unable to add SES project to VSC nRF Connect

[Allen]

Hello,

I have an SES project that I would like to migrate to the nRF Connect plugin, in Visual Studio Code. When I try to "Add an existing application" and select the directory containing the emProject file, I get an error stating that "the directory does not contain application source".

I have watched the YouTube video and it looks like this should work. Am I missing a step to prepare for the import?

Thanks

Hi,

Which YouTube video are you referring to?

You should select the root directory of the application/sample (where the CMakeLists.txt file is located), not the directory where the emProject file is located. The SES project uses the CMake build system to generate the project from nRF Connect SDK sample, and the same sample can be opened and built in VS Code. Opening a SES project in VS Code is as far as I know not possible.

Best regards,
Jørgen
