Cannot Create Project create_nordic_project.ph failed (1)

[ae6ty]

I am just getting started.  When I use the SEGGER / file / open nRF Connect SDK Project and try to configure for a SDK release 1.5.1 (/opt/nordic/ncs/v1.5.1), toolchain version 1.5.1 zephyr/blinky, nrf52840dk_nrf52840 I get the build directory /opt/nordic/ncs/v1.5.1/zephyr/samples/basic/blinky/build_nrf52840dk_nrf52840 ... I get the error 'create_nordic_project.ph failed (1).  I am running macos 11.2.3 on an M1.  I installed everything using the nrf connect 3.6.1.  I can successfully compile and run the Solutions 'nRF Samples' Project Hello_world both in the simulator and connected to the nRF52840dk board through the USB J-Link connection.  Any ideas what I may try next?

Hi!

As you are just getting started I assume you haven't changed anything in the project folder either?

Could you try checking the "Clean Build Directory" checkbox?

Best regards,

Håkon

I did try that.  I also tried cleaning the solution before trying to open the nRF Connect SDK project.  I there a step by step I should follow?  I found enough to get me to install and download the toolchain and example projects but it fell apart at the 'open nRF Connect SDK Project'.  Do I need to be an administrator?  Are there file protections which may need cleaning up?

Thanks for your help!

It is embarrassing to admit, I can't figure out how to put an image in this reply.  Here is a copy the output text:

It seems that git is an issue. Could you try running "git --version" in a commandline, and giving me the output?

And did you use the Toolchain Manager?

Btw, on Windows and Chrome I can either simply paste an image into this reply, or insert an image using the "insert" drop-down menu. Does that not work for you?

Best regards,

Håkon

[ae6ty]

YES.  I am using the Toalchain Manager.

git version 2.24.3 (Apple Git-128)

[Elfving]

Great!

Hmm it seems the issue might be related to this one. What python3 version are you using?

Best regards,

Håkon

[ae6ty]

I upgraded to phython3 as my default and things now seem to be OK.  Give me a few days to verify....

[Elfving]

Nice! Let me know when you are certain.

Best regards,

Håkon
