Configuring error with vcpkg

Brief Issue Summary

I’m using vcpkg to import a logging library (spdlog) with cmake 3.18.0, using this extension, cmake tools.

I followed all the steps in here, successfully downloaded the library I required with the command vcpkg install spdlog and added the command-line argument specified here in the settings.json file like this:

"cmake.configureArgs": [
    "-CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE:FILEPATH=\"${workspaceFolder}\\vcpkg\\scripts\\buildsystems\\vcpkg.cmake\""
],

And my CMakeLists.txt file looks like this:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.18.0)
project("Ampoule" VERSION 1.0.0)

file(GLOB_RECURSE SOURCE_FILES CONFIGURE_DEPENDS *.cpp *.h)

find_package(spdlog CONFIG REQUIRED)

add_executable(ampoule ${SOURCE_FILES})

target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE spdlog::spdlog spdlog::spdlog_header_only)

But I’m having an issue while loading the toolchain file (the one specified in the configureArgs) and the configuration fails because cmake is not able to find the package ‘spdlog’ since the vcpkg.make file, the one passed with the -CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE, fails to load.

Expected:

The project configures successfully and I’m able to #include the library sources into my source code

Apparent Behavior:

The project configuring fails since it is not able to find the package ‘spdlog’

The result when configuring (saving the CMakeLists.txt file) is the following:

[main] Configuring folder: Ampoule

[cmake]   Add the installation prefix of "spdlog" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set

[cmake] 
[cmake] 
[cmake] -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Notice these two lines, where the file starts loading:

[cmake] loading initial cache file MAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE:FILEPATH="c:\Users\seriv\Documents\OneDrive\Ampoule\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake"

And when it errors:

[cmake] CMake Error: Error processing file: C:/Users/d4n1_/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/MAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE:FILEPATH="c:/Users/seriv/Documents/OneDrive/Ampoule/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"

The path in the last one looks a bit different and weird.

@serivesmejia Hi, do you try it by command line?
