Nrf connect desktop for VS code extension is not loading

[User_PP]

Hi,

The nrf connect for desktop extension in VS code is not loading anything under welcome, when I try to open the documentation or any other nrf related command it says command not found and the following error: 

Error running command nrf-connect.openOnlineDocumentation: command 'nrf-connect.openOnlineDocumentation' not found. This is likely caused by the extension that contributes nrf-connect.openOnlineDocumentation.

. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling extensions and VS code itself this did not fix it. I followed a few tickets on nordic: nordic devzone but nothing seems to work.

system: Chip: Apple M2 Pro, macOS: Sequoia 15.0.1.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

Could you check that you have the entire "nRF Connect for VS Code extension pack" installed? There are multiple available which might be confusing.

And could you check what version of it you use, or make sure that you've updated to the latest version?

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply I was on vacation. I have installed the latest version of it. I tried uninstalling and re-installing VS code as well. that did not fix anything

That is odd. I have seen issues related to VSC not being completely uninstalled before, as there are some additional settings in the user folder that remains. Though let's not start off with that route yet.

Do you have any other issues with VSC? Do other extensions work? Could you check what version of VSC has been installed by going to the extension in the "extensions" tab in VSC? Do you have nrfutil and command line tools installed? (I don't think it's necessary to get the extension up and running, but it is worth a shot)

Hi Elfving,

I have the version 1.97.0 of visual studio code installed. Other extensions like prettier, live server are working fine, its only with the nrf I am facing issues. I installed command line tools.

P.S: all the extensions are are latest version

Hehe great, that is what I was trying to ask.

Could you try pressing Help > Toggle Developer Tools, and see if there are any errors popping up?
