What happened?

Hello,
I am not able to compile the WLED project using Visual Studio Code. I followed this guide: https://kno.wled.ge/advanced/compiling-wled/

When I hit the build check button on the bottom PIO bar, only this line popps up in the search fild.

Nothing else happened. The Problems shows:

I did not change any thing else in the WLED project folder. Can you please help me what is wrong?

You should really be selecting which build env to use. Please also include a screenshot of what is shown when you select platformio on the right

When I hit the build check button still nothing happened.

When I click on build at the left side in the menue, then it starts to compile:

Is this behavior ok?
The Problem is, i do not know how to compile this way with custom build_flags.

That is a known issue with PIO since update sometime in late 2022.

OK thank you very much! What is the common solution for this problem.
Is there an work around or should I use the Build option from the left sided Menue bar instead in future?

@TPPTim you can either use the build options, or follow this proposal for directly selecting the buildenv:

Thank you very much! I have tried this, but I get an error that I cannot explain.

For this I created the platformio_override.ini in the main Folder and added some -D Pindefines:
