Manage components not working on VSCode?

[jBahae]

Hello everyone,

I'm experiencing an issue with managing SDK components in Visual Studio Code. When I click on "Manage components," nothing happens at all.
I access this feature by right-clicking on the project, then selecting Configure → Manage Components.

I've attached a screenshot showing all the tools I have installed. And as you can see, the SDK has been properly added to my repository.
Is there something I'm missing in my setup? Has anyone else encountered this issue and found a solution?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @jBahae,

The manage component option will prompt a component search on the top search bar of VS Code:

It might be slow, but after a while of loading the available components, these should display as such:

Do you see the top search bar loading? If so, please be patient as it will take a while to load all of the components.

BR,
Edwin.

Thank you for your reply. It works for projects created directly in VSCode - I created a new SDK example following your instructions and it worked as demonstrated.
However, my main project was originally developed in MCUXpresso IDE, and I'm now trying to migrate it to VSCode. Is there a way to make this functionality work for projects that were initially created in MCUXpresso IDE?

Hi @jBahae,

I have replicated this issue. Indeed, when trying to manage components from a project that was converted to VS Code using the MCUXpresso IDE Project Converter, it won't work. I believe this is a bug and I already reported it to the VS Code team for their review. In the meantime, I recommend you manage the necessary components using the option in MCUXpresso, before importing the project to VS Code. This seems to be the only current workaround.

Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.

BR,
Edwin.
