Hi,

The developers are looking into the issue. Until there is a fix, the recommended workaround is to link the build configs and devices, as I mentioned previously.

Best regards,
Marte

Good, that link config/device workaround works.

The content of that support information generation reminds me that setting

NRF terminal Scrollback does not work.

RE: VS-Code to BLE-Sniffer nrf52840-dk flash-program-debug incompatibility Bug

Marte Myrvold — Mon, 20 Feb 2023 12:56:47 GMT

Hi,

It is possible to link devices to build configurations in the extension:

Linking the device and the build configuration will make VS Code always program the linked device. This also works for debugging.

I have seen someone else with the same issue and believe it to be a bug.
Please provide support information from the VS Code extension:

Open the command palette (Ctrl + Shift + P or View > Command Palette).
Write "nRF Connect: Generate support information" and press enter.
Copy the entire support information output.
Upload it here using Insert > Code or upload a .txt file with Insert > Image/video/file.

Make sure to remove confidential information you do not want to be shared in a public case.

Best regards,

Marte
