nRF Connect SDK stucked on "Pristine Build"

RE: nRF Connect SDK stucked on "Pristine Build"

UPDATE: the problem was caused by an old version of west installed system-wide (outside the Nordic SDK, in my case it was under "c:\program data\west") whose .config file contained information about an old path where zephyr was installed.

The script that VSCode launches to retrieve the SDK path from the nrf connect sdk extensions "appends" the ZEPHYR_BASE variable found system wide, causing the problem.

I solved it by deleting this west installation.

Thanks for providing this information. I have forwarded to our developers. Unfortunately, no timeline at the moment as they are not able to reproduce at this point.

nRF extension version is 2025.1.127
VS code version is 1.96.4

The value is:

What version of the VS Code extension are you running?

I encountered the same issue, where I can successfully build the code but cannot find the buttons/operations to flash my code.

The errors is same.

Can anyone have a solution to this issue?

Environment details:

board: nrf52

SDK: 2.6.2

toolchain: 2.6.1

Thanks for trying Simone. I will need to discuss this internally with our team, as I really don't see the root cause. Could you please provide the value in the CMakeCache in the folder c:/Users/prologic/Progetti/contapassi/sw/app/build for CMAKE_C_COMPILER ?

Kind regards,
Øyvind

I tried it, I have the same problem. In my opinion, the problem is related to the path or the files that the VSCode extension expects to find inside it to verify that there is a valid SDK (and so the error "Unable to build. SDK not found"). Do you know where the extension look for those informations? The only place where I found something is the "sdkPath": "c:\\ncs\\v2.4.2" inside the "build/.vscode-nrf-connect.json" file.

Kind regards,
Simone

Simone, could you please try moving you project to e.g. C:\temp and build from here? I'm wondering if this could be an issue of a too long path.

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.

RE: nRF Connect SDK stucked on "Pristine Build"

Øyvind — Wed, 22 Jan 2025 14:09:14 GMT

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

RE: nRF Connect SDK stucked on "Pristine Build"

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

Simone

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.

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,
