Press C twice. Press G to generate.

Code Snippet Add the code snippet that causes the issue.

Expected behavior

VSCode CMake extension defaults to Ninja in latest builds (at least for me). I expect VSCode + CMake extension to work without many alterations.

This is due to Ninja version 1.10 Using Ninja version 1.8.2, the issue is just a warning but there's no error. Here's the 1.8.2 Ninja install link: https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases/tag/v1.8.2

Quick workaround for now is to downgrade from version 1.10 to 1.8

On ubuntu 18, version 1.8 comes out of the box. (apt-get). So no issue here. On ubuntu 20, version 1.10 comes out of the box (apt-get). Workaround is to downgrade version to 1.8

I will leave issue open to fix for ubuntu 20 with ninja version 1.10

I've downgraded to 1.8.2 and that solved my issue! Thanks @vhvb1989 !
