To create a west workspace that will include one or more workspace applications, complete the following steps:
- Open the application source directory in the VS Code workspace. This application will become a workspace application at the end of this procedure.
- In the Welcome View, click Manage SDKs > Manage West Workspace.
A quick pick menu appears. - Click Create West Workspace.
This all-in-one action moves your application one level down into anapplicationdirectory, creates a west manifest file that matches the last used SDK, and then automatically begins to set up the workspace around it by callingnRF Connect: West Init. - Click Run west update in the Manage West Workspace.
You can also use thenRF Connect: West Updatecommand from the Command Palette.
The west update command populates your west workspace with projects referenced in the manifest file. You can follow the progress of the update in the Output terminal.
Note
If you happen to create a west workspace without initializing it, it will contain a manifest file that is not linked to the SDK. In such cases, a warning message appears in the Status Bar, where you can initialize the west manifest or remove it.
