Teensy EEPROM intellisense error - "Input string was not in a correct format" (solved)

Like the title says, I'm trying to go from 1605.14.0 to 1605.28.0  and I get an error that says it was unable to install the extension to all the selected products because:
"Input string was not in a correct format"

I've attached the install log.  It seems like it's out of my hands, push another update soon?

Thanks!  Smiley

Hi,

This is a microsoft vsix installer error. The version string format has not altered and many others have installed with issue. So I am a bit confused.

Can you please give details of op sys ver and visual studio version. Also open visual studio help>about and give screen shot.

Thanks very much.

I was afraid of that when I couldn't find anyone else having the same problem.

I attached the visual studio help>about and the My Computer>Properties view.  (64 bit Win 7)

I'm trying to upgrade VisualMicro because I've been having issues with red underlines where they don't belong, despite compiling OK.  I expect this update to fix that, but I figured I should mention it

Also, I have tried running it as admin and downloading the installer from outside VS.  We get updates pushed from IT so I'm going around them and updating windows, I'll let you know if that works.

1) Can you give me some sample code that compiles but has red underlines?

2) If you create a new empty project and click "View>Errors List". How many errors show?

Thanks

Ok, I've done all that and attached two projects and some screenshots in a zip.
The empty project didn't have any errors.

When I have my include in the INO file then the #include part is ok but the object gets underlined

When I have an include in a .H file then both the #include and the object's use in the .CPP are underlined

I had deep search on.  If I turn it off it will no longer compile until I change the SPI include to #include <SPI\SPI.h>  Then all the SPI underlining disappears.  Changing the eeprom include to #include <EEPROM\EEPROM.h> removes the EEPROM underlining too, although it still isn't necessary for it to compile.

Thanks that's useful.

1)

I found an intellisense bug with the EEprom where the include paths are in the wrong order. In the case of teensy it has an eeprom.h in its core which is cancelling out the intellisense for the EEPROM library. Compile is OK.

Fixed in next release

2)

The SPI.h intellisense issue is because you have not #included the spi.h in the project_name.ino. This is what deep search does, it finds library #includes in cpp files and in other libraries. 

Recently arduino changed the way library paths can be discovered. In visual micro this is optional (because it's slow) and called "deep search includes".

Previously (or with deep search off) #includes had to be added into the project_name.ino. This is the fastest way for visual micro to determine which libraries are required.

However "deep search" is very slow so has not yet been implemented for intellisense, only for compile. This is because it needs some additional caching work to avoid long delays when editing code.

So simply add #include <spi.h> to the project_name.ino and intellisense will work for spi but also compile will work with "deep search" switched off.
