Can't build Release, no hints on error.

Trying to build release but its failing with the only message being the screenshot above. Building debug works, but release has an issue

No this isn't an example program. The command that it's trying to run is a nordic command line tool that is merging the softdevice and our bootloader file that is created earlier during the build process. Seeing that it is under post-build commands I google it and found it would be related to the post-build commands but when I look at that option in my SES options for the project it seems empty(pictured below). Do you know if there are any other fields that it could be using to find the directory to the tools?

For finding how the build is setup, both the Release and Debug configurations could be inheriting from the Common configuration. Try looking at that.

I understand that it is not an example program from your earlier replies. What I meant to ask is, what is your starting point with this project? You must start from somewhere, right? Even if it's just no BLE blinky.

I think it is unlikely that you have added post-build commands yourself. That is why I asked what your base is, so that I can check how the post-build commands are setup in your base project.

Also, if the command relies on a Windows path, it is weird that it only fails once...

It was happening in Release but not Debug so it wouldn't be that, but I did find the issue. There was a line in the .emproject for post build commands that was running that mergehex.exe but it wasn't showing up in the IDE. deleting the line fix the issue

That's excellent. Please feel free to close this question by verifying an answer then. I suggest adding to your latest reply the use of the recommended version of SES and verify it. That would be most concise for future readers.
