The build configurations generated do not contain the active build configuration. Using 'DEBUG' for CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE instead of 'Debug' to ensure that IntelliSense configurations can be found.

@XuPengfei-1020 I tried this issue as you described and got the following results:

Set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE (Debug)

Set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE (DEBUG)

Is that the question you're trying to get across?

It seemd that the history issue about this problem was arbitrary closed but without any fixed.
Please tell us the reason of this bug, and how to avoid it.

@XuPengfei-1020 I'm sorry, I don't fully understand your issue. Are you saying that you're expecting 'null' in the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to work? What issue are you referencing that was closed?

Some more information about the issue you are facing is required in order for us to help out, looking forward to helping you! Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.

The error msg is 'Debug' instead of 'DEBUG' OR 'Release' instead of 'RELEASE', dependent on what cmake target I set in the cmake-took config.

I changed the cmake command by replace '-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug' with '-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=DEBUG', ran it by hand, the error msg was not appreence any more.

It seems like the DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE(Debug, Release) in cmake command that cmake-tools assemble is not match the target definition in CMAKELISTS.txt(DEBUG,RELEASE).

@v-frankwang
Yes, that is.
The DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE in cmake-tools configuration can only be 'Debug' or 'Release', user need to choose a build_type from the preseted DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE options but can not set a custom DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE value, It caused the issue that DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE in build command does not match the build_types which are definated in the CMakeLists.txt.

@gcampbell-msft I reproduced the problem the user described, the exact steps are in my last comment, but I can't pinpoint exactly what's causing it, can you give me some advice?
