Missing commands for kits

[symjocoleman]

I've installed the extension and I'm trying to set it up to work with an MSYS2 environment.

From the command pallet, I don't have any of the options relating to kits, like:

• Edit User-Local CMake Kits
• Scan for Kits
• Select a Kit

I'm able to run the commands if I add custom key bindings, but I can't see or run them from the command palette. What's going on?

@symjocoleman Have you opened VS Code in a workspace that has a CMakeLists.txt? It could be that, if you've opened it in an empty folder, it won't activate the extension.

Hopefully we can get you started!

The workspace has a CMakeLists.txt file.

I tried another workspace, https://github.com/jameskbride/cmake-hello-world, and the kit's are showing there.

It seems the issue is with the CMakePresets.json in my workspace, as if I copy that into the cmake-hello-world workspace and reload VS I lose the options for selecting a kit.

Ahh, this is expected. Kits and CMakePreset.json are by design mutually exclusive. We suggest people to move to CMakePresets.json, but if you want to use kits, you cannot use CMakePresets.json
