I rolled back to the previous version, it had the metadata.json in the directory mentioned in the error message. I copied the metadata.json to the newer version's (2.0) boards folder and that error message went away.

I got another error message:
2024-02-02 21:10:19.508 [error] Activating extension joedevivo.vscode-circuitpython failed due to an error: 2024-02-02 21:10:19.509 [error] Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'c:\Users\Quinn\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\globalStorage\joedevivo.vscode-circuitpython\bundle\20240130\adafruit-circuitpython-bundle-20240130.json'
I resolved this by deleting the bundle folder (c:\Users\Quinn\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\globalStorage\joedevivo.vscode-circuitpython\bundle\20240130) and reloading vs code. The new bundle was downloaded again and the error message went away.

---

I got another message after that...
2024-02-02 21:11:09.307 [error] TypeError: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received null
I resolved this one by following @cshields advice and added my board path (c:\Users\Quinn\.vscode\extensions\joedevivo.vscode-circuitpython-0.2.0-win32-x64\boards\0x239A\0x80CA) to the settings.json

Everything is working for me now. Hope this helps.

I had the same issue. Following steps above by @Quinnsicle resolved it although it doesn't list my board in board selection. Looks like the older metadata (updated 11 months back) didn't have my board listed.
