After Extension Update: CMake Error "include could not find requested file"

[ReinhardKeil]

Type: Feature Request

Now the extension includes the CMSIS-Toolbox and the related make files are in the directory of the VSCode extension.

After an extension update the user may get errors like this:

Building CMake target 'core1.Debug+FRDM-MCXN947'
[0/1] Re-running CMake...
CMake Error at toolchain.cmake:5 (include):
  include could not find requested file:

    C:/Users/reikei01/.vscode/extensions/arm.cmsis-csolution-1.62.2-81-g84039b4/tools/cmsis-toolbox/etc/AC6.6.16.2.cmake

The work-around is to execute a "Rebuild solution" or "Clean all" command. But perhaps there is a better solution to this.

@brondani, to me, this seems to be the CMake cache, i.e., the generated files refer to the "old toolbox location". Is there a way to force CMake into regeneration by file modification?

Yes this requires extending the rebuild trigger in cbuild, it will be tracked in Open-CMSIS-Pack/cbuild#532.
