Intellisense does not seem to be working as expected

I'm having trouble getting visual micro going and would like to post on your forum.

In case you've got a quick answer, my basic issue is that intellisense does not appear to be fully working.  For instance, the following are not recognized:

- Serial.begin(SERIAL_COM_SPEED);  (serial is not undefined)
- initOutput(); (this is a method in another sketch which is part of the same project.  Dbl clicking on it actually finds it)
- int16_t  (says it's undefined)

Thanks!

thanks for adding the forum message. let's move from email to this thread. your email response is below.

questions...
which version of arduino have you installed?
does the sketch compile in arduino? if so please email your sketch to info at visualmicro.com. Thanks




Quote:
With 'Uno' selected, a cntrl J does not include Serial - or any library methods as far as I can tell.  It does include parsed variables and methods from the current sketch.

To answer your question, f5 does start a compile.  The output follows:

'Compiling 'ROV_IMU' for 'Arduino Uno'
ROV_IMU.pde : expected unqualified-id before 'else'

udpserver.pde : 'UDP_TX_PACKET_MAX_SIZE' was not declared in this scope
 
ROV_IMU.pde : In function 'void initRC()'

: The Udp class has been renamed EthernetUdp.

ROV_IMU.pde : In function 'void computeRC()'

: The Udp class has been renamed EthernetUdp.
 
udpserver.pde : 'packetBuffer' was not declared in this scope

udpserver.pde : 'UDP_TX_PACKET_MAX_SIZE' was not declared in this scope

Error compiling'

I am using arduino verison 1.0.  Yes, the sketch does compile as expected using the arduino ide.

Am emailing a sample sketch now.  Please note however, that this behavior is not limited to one sketch.  It appears to happen on all.

Thanks!

can you see a list of boards in a drop down on the tool bar?

Yes, both drop downs appear to be fully populated.

Understood - does this mean you don't have any suggestions for me where to look?  For what it's worth, it's strange to me as well.

Thanks,

No we will find the answer I was just letting you know that it is working for myself and others so not to give up. 

The answer might be in the vsarduino.h but I haven't had a chance to look at yours yet. Will do asap

I guess you are saying you get the same problem if you open the blink example?

Correct, "blink" does not work either.  In this case, pinMode, digitalWrite, and delay are not found.

Not sure if it's relevant or not, but I'm also still getting the pop-up error every VS startup stating that VisualMicro has failed to create command bar items. (parameter is incorrect)

To reiterate though, I have both tool bar options and they both appear to be operating correctly.  Also, intellisense does contain info (only) from the file open in the editor.

This "feels" to me like a setup and/or prereq issue.  Are there VS requirements that I may not have installed?

Cheers!

yes the intelliense won't work with that error. I've looked in your zip but it's just a bit of source, I should have asked for a zip of a project folder after opening in vs. such as blink.

I am guessing from your startup error that the arduino files are not being automatically mapped into the vsarduino.h file that is automatically added by vm to your visual studio arduino projects. That will prevent intellisense from knowing about your boards and a lot of other stuff.

The startup error is probably some svn or other non arduino files/folders below one or more of yours library folders. These types of source control files/folders cause problems for vm in the current version but will be fixed in the next version. You can just remove them.

If you are unsure then please switch on the "Trace" in the visual micro options. Startup vs and then send the trace text file that appears where you installed the vm dlls. Send me the trace and we can see where it fails.

If you don't know where you installed vm (default program files/visual micro..) then look in Visual Studio options Macro Security. You will see the install path in the macro/addins search paths list.

Solved!

Thanks, it did indeed turn out to be svn files in my library path.  I removed those, and things appear to be working as designed.

Nice product by the way - impressive.  (and good support too)

Cheers!
