MacOS+nRF Connect + VSCode - default configuration doesn't work

[VRRV]

Hello everyone, I hope you can guide me in a right direction.

1. I setup my environment as per https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/installation.html, using default settings and default paths suggested. 
2. I created a new Workspace and created an empty application in there.
3. When I try to add a new build configuration, the list of boards is empty

4. That said, the SDK in the workspace has all the boards definitions.


Please advise on how to fix that.
MacOS 15.4, latest VSCode and nRF Connect.

Actually, if that helps anyone... It helped to gut everything out and reinstall all from scratch:

rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.VSCode
rm -rf ~/Library/Saved\Application\ State/com.microsoft.VSCode.savedState
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.VSCode.plist
rm -rf ~/.vscode

rm -rf /Applications/nRF\ Connect.app
rm -rf /Applications/nRF\ Connect\ for\ Desktop.app

brew uninstall --force nrf-command-line-tools nrf5x-command-line-tools nrfjprog 2>/dev/null

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/nrfjprog
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/mergehex
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/west

rm -rf ~/ncs
rm -rf ~/nordicsemi
rm -rf ~/nRF5_SDK
rm -rf ~/nrf
rm -rf ~/zephyr

rm -rf ~/.west
pip3 uninstall -y west

rm -rf ~/gnuarmemb
rm -rf /Applications/ARM

rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/nrfconnect
rm -rf ~/.nrfconnect
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/nrfconnect

pip3 uninstall -y nrfutil pyserial intelhex pc-ble-driver-py nrf-device-lib-py west


Remove any lines that set these variables or paths:

• ZEPHYR_BASE
• GNUARMEMB_TOOLCHAIN_PATH
• ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT
• NCS_HOME
• Any path additions for nRF tools
• Any nRF or Zephyr related environment variables

nano ~/.zshrc
nano ~/.bash_profile
nano ~/.bashrc

source ~/.zshrc # or source ~/.bash_profile

brew uninstall --force cmake ninja gperf dtc qemu ccache dfu-util

pip3 list | grep -E '(nrf|zephyr|west)' | awk '{print $1}' | xargs pip3 uninstall -y

rm -rf ~/.vscode/extensions/nordic-semiconductor.nrf-connect-*

sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/*

And restart your Mac...
