nRF Connect for VS Code extension requiring version 1.8.0-rc2 of the nRF Connect SDK

[frantas]

When I switch to any branch other than 1.8.0-rc2, I get the following notification:

"This workspace requires version 1.8.0-rc2 of the nRF Connect SDK, but it isn't installed. Please install it if you'd like to use the workspace. Source: nRF Connect for VS Code (Extension)"

I'm using Linux, manually installed NCS. Worked before the 1.8.0 release. Now, not even origin/main works!

These are the commands used to switch branches:

cd $ZEPHYR_BASE/../nrf &&
git fetch origin &&
git checkout <branch> &&
west update

west works in any branch.

Any comments?

Hi,

You must set the correct version of nRF Connect SDK and nRF Connect Toolchain in the workspace settings. You can do this from the welcome page under Quick Setup, or in the settings.

Best regards,
