FATAL ERROR: required program nrfutil not found; install it or add its location to PATH

[666]

HI ALL,

v2.8.0, nrf54l15, using the "periphral_uart" demo without any modifications

I downloaded nrf52840 using v2.8.0 and it runs normally, but nrf54l15 has issues.

The steps are as follows:

1.build

2.flash

 

3.Then

Thanks

Ubuntu

nano ~/.bashrc

and add a line to the eof with full path to nrfutil location

export PATH=$PATH:/home/nrfutil_location

then apply changes

exec bash

Adding nrfutill to PATH doesn't work for me because... nrfutil is already in PATH.

`west` command fails to find nrfutil when executed from VSCode GUI (ACTIONS->Flash, but works just fine when executed manually from Toolchain shell (Manage Toolchains->Open Terminal Profile).

So I classify it as a bug in vscode plugin - it likely runs `west` command (the one that flashes) in wrong shell env or sth.

I modified `west` script to dump environmrnt and it seems NRF Connect VSCode plugin actively removes any PATH overrides from user's .bashrc and instead tries to construct PATH manually from system + toolchain + SDK.

So if nrfutil is NOT installed system-wide, but for instance in ~/.nrfutil/bin, it will never be located by VSCode.

Where do I report this bug?
