There are some problems when loading the project with vscode

Hello Joyop,

1: When you say that it takes "almost 5 minutes", is that every time? Can you try to time it, and see if it is exactly the same amount of time, or if it is just a similar amount of time? Just want to check whether there is a timer expiring, or if it actually finds what it is looking for. 

When it is done loading, does the NRF Connect plugin in VS code work? You are able to build projects? When you close and open VS Code, does it find the projects you were using in the previous session?

2: This is a known issue, unfortunately. If it is too annoying, you can hover the mouse over it and click "quick fix". I believe that brings up an option to disable squiggly lines. Either way, as long as the project compiles (and it doesn't give you any warnings), then it is just the IDE that doesn't understand it. The compiler understands LOG_INF() just fine.

Best regards,

Edvin

Hi Edvin,

Thanks for your reply.

I repeatedly opened and closed VS code several times and found that most of the time it took two and a half to three minutes for the NRF Connect plugin to load, occasionally more than four minutes .

Yes, NRF Connect plugin does work when it is done loading. Just curious why it takes so long to load.

Best wishes,

Joyop

Well, it does seem that long loading is abnormal.

Here are plugins I have installed. Is there any plugins that NCS does not need? I will try to disable it and test again.

Also, I have a guess, is it related to the network environment? Does NRF Connect plugin need to be used online?

Other than checking for updates regularly (which I guess VS code does, and not the plugin itself), I don't think it is dependent on the network environment. I will double check this with the developers.

click the one called nRF Connect for VS Code Extension Pack, which has the small "8" in the bottom left "corner". This lists all the plugins that are used by nRF Connect for VS Code.

Thanks.

Besides, another problem came up today. When I use __packed, some problems are reported as follow. Is the compiler does not support __packed? Or it is just the IDE doesn't understand it?

Where do you used __packet? 

Did you try building from the command line as well? Is "packet" found then?

Hello,

how many builds and applications do you have in the nRF Connect for VS Code plugin?
