trouble with Version 0.9.5

[mrmoon01]

Today I updated to version 0.9.5. All of the commands are not working anymore. Also build and debug symbols at the bottom of vs code lost. My vs code version is 1.12.2

THAT'S BAD. I'm seeing the same issue on my Linux box.

Could you open the VSCode developer tools and paste the traceback for "Error during CMake Tools initialization"

Also, what platform are you working on?

[gruntbatch]

I also updated and am encountering similar errors. Upon launching VSCode, I am given a warning that VSCode was "Unable to determine CMake Generator to use." Here are the tracebacks for my errors:

I'm on Windows, using VSCode 1.12.2

Turns out, I need to pay more attention to the changelogs. @vector-of-bool thanks, and feel free to clean this up if you'd like.

[vector-of-bool]

@gruntbatch, something's awry with CMake Server in your case. As a temporary workaround, you can disable CMake Server (It was set enabled by default in the recent update). Set cmake.enableCMakeServer cmake.useCMakeServer to false in your settings.json.

[vector-of-bool]

@gruntbatch, even then, you shouldn't see this error. Were you running in a build environment context? Within a VS dev command Window?

[gruntbatch]

@vector-of-bool No, I wasn't.
I couldn't see cmake.enableCMakerServer as a configurable setting, so I assume you were referring to the cmake.useCMakerServer.
With cmake.useCMakeServer disabled, I have no problems what so ever I can build projects without issue. With cmake.useCMakeServer enabled, and launching from the developer console, I get these messages:

Error setting up client: Error: Failed to activate protocol version: "CMAKE_GENERATOR" is set but incompatible with configured generator value.

    at fulfilled (C:\Users\USER\.vscode\extensions\vector-of-bool.cmake-tools-0.9.5\out\src\client.js:4:58)

And I get messages about cmake commands not being found.

I haven't done any major configuring of CMake (3.8.2), besides putting it on the path, so it's likely that I ignored a critical step at some point.

[vector-of-bool]

@gruntbatch, what generator were you using before this broke?

[vector-of-bool]

Just pushed an 0.9.6. Hopefully it will solve this problem. Can I get a report back when you get to try it?

[mrmoon01]

Same problem with 9.6
I am working on Linux Mint (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4)
I am not sure if I understand you correct but this is what I get when open developer tool's console

[Update] After disabling cmake server it is working.

On macOS 0.9.5 version not working at all without any errors/output.
[Update] I have disabled CMake server and it is working now.

[gruntbatch]

@vector-of-bool Visual Studio 15 2017.
And 9.6 seems to work fine for me.

[Moerten]

Same problem with debian 8.8.0 (cmake tools 0.9.5 and 0.9.6) for several days. I also deleted the build folder but still have an "CMake: Unconfigured Project: Release: Ready". I always pressed "F7" for rebuild. Do I need to reconfigure cmake again having deleted the build folder now? Also tried several commands from "Befehlspalette": cmake: clean; cmake: configure; cmake: build and so on.

[vector-of-bool]

@mrmoon01, in your case, with CMake 3.5, it should automatically fall back to the legacy backend, because CMake Server isn't available at that version.

For anyone else still experiencing this issue after the 0.9.6 update, could I get your CMake version and the output from the dev console?

All,

It's no longer required (and not recommended) to manually set cmake.useCMakeServer. Please set it back to true: version detection is fixed and you should no longer see errors. If you do see errors after changing it back, please open up a new ticket with the new-and-improved initialization error messages.

See my latest comment on #157 regarding the above issues.

Thanks!
