Unable to use the extension when `cmake.sourceDirectory` is a subdirectory

[FtZPetruska]

Brief Issue Summary

Starting version 1.14.29, the extension fails to work when the source directory is not the root of the workspace.

Whether the project is already configured or not, the CMake/Build tab in OUTPUT reads:

Unhandled exception: Failed to open CMake cache file on code model update Folder is not found in Test Explorer: /users/ganyu/git/dsda-doom/prboom2 {}

For reference, the workspace path is /users/ganyu/git/dsda-doom, and the top-level CMakeLists.txt is located in the subdirectory prboom2, and set through this workspace setting:

"cmake.sourceDirectory": "${workspaceFolder}/prboom2"

When this error happens, the CPU usage skyrockets, and no command from the status bar or the command palette have any effect.

It should be noted that this issue does not happen when then CMakeLists.txt is at the root of the directory.

I am having the same issue

[joshua-nmi]

I also have the same issue.

Same issue here....

+1. Tried cleaning every vscode cache I could find on osx. Happens on linux containers too.

Also confirmed that version 1.13.45 does not have the issue. 1.14 is a poison pill.

I have a PR out to fix this. Until we release an update, you have a few options:

• Revert back to a previous version of the extension
  1. Open the Extensions Panel
  2. Click the gear icon on the CMake Tools item
  3. Select "Install Another Version..."
  4. Select 1.13.45 from the list
• Patch this version manually
  1. Find the folder where VS Code installs your extensions (something like $HOME/.vscode/extensions)
  2. Open ms-vscode.cmake-tools-1.14.29\dist\main.js
  3. Goto line 38947
  4. replace project.folderPath with project.sourceDir
  5. Goto line 38948
  6. replace project.folderPath with project.sourceDir

I've been working with @benmcmorran to prep a patch release which should go out pretty soon. You can take one of the steps above or wait a little bit for the official patch.

[benmcmorran]

The fix for this issue is included in version 1.14.30 of the extension, which is now available on the VS Code Marketplace. Thanks for your quick report and for your patience while we got a fix out, and please let us know if you're still seeing this issue on the new version.
