@Ph38240, to just build the app you need to change and to select the app .adef file in the .xdef menu (bottom blue bar), as is explained here: [vsCode .xdef menu - Legato Docs](https://docs.legato.io/latest/tools_vsCodeDefinition.html) ---

@Ph38240, To well understand, the build action worked well, but you get just this error message, right? I think it will disappear by relaunching vscode. About the legato: hierarchy view, I agree it doesn’t work well for the moment, what you want to do with legato: hierarchy view you can do it with workspace explorer section. ---

Yes, I know how to do it … don’t know what is the cause of this message… but at least you are able to build successfully … so you are not blocked ---

Just started running into the same issue: legato: hierarchy view completely empty. Worked fine yesterday at the end of the day when I shut it down → today it is completely empty! Been running through every element of the settings and config and all appears to be in order. Thoughts? ---

The root cause being an issue in either the sdef, or adef, or even file structure. The parsing is so strict that any error or misconfiguration prevents the view from loading. If the view is already loaded, it will show statically until the next time it is reloaded (most likely when vscode is reopened). We will bring up this and other high priority bugs to see if we can plan for a release… ---

@mehdiALL1 Appreciate the update. Can you list any of the “syntax” or “structural” items that you’ve identified to date that result in View loading failure? Is it a true statement that removal of the culprit App will re-enable the View to load? Thanks [Next page](https://forum.legato.io/t/legot-build-the-task-provider-for/5293.md?page=2)
