Unable to build with version 1.14.x

[AndersHogqvist]

Brief Issue Summary

Everything works just fine using version 1.13.45, but when switching to 1.14.x I'm no longer able to build. After configuration I get the following error:

[rollbar] Unhandled exception: Unhandled Promise rejection: cleanRebuild TypeError: inputs is not iterable {}

Thanks for the report. I think this issue may have been introduced by #3009 (and is triggered by a missing targets property in tasks.json), but I'm having trouble reproducing the issue to be sure. To help narrow it down, can you provide the tasks.json that you're using (if any) and tell me how you are starting your build (e.g. running a task, invoking a certain command from the command palette, clicking a button in the statusbar, etc.)? Also if there's anything unusual about your CMake project please let me know.

[AndersHogqvist]

I'm happy to provide you with as much info as possible. I don't know what can be categorized as "unusual" but some general info about this project:

• I'm working in a dev container with Ubuntu
• It's a cross-compile project with two cmake kits targeting x64 and ARM
• I have a toolchain/build environment for ARM

I'm triggering the build by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+P and choosing CMake: Build, CMake: Clean Rebuild etc.

Here are some related files (including tasks.json) used in the project. Just ask if there's anything else you need.

Here's the tasks.json:

Adding "targets": ["all"] to the cmake build task in tasks.json solved it! Now I can build with v.1.14.30

Thanks. it works for me too.
But now I'm getting the following on the console so every time it rebuilds the project, it first doing clean.

The defined targets in this task are being ignored.
clean task started....
/usr/local/bin/cmake --build /project/build --config Debug --target clean -j 8 --
clean finished successfully.
build task started....
/usr/local/bin/cmake --build /project/build --config Debug --target my_target -j 8 --

I don't have that issue. Are you using the command palette and "CMake: Build" to start the build?

Yes. It's also binded to F7 by default.

I've tried to downgrade to 1.13.45 and the following popup now appears (with "targets": ["all"] added to tasks.json) :

my tasks.json now looks like this:

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "Build the active target",
            "type": "cmake",
            "command": "build",
            "targets" : ["all"],
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
            }
        }
    ]
}

I've tracked this down to a combination of cmake.buildTasks being true while targets is not set in tasks.json and have PR out with a fix. @MikeTuev I believe that popup is expected after you add "targets": ["all"] because the extension is now having trouble figuring out which task is a best fit for your currently selected build targets. The popup should go away after we get the fix out and you revert your tasks.json changes.
