nRF Connect for VSCode build preset values ignore

[brian.g]

it seems like the build preset values in CMakePreset.json are being ignored when creating a new build configuration.

I have the following CMakePresets.json file located in my application directory

{
  "version": 2,
  "cmakeMinimumRequired": {
    "major": 3,
    "minor": 20
  },
  "configurePresets": [
    {
      "name": "build_5340dk",
      "displayName": "Build for NRF5340 DK NRF5340 application MCU Non Secure",
      "generator": "Ninja",
      "binaryDir": "${sourceDir}/build_5340dk",
      "cacheVariables": {
        "NCS_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION": "NONE",
        "BOARD": "nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp_ns",
        "CONF_FILE": "$env{ZEPHYR_BASE}/../app/my_app/prj.conf"
      }
    }
  ]
}

When attempting to use the preset to build a configuration the build directory and configuration file values are ignored as seen below:

 

Is there anyway to get those values to auto-populate in the gui? Thanks.

Hi Brian, thanks for reporting this. I think I've seen some similar issue on DevZone earlier, there might be a bug here. I'll report to the VS Code Extension team.

I'll let you know when I find out more.

Best regards,

Raoul
