux. With the default option checked I get:

 *  Executing task: nRF Connect: Generate config circuitdojo_feather_nrf9151/nrf9151/ns for nfed/samples/test 

Building test
west build --build-dir /home/jaredwolff/Git/nrf9160-feather-examples-and-drivers/nfed/samples/test/build/circuitdojo_feather_nrf9151 /home/jaredwolff/Git/nrf9160-feather-examples-and-drivers/nfed/samples/test --pristine --board circuitdojo_feather_nrf9151/nrf9151/ns -- -DNCS_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION=NONE

Versus explicitly checking sysbuild:

west build --build-dir /home/jaredwolff/Git/nrf9160-feather-examples-and-drivers/nfed/samples/test/build_2 /home/jaredwolff/Git/nrf9160-feather-examples-and-drivers/nfed/samples/test --pristine --board circuitdojo_feather_nrf9151/nrf9151/ns --sysbuild -- -DNCS_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION=NONE

The default is not sysbuild.

Hi Jared,

Priyanka is out of the office, so I picked up this case.

I cannot reproduce the issue on Windows. Do you see the command with "--sysbuild" when using the "use sysbuild" button? Try to delete the build folder and create a new build configration to see it can help or not.

Regards,
Amanda H.

Nice! Answers one question. Any ideas about my first question?

[quote userid="3604" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/116666/nrf-connect-for-vscode-not-showing-output-files-when-using-sysbuild"]1. When creating a build configuration for the nRF9151 Feather, the 'Build system default' says it uses sysbuild but when I actually do a build it uses the old build system.[/quote]

The build still uses the non-sysbuild even though the default button says it uses sysbuild. I'm on NCS 2.7.0

Hi JARED,

You need to expand sysbuild and select the actual image under sysbuild.

Please refer the following documentations:

Hi jared,

Could you tell me your VSCode and nRF Connect Vscode extension version?
