sudden problem with setting nrf connect SDK path

[ziv123]

hello Nordic

i am working with vs code with the nrf extension for vs code, usually works fine

i have some issue with building and i see that the path for the nrf connect SDK does not update:

it can be seen that ncs is set to dir workspace/ncs, but in the log it goes to ziv/ncs/ which is the wrong path, i tried to close and reopen the vs code and i see that when reopened it it again set to the wrong path, how can i fix this bug ?

the build fail log is this:

this problem came out of nowhere, one day it works the next it does not, so unclear

hope to read from you soon, this is a real annoying setback

Hi, 

I ever had had the same issue. I fixed this by removing all projects from the workspace, closing and reopening VS code to clean every setting. and then importing the one to work. Hope this can help you.

Hi,

well i did something like that, closing and reopening VS code did not help. what i did is uninstall and delete the toolchain and then reinstall it in the 'ncs' dir that is in my workspace dir to both the nrf connect sdk path is part of the path for the tool chain and now it works but the fact that something suddenly change is why i start this thread, to understand if there is some bug with the VS code or the nrf extension, or some configuration needed ? 

there is also an issue with CS code when building after doing changes in the code sometime i also need to delete the build, close and reopen the VS code to avoid getting the same build without the changes i did even though it looks like it builds everything (i always do pristine build so it is not that) 

hope to read you soon

best regards

Ziv

i will inform, that every time there is an update to the "nrf connect for VS code" extension on vs code i get this problem, what solved it this time was return to version 2023.1.44

please inform, it wastes a lot of time each time there is this build issue
