Hey!

uh this helped me! I just figured out that my git was not working correctly and got an error there. VSCode couldnt find my git.. after fixing this issue I am able to create a new project (or open one of the examples).

Cheers

Hi,

We can try checking whether it is an issue with permissions. Try creating the application once again and after you click on Create Application, if you open the developer tools in VS Code (Help > Toggle Developer Tools), an error should happen with the file copy.

There will be some error indicated, like:

{errno: -13, code: "EACCES", syscall: "mkdir", path: "..."}

Kindly try this and share your screenshot with me so that we can analyse the issue.

Regards,

Hi,

Could you try opening the command prompt from the Toolchain Manager in nRF Connect SDK and take it to the nrf location? For eg, my nRF Connect SDK location is at C:\NCS and when I open command prompt, it points at C:\NCS\v1.7.1>

Then, use "cd nrf "and enter the nrf folder. Then you could try entering the "git checkout v1.7.1" (in your case, v1.7.0) followed by "west update". This will download all necessary documents, (if not already installed with the nRF Connect SDK).

After this you could try creating the application once again and let me know how it goes. In case you get any further errors do attach the screenshot of the same.

Kind Regards,

I understand. Have you done the following too and then tried VS Code?

Also, do you have the latest nRF Command Line Tools installed ? nRF Command Line Tools 10.15.0

If not, kindly install the latest version and update me with the progress.

I think there is no problem for me to use SEGGER to open a project. I just want to try VS Code for comparison. It seems to have more plugins, especially kconfig. It seems it looks easier to maintance.

Does this happen only with VS Code or do you have similar problem with SEGGER or west?

Also, do you have the latest nRF Command Line Tools installed ? nRF Command Line Tools 10.15.0

If not, kindly install the latest version and update me with the progress.

I tried. It seems not success. I tried to reinstall both NCS and VCS, still not good

Hi Leo,

Could you try creating the application in the same path as the nRF Connect for Desktop? I have my nRF Connect SDK at the location C:\NCS and I create my applications in the location C:\NCS\VSC

You could find the location of your nRF Connect SDK by following : nRF Connect for Desktop -> Toolchain Manager -> Settings

Hope this helps and let me know how it goes.

Kind Regards,

Priyanka
