Import Project

[Octopus1633]

Hello,

What are the requirements of pico-vscode for imported projects? I can successfully import pico-examples and compile, but when I import my own project, I cannot import it successfully and there is no prompt.

I noticed that there is such a prompt on the import project interface:
Basic Settings
Warning: Project Import Wizard may not work for all projects, and will often require manual correction after the import

Hi,
do you have any output in the "Output > Extension Host" panel?
and do you have a small example project on GitHub that silently fails when importing?

I have similar experience: New Project From Example works end-to-end.

New Project and Import Project fail silently, after flashing a brief Activating Extensions... notification on the bottom bar.
"Output > Extension Host" is empty. No message logged by the extension.

visual studio 1.19.2
plugin raspberry-pi.raspberry-pi-pico [0.15.2] - 2024-08-23

I don't see a CMakeLists.txt file in the root of that repository - this extension only works with CMake projects, so requires a CMakeLists.txt file in the root of the project directory

Can you try the latest debug build (so the vsix file prefixed with debug-) and see if you get any output in the developer console (Help > Toggle Developer Tools) when opening a new vscode window with no open folder and then opening our sidebar panel or just running the new project command via the command palette Ctrl+Shift+P > Raspberry Pi Pico > New Project ?

Thanks for your reply. I solved this problem later. It was because my CMakeLists.txt file contained Chinese comments (it was indeed comments). I changed them to English comments or deleted them and it was successfully imported!
