Compile fails with ESP8266WebServer.h in a cpp file

I'm also using 1.6.4 and the latest version of Visual Micro. I ran into a related issue with #include <ESP8266WebServer.h> that has me very perplexed. Using this include in the .ino file works without problems. For me it doesn't break Intellisense.

However, when I use the include in a .cpp file (which is under the Source Files filter), I get this error message in the Output window:

fatal error: ESP8266WebServer.h: No such file or directory

I can use other includes, such as <ESP8266WiFi.h> without problems. It's only ESP8266WebServer.h that is causing problems. Any ideas?

This is using version 1.6.4-673-g8cd3697 of the esp8266 package.

Hi,

You need to include the esp8266wifi.h and the webserver in the sketchname.ino

Then you can use them in cpp files.

The webserver uses these includes

#include <Arduino.h>
#include "WiFiServer.h"
#include "WiFiClient.h"
#include "ESP8266WebServer.h"

Ah, I get it now. I didn't realize I needed to add the include into the .ino before I had to add it into the .cpp file. It works now. Thanks!
