NRF connect extention reports an error about an unrelated west manifest in Visual Studio Code Output terminal

Anthony Ambuehl

I keeping getting errors in Output terminal from nRF Connect.  

I work on multiple projects in multiple different workspaces.   I keep getting errors about the manifest file for a workspace that I'm not actively using.  The errors trigger the terminal view focus to switch to the output tab, which is extremely annoying.

There errors all look like this:


[west]: FATAL ERROR: can't load west manifest: file not found: manifest file d:\XXX\manifest\west.yml (from configuration options manifest.path="manifest", manifest.file="west.yml")

[west]: exited with code 1.
I'm not currently working from a folder or workspace file related to XXX.
How can I make these errors stop?  This issue persist even after I restart visual studio code.  The XXX text does not appear in settings.

    I renamed the XXX directory and the west config file within XXX and have not seen the errors in a while.  Is there some place where the nrf connect extension is keeping track of workspaces outside of the active folder/workspace?  

    Find the  support info below, I had to scrub my clients names out of the file. 

    Looking into the support info, I can see there is a list of paths with the corresponding toolchain/SDK version info.  The XXX directory is no longer present, but I suppose it may have been deleted when I renamed the folder.

    Is there any valid reason for the nrf connect extension to be accessing unrelated folders when working wihtin a different folder?  

    Is there a mechanism to clean out old projects from the list of sdks?

    The XXX directory is no longer present, but I suppose it may have been deleted when I renamed the folder.

    Is this folder still present on your computer after renaming? Does it show in the list  here at all? What content was in that folder?

    Anthony Ambuehl said:
    Is there any valid reason for the nrf connect extension to be accessing unrelated folders when working wihtin a different folder?

    Our developers inform me: nRF Connect for VSCode will look at all the registered SDK in the cmake registry and will detect what version and type they are so we can preset all SDK in the SDK selection example when building
