SDK location was not specified. Please set PICO_SDK_PATH or set PICO_SDK_FETCH_FROM_GIT to on to fetch from git."

I have followed numerous tutorials to set up the SDK and keep getting the following error from Vcode:

"SDK location was not specified. Please set PICO_SDK_PATH or set PICO_SDK_FETCH_FROM_GIT to on to fetch from git."

I have done BOTH of these things:

1) Add "export PICO_SDK_PATH="$HOME/git/pico-sdk" to my .bash_profile file

2) Go to Cmake Tools configuration and add PICO_SDK_PATH Environment Variable under "Build ENvironment" in Vcode

And still get this error.

What am I doing wrong here? SDK is definitely present in the folder above (HOME/git/pico-sdk")

Hi! Same problem here, did you find a solution?

I managed to overcome this problem by setting an environment variable through cmake tools in vscode:
