Visual Studio 1.8.0 can't resolve variable

Soupdragon

Can anyone help me with this:

I'm trying out the 'threads' sample under Visual Studio 1.8.0. Not having much luck. I'm a newbie and have followed the Video tutorials to the letter and tried everything, including a complete new install of 1.8.0, but whenever I try to do anything in the ACTIONS list (build, pristine build, flash etc) I get this error.

If I try running commands from 'west', eg west build, west flash, they all work fine.

    Hi John!

    Are you using Windows? And are you able to open any of the other examples avaiable? Eg. Blinky or hello world?

    Best regards,

    Hi Elfving,

    many thanks for your prompt response.

    I am using WIndows 10

    Yes I've been playing around all morning. I've got lpuart, threads, blinky and a few other samples.

    I get a variety of problems, that all seem to go away if I exit Visual Studio and then restart it.So I can get hello_world, blinky etc working, but not straight away. There are build problems, and often the 'Flash' and 'Erase Flash' ACTIONS are not available. But all this goes away and everything works if I restart after build.

    I think my installation might be a bit flaky. Is there a way of removing  1.8.0 and reinstalling a pristine version ?
    I've notice that if I use toolchain manager to remove VS Code, it doesn't actually remove all the files/directories. So I suspect re-install isn't pristine.
