Hint: "self: import: submanifests": file not found

[ryan_mulder_antrum]

Whenever I open my workspace or build in VS Code, the Output tab of the bottom pane opens to nRF Connect output where it repeats this many times:

[west]: FATAL ERROR: can't load west manifest: Malformed manifest data
[west]: Schema file: /home/rmulder/ncs/toolchains/b2ecd2435d/usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/west/manifest-schema.yml
[west]: Hint: "self: import: submanifests": file not found

[west]: exited with code 1.

How can I debug this? Which manifest file is it referring to?

can you try to uninstall and reinstall the toolchain using VS Code?

I have a new computer, so I don't have all the toolchains installed, but I guess you know what toolchain you are trying to use, and you can try to re-install that one in particular.

Best regards,

I tried that, but no change.

Here's my toolchain info from the Output pane:

=========== Toolchain validation report for nRF Connect SDK Toolchain v3.1.1 ===========
📦 Using the nRF Connect SDK v3.1.1 at /home/rmulder/devel/<project root folder name was here>
No issues were detected with the toolchain.

What toolchain and SDK version are you trying to use? Because the SHA b2ecd2435d doesn't belong to v3.1.1. 

What NCS version are you using in your application?

Best regards,

I'm trying to use toolchain 3.1.1 and SDK v3.1-branch

$ nrfutil toolchain-manager list
  Version  Toolchain
* v3.1.1   /home/rmulder/ncs/toolchains/b2ecd2435d

$ ls /home/rmulder/ncs/toolchains
b2ecd2435d  toolchains.json

$ cat /home/rmulder/ncs/toolchains/toolchains.json 
[
  {
    "default_toolchain": {
      "ncs_version": "v3.1.1"
    },
    "schema": 1,
    "toolchains": [
      {
        "identifier": {
          "bundle_id": "b2ecd2435d"
        },
        "ncs_versions": [
          "v3.1.1"
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
]

$ cat west.yml 
manifest:
  projects:
    - name: nrf
      url: https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf.git
      revision: v3.1-branch
      import: true
      clone-depth: 1
...

Ok, perhaps they are different for linux and windows.

Can you check whether it is listed if you select Uninstall toolchain using the menu above?

BR,

Sorry for the delayed response.

When I select Manage toolchains -> Uninstall toolchain, it prompts me to remove it with a dialog. Perhaps because I only have one toolchain installed?
