VSCode Compiler errors & Warnings do not appear in VSCode problems tab

[robsrick]

Hey, For some reason I don't get compile warnings or errors listed in the VSCode problems tab. Any ideas why? See video below for a demo.

We need this feature added back in, any further status on this? Why were warnings / errors removed? We need the option to turn on/off at will, please advise...

I don't think this was ever removed. What missing errors do you refer to?

The problem is exactly as the original posting states, nothing has changed, errors / warnings still do not appear in the "problems" tab...

Oh, Sorry. I misunderstood. Yes. The build errors have never been part of the problems tab, no. And as far as I know, it is not planned to be. I can add it as a feature request. However, for now you must use the build output. 

Best regards,

Hmmm... strange, as others have posted, these warnings / errors had shown in the problems tab before, so this must be a new change / stance on the state of the plugin. Huge inconvenience, so it would be nice to have this added as a feature request as soon as possible...

+ This definitely used to work and some release of the nrf tooling broke it - whether or not it was intended as a feature.

... but it's hard to understand how this isn't an intentional feature when every other compiler integration with VSCode uses the problemMatchers. Pretty basic feature.

yes, I also think its a huge inconvenience. its really bad to always have to search the build output if it could be so so so much better.

What I see is that the Kconfig warnings in the problems tab, for example if I set:

Is that not present in your case?
