how to build a "basic" project - An error tells that "basic" is not an allowed compiler #55

Hi everyone,

I try the simplest of a new BASIC project with this project-config:

{ "name": "basic_example", "description": "Example for BASIC", "toolkit": "basic", "sources": [ "src/main.bas" ], "args": ["--lower"] }

But an error pops up: ...project-config.json : Error : property 'toolkit' needs to be either 'acme', 'kick', 'cc65' or 'llvm'

The documentation tells that for BASIC compilation noting more is needed to install. I'm able to build the other ones with no problems, f. e. an "acme" project builds correct. How can I do a BASIC project? Thank you.

It was my own fault. Working on Apple Silicon and VS Code was not updated properly so I had not installed the latest version of VS64. Did a manual upgrade to version 2.5.3 (with BASIC support) and it works now.
