usage: west: error: argument : invalid choice: 'build'

Dtyn

Hi,

I'm a real novice with this but I'm having this issue and I can't see how to resolve it.

Building HeartRate_sensor
west build --build-dir c:\Users\deirdre.hackett\Nordic\VS_projects\HeartRate_sensor\build c:\Users\anon\Nordic\VS_projects\HeartRate_sensor --pristine --board nrf52840dk_nrf52840 -- -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS:BOOL=On -DNCS_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION:STRING="NONE" -DBOARD_ROOT:STRING="c:/Users/anon/Nordic/VS_projects/HeartRate_sensor"

usage: west [-h] [-z ZEPHYR_BASE] [-v] [-V] <command> ...
west: error: argument <command>: invalid choice: 'build' (choose from 'init', 'update', 'list', 'manifest', 'diff', 'status', 'forall', 'help', 'config', 'topdir', 'selfupdate')
The terminal process failed to launch (exit code: 2).

[12:31:43] west build --build-dir c:\Users\anon\Nordic\VS_projects\HeartRate_sensor\build c:\Users\anon\Nordic\VS_projects\HeartRate_sensor
[12:32:15] Success.
[12:32:44] west build --build-dir c:\Users\anon\Nordic\VS_projects\HeartRate_sensor\build c:\Users\anon\Nordic\VS_projects\HeartRate_sensor
[12:32:45] Success.
[12:32:46] west flash -d c:\Users\anon\Nordic\VS_projects\HeartRate_sensor\build --skip-rebuild -r nrfjprog --snr 683130583
[12:33:03] Success.

    I resolved this by uninstalling the SDK and reinstalling in another folder.

    I'm happy to hear you solved the initial issue.

    Should I continue in this question or start a new one?

    As it is not related to original topic of the ticket, you should register a new ticket. That said, the "select a kit for..." message is not related to the nRF Connect for VS Code extension but another extension in VS Code I believe. It is unfortunately misleading, and it can be ignored.

    In you case, you should check what devices are connected under "Connected devices" in the nRF Connect extension

    I will forward your feedback to our VS code extension team, as this is valuable information in regards to user experience.

    What debug button are you clicking? Make sure to use the one in our extension:
