@jhox616 I’d need your console output.

Also a list of all other plugins that you’ve enabled.

Ok so I think this is the console log wanted:

I have a pop up that says “Provide target folder”

    There’s no CMakeLists.txt in the folder you’re trying to build. Is there a project there? I suggest you use the quick launch menu CTRL+SHIFT+P and type Zephyr Tools: Change and change the project to what you’re targeting.

    The Zephyr Tools plugin also allows you to create blank new projects if that’s needed.

    I’d first recommend you follow my instructions here exactly to get some NFED samples working, then, change to use your own project.

    Hi Jared,

    I followed the guide and still got the error with build.ninja file not being available

    Executing task: west build -b circuitdojo_feather_nrf9160/nrf9160/ns -d build\circuitdojo_feather_nrf9160 

ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': The system cannot find the file specified.

FATAL ERROR: command exited with status 1: 'C:\Users\Jerrad\.zephyrtools\cmake\cmake-3.22.0-windows-x86_64\bin\cmake.EXE' --build 'C:\SmartCollar\nfed\samples\blinky\build\circuitdojo_feather_nrf9160'

 *  The terminal process "C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Command west build -b circuitdojo_feather_nrf9160/nrf9160/ns -d build\circuitdojo_feather_nrf9160" terminated with exit code: 1.

    I was using python 3.9 but I got the error which says that it was looking for version 3.10. I upgraded and then got the error above. Also this folder is at the very shortest path. I can’t see any reasons why this is not working. I also ran setup two times just to be sure. I made the mistake of running zephyr setup on version 0.15 but then adjusted it to version 0.16.

    I was using python 3.9

    3.9 is the recommended/tested version

    Do you have ninja in your path? You can type

    ninja --version

    It should work as long as your setup phase went well.

    I have this same issue am have raise another post (pending approval).

    I suspect the Zephyr Build process is broken and is silently failing. Have found the 7z sdk has not been unarchived properly or environment variables set as expected.

      If you make any progress on this will you please post back here?
      I have been working on this for over a month with no luck.
      IDK if there is another way to program the board with out using the extension but I’m willing to try anything at this point.

          It think this was a combination of things:

          • 7z support stopped working for some reason. It’s now fixed in 0.3.5
          • Recommend python version is >= 3.10
          • Fixed some of the race conditions in Setup and Init Repo

          I pushed this version to VS Marketplace. It should be available soon.

          jhox616 we got it working with a workaround in place.
          see: Other Thread

          The extension in VScode will need updating (thanks @jaredwolff ) and you might need to copy onle of the folders if you get a 7zip error.

          Good luck!

            @FlareHalo I pushed 0.3.6 which should address the issues you were still seeing. Let me know if things look better now. cc @jhox616

            @jhox616 did you try the latest update on your side? Let me know if you run into any other snags.
