Sudden Build Errors in Visual Studio Code

GriffinMeyer

Hello,

Up until today I had been developing fine with visual studio code, installed via Toolchain Manager. Then, I clicked "Pristine Build" for the first time in a few days. All of a sudden the build failed and now nothing requiring MCUboot will build properly. 

The error I'm seeing is this, when the build gets to the stage of building McuBoot:

/opt/nordic/ncs/v1.8.0/zephyr/scripts/kconfig/kconfig.py: /opt/nordic/ncs/v1.8.0/bootloader/mcuboot/boot/zephyr/Kconfig:11: '/modules/mcuboot/boot/zephyr/Kconfig' not found (in 'source "$(ZEPHYR_NRF_MODULE_DIR)/modules/mcuboot/boot/zephyr/Kconfig"'). Check that environment variables are set correctly (e.g. $srctree, which is set to '/opt/nordic/ncs/v1.8.0/zephyr'). Also note that unset environment variables expand to the empty string.

 

I've tried: 

Uninstalling and re-installing nRF Connect SDK v1.8.0 from the Toolchain manager

Uninstalling and reinstalling Visual Studio code, and then all of its required plugins via Toolchain Manager.

Building a default project that utilizes Mcuboot, that build also fails in the same way that mine does.

An additional thing of note is that when I click "Open VS Code" from within toolchain manager, it will never actually open VS Code. If code isn't installed or is missing plugins, then it will suggest I install them, but then it will just sit on the "Checking iv VS Code and dependencies are installed" screen indefinitely, never doing anything after that.

I am on an M1 Mac, and I am using all Intel versions of software, as suggested. 

Again, everything was working fine yesterday. I have no idea what could have caused this. I hope you guys will have some ideas!

Thanks

    I recently ran into this issue when trying to add mcuboot to a project. While I can't speak to the cause, here is what I did to workaround for anyone else that runs into this.

    1) Install vscode command line. In VSCODE, CMD-SHIFT-P, shell command install code in path 

    2) Open terminal 

    3) Navigate to the project / app folder. cd "/blah/blah/my_first_app"

    4) Run code as root. "sudo code ." // open this folder in visual studio code, with superuser 

    5) Build project
