CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE value empty on configure and install using VS Code
See original GitHub issueI am using VS Code on windows 10 since last year, and it is working perfectly with vscode-cmake-tools.
Cmake command:
message("Build type of project is : " ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE})
The expectation is when I configure cmake project it should show the selected configuration.
When Debug build is selected from status bar of VS code.
Expected result would be:
Build type of project is : Debug
But unfortunately, it is not showing build type
Build type of project is :
Same case happened when I Cmake: Release project.
It is not able to detect the selected build type.
Can anyone please suggest what to do in this case to get selected values in cmake_build_type ?

I see a mispelling in your preferredGenerators setting from your response. Can you confirm which generator is actually being selected? CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is not set when Visual Studio is the generator because it generates a project with all build types. Ninja will set the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE because it only generates one build type per variant.
Glad to hear it’s working now!
