Ninja: not work to do

[Carlos Galiana]

Hi!

I did a mesh trying to use diferent versions of a project renaming them, deleting the files inside the folder where I have my projects, putting inside other projects...etc. Now Visual is not working as always. One of the problems is the next one:

When I try to flash the application for a nrf52840 DK I get that message:

"Ninja: no work to do"

A few days ago I was flashing my board without any problem. Do you know what could be happening? Do I have to erase a "cache" where my old projects used to be?. For example, when I open Visual Studio there is the next warning message:

I erased Reloj_V3 project in the folder it was, but the message is still there. I dont uderstand why Visual Studio is looking for that project.

I am sorry for this message but I dont know what to do.

Hello!

I've been seeing the same behavior from Visual Studio today.

Your first problem is caused by the latest VS Code release (V1.65) not cooperating with the nRF Connect SDK.

Our internal team is working on fixing this, but until then the issue can be solved by downgrading to a previous VS Code version.

I'm not sure what is causing your other problem, but I've also seen that behavior myself. I'll let you know if I find a solution.

Best regards,

Einar

I have the same problem

I think it is solved with the new version of the sdk extension.

Hello again!

I found out why Visual Studio keeps looking for old projects after you've deleted them.

If you go to File > Preferences > Settings > Workspace > nRF Connect

You will find a list of paths that Visual Studio will look for. Your old project might still be listed here after you've deleted it.

Removing it from this list solved the issue for me.
