Problems with Loading Solution (cbuild setup integration)

[ReinhardKeil]

vscode-cmsis-solution 1.60.0
CMSIS-Toolbox 2.11
Windows 11

Test Project: Blank_solution.zip

This test project highlights several issues:

1. Loading solution wheel never stops, as the Blank_solution2.cproject.yml file does not exist
   Duplicate by uncomment the line

#- project: Blank_solution2.cproject.yml   # non-existing project name never stops "Loading Solution"

2. Error: ST-Board.dbgconf not found.

      messages:
        errors:
          - file 'C:/w/cmsis-zephyr/STM32H7B3I-DK_Zephyr/Blank_solution/.cmsis/Blank_solution+ST-Board.dbgconf' not found; use --update-rte

• I believe this should just a warning, not an error.
• update-rte does not copy Blank_solution+ST-Board.dgbconf but instead Blank_solution+STM32H7B3I-DK.dbgconf

3. Adding target-type to project-context -> misleading error

Execute: cbuild c:\w\cmsis-zephyr.bak\STM32H7B3I-DK_Zephyr\Blank_solution\Blank_solution.csolution.yml --active ST-Board --packs
error csolution: unknown selected context(s):
  Blank_solution+ST-Board+ST-Board
Completed: cbuild failed with exit code 1

As a user, I don't understand where the context Blank_solution+ST-Board+ST-Board is specified.
I suggest to fix this in the schema, by disallowing +target-type in project-context:.

This is an UI issue. Assigning @edriouk to help investigating it.

2. Error: ST-Board.dbgconf not found.
   I believe this should just a warning, not an error.

Implemented as requested in Open-CMSIS-Pack/devtools#1694. This is a common mechanism for all config files.

update-rte does not copy Blank_solution+ST-Board.dgbconf but instead Blank_solution+STM32H7B3I-DK.dbgconf

I cannot reproduce it. It seems to work just as expected by copying Blank_solution+ST-Board.dbgconf and Blank_solution+ST-Board.dbgconf.base@1.1.0

3. Adding target-type to project-context -> misleading error
   I suggest to fix this in the schema, by disallowing +target-type in project-context:

Yes this is feasible by adding a stricter pattern in the schema -> done in Open-CMSIS-Pack/devtools#2231.

We still have an endless "Loading ..." in the CMSIS View

• initially because of missing dbgconf file

fixed: adding target-type to project-context creates a schema error
missing main.c or missing cproject file does not prevent CMSIS View from loading.

Validating using CI build - CMSIS Solution - 1.62.2-95-gcb0cc26

Endless loading ... of the CMSIS View can still be observed.
Rename project: to a non existing cproject.yml file
All error messages are indicating the right cause, but remain in the "Loading ..." state, probably because there is no valid project file to display the outline from.
If I combine an existing and none-existing project, the existing project is correctly displayed and no "Loading..." message.

Display an error message if no valid project information was found to display to indicate that this view is not actively doing something anymore.
