'Yeoman for VS Code extension says: Trying to copy from a source that does not exist

I am trying to kickstart a simple VS Code extension using Yeoman, on Windows 10 Pro.

I am facing the same kind of problem that is described here "Error code Trying to copy from a source that does not exist", however, my configuration is totally different (everything portable) and I suspect that even though the symptoms are the same, my problem has a completely different origin.

I am launching my Yeoman command from Cmder, which is a portable console emulator (https://cmder.net/) that already comes with Git in it.

In Cmder I first installed Yeoman and the VS Code Extension Generator, and this is what I got:

D:\Progs\Cmder (portable)
λ npm install -g yo generator-code
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: this library is no longer supported
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Please upgrade  to version 7 or higher.  Older versions may use Math.random() in certain circumstances, which is known to be problematic.  See https://v8.dev/blog/math-random for details.

Then I tried to create my project with Yeoman, and this is what I got:

D:\Progs\VS Code (portable)\data\extensions

? What type of extension do you want to create? New Extension (JavaScript)
? What's the name of your extension? axel.generique
? What's the identifier of your extension? axel-generique
? What's the description of your extension?
? Enable JavaScript type checking in 'jsconfig.json'? No
? Initialize a git repository? No
? Which package manager to use? npm

Writing in D:\Progs\VS Code (portable)\data\extensions\axel-generique...
Error code

Trying to copy from a source that does not exist: D:\Progs\Node.js (portable)\node_modules\generator-code\generators\app\templates\ext-command-js\vscode

It is probably important to mention that I am using a portable version of Node.js (and npm), located in "D:\Progs\Node.js (portable)", and of course I added this directory to my Path environment variable.

Thank you.

Solution 1:[1]

You should basically never use directory properties, ever.

For whichever targets cannot compile without the flag, you can add it like so:

target_compile_options(
  my_target
  PRIVATE 
  "$<$<CXX_COMPILER_ID:GHS>:--saferc=none>"
  "$<$<C_COMPILER_ID:GHS>:--saferc=none>"
)

My understanding is that --saferc=none is a Green Hills flag, hence the check for $<CXX_COMPILER_ID:GHS>. If you are only using one of C or C++, you can delete the flag for the other language.
