nRF Connect for VS Code plugin shows error icon after pristine build, hover text says "Task has errors", but no error or failure message in the build terminal visible

[puz_md]

Hi,

for a couple of weeks (maybe months), I've been getting the following error indication when performing a pristine build on my projects:

The terminal doesn't show any error or failure messages, though. It appears that the project is just built fine, and further normal compile operations don't show the error indication anymore.

This is a bit confusing as it gives the feeling that something is wrong with my project. Maybe you can have a look and fix it? I think it was fine a couple of months ago.

Best regards,
Michael

nRF Connect for VS Code:

I'm using nRF Connect SDK v2.5.3 and v2.9.0.

I'm working on the nRF5340 with mcuboot and b0n being used for both app core and net core updates. During build, I get some warnings (e.g. telling me that there was a BOARD_ROOT directory without a "boards" subdirectory) but this should not trigger a red error icon.

Best regards,
Michael
