Active build configuration warning

[andreeis]

With current CMT code base, any project gets a warning from CppTools about. This is with presets on, but even if the currently selected configure preset does define CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.

The build configurations generated do not contain the active build configuration. Using 'Debug' for CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE instead of 'null' to ensure that IntelliSense configurations can be found.

Andreea Isac (@andreeis) can you share the repro for this? And also run CMake: Log Diagnostics and share it here.

[andreeis]

Here you go. I am not noticing any hint. Also, on linux it doesn't happen and the below is on windows.

mac also has this bug too

[chausner]

I am running into the same or a very similar error. Using Ubuntu with gcc, the CMake project uses a toolchain generated by Conan. I also am using CMake presets.

I install two configurations (Debug and Release) with Conan, the CMakePresets.json generated by Conan has two configurations:

    "configurePresets": [
        {
            "name": "Debug",
            "displayName": "Debug Config",
            "description": "Debug configure using 'Unix Makefiles' generator",
            "generator": "Unix Makefiles",
            "cacheVariables": {
                "CMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP0091": "NEW",
                "CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE": "Debug"
            },
            "toolchainFile": "/home/chris/conantest/build/generators/conan_toolchain.cmake",
            "binaryDir": "/home/chris/conantest/cmake-build-debug"
        },
        {
            "name": "Release",
            "displayName": "Release Config",
            "description": "Release configure using 'Unix Makefiles' generator",
            "generator": "Unix Makefiles",
            "cacheVariables": {
                "CMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP0091": "NEW",
                "CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE": "Release"
            },
            "toolchainFile": "/home/chris/conantest/build/generators/conan_toolchain.cmake",
            "binaryDir": "/home/chris/conantest/cmake-build-release"
        }
    ],
    "buildPresets": [
        {
            "name": "Debug",
            "configurePreset": "Debug"
        },
        {
            "name": "Release",
            "configurePreset": "Release"
        }
    ],

I've noticed that the cpptools warning always occurs when switching to a configuration that has not been built last. E.g. I configure "Debug", build "Debug", switch to "Release", then it would show

[cpptools] The build configurations generated do not contain the active build configuration. Using "Debug" for CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE instead of "Release" to ensure that IntelliSense configurations can be found

If I then build in Release mode and switch the config back to "Debug", it shows

I think the problem lies in

    "activeBuildType": "Debug",
    "buildTypesSeen": [
      "Release"
    ],

The cpptools extension only seems to see the last-built build type but the active build type can be different.

[sketch34]

I see this behavior on Windows with MSVC / Ninja generator.

[cpptools] The build configurations generated do not contain the active build configuration. Using "Debug" for CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE instead of "null" to ensure that IntelliSense configurations can be found

Same problem on Win11 with "vscodeVersion": "1.70.2", "cmtVersion": "1.11.26". I think chausner has the hint that these two configurations don't correlate:
"activeBuildType": "MinSizeRel", "buildTypesSeen": [ "Debug" ],

[maximilianmordig]

I solved the issue by calling cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug <cmakelist_folder> because the variable was not set before (despite triggering the cmake build within VSCode). You can also edit it visually with ccmake.
With this, it worked as expected.

[jnz86]

Same issue. Windows, CMake tools, Ninja.

Couldn't get 1621 's solution to work -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug seems to have no effect for me.
