nRF Connect SDK extension for VS Code no longer working

[Mike Austin (LPI)]

My nRF Connect SDK extension in VS Code did an auto update this morning, and now my whole IDE is non-functional.

This is the error I get when I go to the Quick Setup

It seems unable to find any of the toolchain stuff.

I've literally uinstalled and reinstalled everything associated with nRF (Command Line Tools, Toolchain Manager, the SDK, Visual Studio Code) numerous times, as well as deleting the:

.vscode

.nrfutil

.nrfconnect-apps

directories, but its still coming up with this error.

It also seems to be "remembering" some of my old directories and workspaces, which for the life of me I can't understand because I thought I'd hosed all of that old info out with all of the above.

I'm basically unable to do any development, because my IDE is unable to do a build.

Has anyone seen this issue before and able to provide me with a fix?

Cheers,

Mike

mansen motors - I did manage to get mine working again by winding back to the previous version of the nRF Connect extension (v2022.7.111).

If you go to View->Extensions->nRF Connect for VS Code, then click on the down arrow next to "Uninstall" if will give you the option to "Install another verision..."

Try the version I'm using.  Its been working OK up until the auto-update that occured today.

I literally spent ALL day trying to get this sorted, and even wiped my PC User Profile to try and get a clean install.  Frustrating!

Cheers,

Mike

Thanks so much for this! My current installation is actually still working for whatever reason, but just today I wanted to install on another PC and ran into this issue.
