Build process broken

[BDA]

I had a project set up and working with my nrf52840 dev kit.  It was using the 1.7.0 SDK and was based on the zephyr hello world sample.  Today when I open VS Code, the project no longer builds; it complains that it can't find Ninja.

So I deleted the project, uninstalled 1.7.0, installed 1.7.1, and created a new project based off of the zephyr hello world sample.  When I try to add a build configuration for nrf52840dk_nrf52840, it throws this error:

Building Hello
west build --build-dir c:\nRF\vsCode\Test\Hello\build c:\nRF\vsCode\Test\Hello --pristine --board nrf52840dk_nrf52840 --cmake-only -- -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS:BOOL=On -DNCS_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION:STRING="NONE"

usage: west [-h] [-z ZEPHYR_BASE] [-v] [-V] <command> ...
west: error: argument <command>: invalid choice: 'build' (choose from 'init', 'update', 'list', 'manifest', 'diff', 'status', 'forall', 'help', 'config', 'topdir', 'selfupdate')
The terminal process terminated with exit code: 2.

Hi,

Is the nRF Connect Toolchain configured correctly in VS Code? You can set this in Settings -> Extensions -> nRF Connect -> Toolchain: Path, or from the Quick Setup on the welcome page for the extension.

How did you install the nRF Connect SDK?

Best regards,

Marte

I used the Nordic Toolchain Manager

I had to reinstall the SDK, Toolchain, and VS Code Extensions.  Then when making a new project, I had to pick a Workspace project rather than Freestanding.  My original project still won't build; I think it's an issue with the environment.

Hi,

Could you provide support information? You can get this by opening the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or go to View->Command Palette) and writing 'nRF Connect: Generate Support Information'. Please upload the support information here by either copying it and pasting it using Insert -> Code, or upload it as a file with Insert -> Image/video/file.

Best regards,

Marte
