Setting Zephyr directory in VS Code

[GabrielDS]

I've setup my development environment using the 'application' structure.  https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/zephyr/develop/application/index.html#zephyr_workspace_application

I have all of the zephyr and nrf directories under the external directory.

I cannot get VSCode to use the 'external' directory.  It always uses c:\ncs\v2.6.1.  

My .west/config looks like this:

[manifest]
path = customername_folder
file = west.yml

[zephyr]
base = external/zephyr

and I've tried this:

[manifest]
path = ..\..\_DSGit\customername\Code\external\nrf
file = west.yml

[zephyr]
base = external/zephyr

Can you give me some idea what I'm missing?

During a west update, I can get something like this: 

[17:44:05] ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'c:\_DSGit\customername\Code\external\.west\config' (c:\_DSGit\customername\Code\external)

I updated to the latest plugin, which seems to provide extra flexibility on this, but no luck.

Hi, 

Thanks for reaching us for your inqury.

Since you are using both zephyr and nrf, you should refer to this document from NCS: https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/app_dev/create_application.html#workspace_application.

https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/dev_model_and_contributions/adding_code.html#workflow_4_workspace_application_repository_recommended porivde more detials and there are examples you can refer to.
