Problem with adding files to NCS projects

[taoyinzhou]

I am developing with NCS, but I found only one project "v1.4.99-dev1\nrf\samples\bluetooth\peripheral_lbs" I can add files directly through the option "Add new file to cmakelist.txt". This is shown in the image below.

Other projects do not have such an option。

What can I do to add files to the project like above？

Hi,

I see the same on my setup, but I'm not sure what cause the options to appear. I will have to check internally if anyone knows this, or possibly check with Segger about the requirements for these options to appear.

In the meantime, you can check what the features does for the projects where you have the buttons available, and then do the necessary changes to the CMakeLists.txt fil manually.

Best regards,
Jørgen

Hi,

You need to add comments/tags to the CMakeLists.txt file, as described in this section of the documentation, for these options to show.

[EDIT]: We have prepared a pull request to fix the CMakeLists.txt files in nRF Connect SDK repository that missed these tags. Note that this only affects samples in nrf directory, Zephyr samples are not Nordic-specific and will not contain these tags.

Best regards,
Jørgen
