"Couldn't find Zephyr root" both SEGGER and VsCode

[Mr.Newlove]

Hello all,

Lost my VM that had a working installation and just setting everything back up.

After installing SDK 1.8.0 and all of the extensions for VsCode. Now both SEGGER and VSCode cannoot find the Zephry root and I cannot find it on disk?

This was not a problem in the past, any ideas?

Thanks

Edit: Another problem... like all of the examples are missing?? searched for serial_lte_modem and it comes up with nothing. Even just searching serial, or application comes up with nothing useful?

Edit2: I installed the most recent 3 releases and none have a zephyr folder anymore?!?!?

I had all sorts of issues with the default installation path last time because the path length would get too long for windows command line.

My best guess here would be that the username is a bit too long, maybe?

I will try locally as well just in case, but even if its the network share problem; that's a bug that probably should be corrected?

I’m not quite sure if this actually is a bug. If the GitHub repositories are not accessible on the given platform, whatever reason that may have, there is not too much we can do about it.

Regards,

Markus

I usually just use "user" as my username in VMs to limit these kind of problems.

I have not had a problem using git on network shares before this recent re-installation I had to do.

Either way, I installed on the local drive instead and running into different problems. When I try to create a new project based on a sample it creates an empty folder and then nothing else?
