nRF Connect SDK stucked on "Pristine Build"

[simoiamma]

Good morning,

After updating the VSCode extension "nRF Connect SDK" to version v2024.12.55, I encountered an issue where the "Build" and "Action" menus do not update after compilation. The extension repeatedly prompts me to perform a "Pristine Build," even though the code compiles successfully. However, I cannot use any of the additional functionalities. To recompile, I must create a new build configuration and start from scratch each time.

When I click the "Pristine Build" button, an error notification appears: "Unable to find SDK."

This issue persists even after downgrading to the previous version, v2024.11.75. In this version, clicking "Pristine Build" triggers a new build, but the compilation process reports that the file compile_commands.json is missing. I've checked and this file is present in the build directory, but maybe the extension search for it in the wrong location. Additionally, after compilation, the situation resets, and I must start over by creating a new configuration, as in the last version.

Even reverting further to v2024.9.31 does not resolve the issue, as the "Action" tab does not display any buttons. Versions older than this fail to function entirely.

I have tested various SDK versions (2.9, 2.6.2, 2.4.2), and the behavior remains the same. The installation of the SDK and toolchain proceeds without any issues, so I suspect the extension may be unable to read the build files due to incorrect path handling.

In the following, the generated support information for the v2024.12.55:

Hello Simone, 

We have seen similar issues with this before and the first thing I would like to test is that you physically delete the build folder from you application. 

Using several SDK and Toolchains should not be an issue, but how did you install these on your computer? I see that you have vanilla Zephyr installed as well, i.e. c:\\Users\\myUser\\zephyrproject and c:\\Users\\myUser\\zephyr-sdk-0.15.0. 

  "sdks": [
    {
      "version": "v2.9.0",
      "path": "c:\\ncs\\v2.9.0"
    },
    {
      "version": "v2.6.2",
      "path": "c:\\ncs\\v2.6.2"
    },
    {
      "version": "v2.4.2",
      "path": "c:\\ncs\\v2.4.2"
    },
    {
      "version": "v3.1.99",
      "path": "c:\\Users\\myUser\\zephyrproject"
    }
  ],
  
   "toolchains": [
    {
      "version": "2.9.0",
      "path": "c:\\ncs\\toolchains\\b620d30767"
    },
    {
      "version": "2.8.0",
      "path": "c:\\ncs\\toolchains\\2d382dcd92"
    },
    {
      "version": "2.6.2",
      "path": "c:\\ncs\\toolchains\\cf2149caf2"
    },
    {
      "version": "2.6.0",
      "path": "c:\\ncs\\toolchains\\cf2149caf2"
    },
    {
      "version": "2.4.2",
      "path": "c:\\ncs\\toolchains\\31f4403e35"
    },
    {
      "version": "0.15.0",
      "path": "c:\\Users\\myUser\\zephyr-sdk-0.15.0"
    }
  ],

Not saying that these are the problem, but could you please try to remove these based on this:  "ZEPHYR_BASE": "c:\\ncs\\v2.4.2\\C:\\Users\\myUser\\zephyrproject\\zephyr",

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Hi Øyvind,

All SDK versions were installed using the "Manage SDK" option in the VSCode extension. However, I had previously installed the vanilla version manually via the command line a long time ago.

If I open a new terminal (by clicking "Start New Terminal" next to the build configuration), modify the ZEPHYR_BASE environment variable to C:\ncs\v2.4.2 (removing the path to the vanilla version), and run the west command for the build (after deleting the build directory for a clean build), I encounter the same result. The build logs show that the paths are correctly resolved, so the issue might be specific to the path handling within the "nRF Connect SDK" extension.

I have deleted the vanilla Zephyr installation from my system, uninstalled and reinstalled the extension, but the ZEPHYR_BASE variable still contains a concatenated path. Where does the "nRF Connect SDK" extension set this variable?

Thanks

Hi Simone, thanks for the patience with this matter. 

What happens if you delete the build folder under C:/Users/prologic/Progetti/contapassi/sw/app/build/ and then try to build the project in VS Code again? Could you please provide the full build log?

Or 

what happens if you right click on the build configuration and build through "edit build configuration"

Kind regards,
Øyvind

If I delete the build folder and build the project from scratch I encounter the same problem ("build" and "action" tab only shows the button "Pristine Build").

In the following, the build log.

If I edit the build configuration, the build process restart from scratch as before. The problem persist also if the "build after generating configuration" is not checked when editing build configuration.

Kind regards,
