[QUESTION] VSCode Project version git - VERSION "...64" format invalid.

[dARoB2108]

When starting VSCode or opening of the Prusa-Firmware folder, I am greeted with an error message regarding the Firmware version from git. While everything was working properly just hours ago, now nothing does. Here is the log from the output window. Can anyone help with this one?

Thanks!

Cheers, RoB

@dARoB2108 Just tested your issue on Linux and Windows, without any issues on both while following the instrauction in the README.md https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware#visual-studio-code-vscode instructions.

Also tested a download as zip and also here no issues.

[dARoB2108]

I tried those steps again and created a new project after the issue appeared for the first time with no luck. As far as I understood, CMake tries to get the version number from git and it seems that this number is not proper. How to avoid/repair it I do not know!

[3d-gussner]

Yes we try to get the version from github and if you clone the repository it works. If you download the source code as zip then we can't get any information from github and use the information stored in Configuration.h

I really don't know why your setup reports [cmake] -- Project version git..............: ...64

Which OS do you use?

[dARoB2108]

I'm using windows 10. I just tried the method of downloading the zip file, unzipped it, started VSCode, open folder from new destination, started the bootstrap python code, reloaded VSCode, same issue.

But I think I might know what I have done wrong. In CMake there is this small button called "Delete Cache and Reconfigure" - what I have mistakenly activated this. How to revert back to old settings?

Thanks!

[dARoB2108]

I just tried everything again from beginning with the instructions and this time everything worked flawlessly. I don't understand why, but this can be closed.

Thanks!

@dARoB2108 Glad to hear that is solved :hugs:
