If someone is looking for an alternative, use the clangd extension. It’s much better compared to the Microsoft one.
LLDB extension is good for debugging. Also works with gdb.
The only things I am lacking now is the one for remote, python.
I am trying to figure out how to get zephyr, platformio, and nrfconnect to work with clangd.
Platformio screams every second because Microsoft’s tooling is a dependency.
Zephyr and nrfconnect work for many things, but things like including drivers from zephyr/drivers doesn’t autofill which is annoying if you are searching for a driver that might exist in nrfconnect or might not because there are some differences. It also doesn’t autofill macros and device tree defines.
If anyone has a good guide on how to set up clangd for zephyr, I would appreciate it!

Based on https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/develop/getting_started/index.html Zephyr seems to use cmake
So you should be able to use https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS.html to generate the compile commands json and configure clangd to use that.
Yeah, I have that set that via
set(CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS ON)but no compile_commands.json are actually output, sadly.Oooh I’ll give it a try, wasn’t aware of it.
BasedPyright should have you covered on the Python end, the downside is you also need to install the PyPi package.
Have used it and it’s excellent, even has additional features over Pylance
Do you still have refactoring tools with it, like symbol renaming, go to definition, and extract method?
I think so, and it might even be a feature of the upstream Microsoft OSS Pyright, so even that version should(?) have those features available
No Pyright is just a type checker. The IDE features are part of Pylance which is closed source.
