I've recently freshly installed Ubuntu 20.04, and VSCode, meant for c++. I added the C/C++, CMake and CMake Tools extensions. Then I cloned one of my old github repos for testing and tried to Cmake:configure from the command pallete, but I got this error.


Bad CMake executable "/snap/bin/cmake". Is it installed or settings contain the correct path (cmake.cmakePath)?

I've looked through the CMake tools extension github repo for answers, and it appears to be some kind of an issue regarding snaps? I'm not that sure what exactly they're talking about, but I got that its a bug in CMake Tools, however I didnt find a solution for this. Can anyone help me out?

and install deb-packaged version by

sudo apt-add-repository universe

sudo apt-get install cmake-extras

and then restart VSCode.
