Hi Team,
I cannot build sample code (like a LED Button Service (LBS)) with nRF Connect SDK v2.3.0 for VS code setting.
And I found "west" error by debugging comment. Refer to attachment image.
Please let us know how to solve this problem.
Best Regards,
Tsutsumi
It looks like your SDK is not being installed correctly.
You can try to open Toolchina Manager, go to the terminal and execute the command "west update" on the SDK directory.
After that, try to build the code again.
There was no "west build" tool before "west update":
After "west update", there are more commands including "west build":
Hi,
Thank you for your information.

Best Regars,

Hi,
I copied some folders to C\ncs\v2.3.0 as following.
But the situation is still same.
The support information is below in this case.
Could you share a picture as shown below, of where you install your SDK?
If you are storing it under c://Nordic and you have the rest under c://ncs , this might be a problem.
C:\ncs but the registry is not updated. You need to call west zephyr-export in C:\ncs\v.2.3.0. Or reinstall it properly again.
Hi,
My SDK is below.
I no longer use the c:\nordic folder.
Please let me know how to call west zephyr-export.
Best Regards,
Tsutsumi

Please "Open command prompt" as shown below:
And then type west zephyr-export as shown:

Hi Priyanka,
Thank you for your advice.
I can build the sample code after I reinstalled SDK and west zephyr-export.
Best Regards,
Tsutsumi
Happy to help 
Glad to hear that it works. Please close the ticket in case of no further queries on this in order to help future seekers and to keep Devzone clean.
Have a great day.
