New C/C++ Project, Import Project and New Project From Example are blank pages

[MarcoMagana]

1. Installing VSCodeUserSetup-x64-1.95.3 on Windows 10
2. Installing Raspberry Pi Pico Extension.
3. Click on New C/C++ Project, Import Project, or New Project From Example show blank pages.
   

Reinstalling VSCode and Raspberry Pi Pico Extension do not fix the problem.

The page can sometimes take time to load, but if you close all the pages, close and reopen VS Code, and then try to open one of the pages again (rather than multiple at once) it should work.

Do you get any output in the developer console (Help->Toggle Developer Tools)? Could you also try using the latest debug build which you can download from Actions, which should provide more output in the developer console?

I get the following log:

[will-v-pi]

That looks like you’re having some internet problems not related to this extension, given its printing issues with other extensions too - possibly your anti-virus or firewall causing issues?

[MarcoMagana]

It looks like some firewall policies do not let me access some sites required to develop with the Raspberry Pi Pico plugin. I've tried at a different location (ISP) and had no problem. However, I cannot create projects when I am not connected to the Internet. So, how do I overcome that when I'm on the move? Is there a way to configure the plugin to work offline?

[will-v-pi]

You should be able to create projects when not connected to the internet, provided you've previously created a project with the same settings while connected to the internet, so that the Toolchain, SDK, CMake etc have been downloaded.

I've confirmed that this works for me, so I can create new projects when offline, provided I've previously created a project while online in order to download all the tools.

[MarcoMagana]

I created a project from an example, several of them actually and I always get the pop-up message "Unable to find compilation information for this file"
