"RIOT Init" command hangs on "RIOT setup, please wait"

[luverolla]

The RIOT Init command hangs on "RIOT setup, please wait", and generates only the tasks.json file (with correct content) and a riot_paths.json file with this strange content

{
    "browse": {
        "path": []
    }
}

All settings are configured correctly (make command completes with success)

This is the environment I'm working on:

OS: Ubuntu 22.04 (on X11)
Board: ESP8266

The project I've tested is Arduino hello-world example.

Does anyone know any hint?

For anyone struggling with this problem, I found a workaround.

Since the tasks.json is correctly generated, the only problem left is the unability, for VSCode, to resolve include paths. These paths are the same as those generated in the eclipsesym.xml file, when following the Eclipse configuration guide.

So, it's only necessary to add these paths into the includePath field of c_cpp_properties.json, under the workspaceFolder item (the file, if not yet present, can be generated by editing the settings of C/C++ extension in VSCode)
