Problems with NCS on VScode

[jonas.woerner]

I am in the process of migrating from PlatformIO on VScode to NCS on VScode, but im really struggling.
I tried setting everything up on Windows and Fedora.
on WIndows my main Problem is that the compiler errors are not shown in the Problems tab.. I read that others have the same problem, but nobody seems to know how to fix it...
the second Problem is that on Fedora I get Hundreds of these:

/bin/sh: module: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
/bin/sh: error importing function definition for `module'
/bin/sh: ml: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
/bin/sh: error importing function definition for `ml'
/bin/sh: which: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
/bin/sh: error importing function definition for `which'

In combination with the Erros not showing on the Problems tab, this makes it a nightmare to find all the errors...

does anybody have an idea on how to fix these Problems?

kind regards,
Jonas

well, none of these addresses my Problem with the hundrets of error lines I mentioned. and that is the most annoying at the moment.

Could you expand a bit on how you got that issue? Does it necessarily have anything to do with VSC, or are you getting it also by just building a project in a terminal? Is getting hundreds of those "/bin/sh:" lines the only thing you are getting? Are there any errors there as well?
