Intellisense partially working on VS2015

I know this is the most asked question, but I can't find an answer. I found this here:

Quote:
"Important: Intellisense does NOT use the deep search facility. ALL libraries that are used by the .ino or .cpp code must be #included in the project_name.ino

Viual Micro uses the older regex system to determine includes for intellisense purposes. This is because it can take many seconds to scan library sources which would disrupt the Ide during code writing.

Hopefully as the next few months progress we manage to optimize and add intelligence to the "deep scan" enabling its use for intellisense.

In the meantime, if intellisense is not discovering libraries, please #include any required libraries directly into the project_name.ino code. (Then click Save or Build to force an intellisense refresh)


I have a half-dozen #includes in this project, and I'm getting Intellisense from one of them. There are three others where the classes are right there in the #included header file and shouldn't require deep scan, but Intellisense doesn't work for them.

The frustrating thing is that it used to work before I did a little housekeeping in the include directory. Now only the one file works.

Is there a way to completely wipe away any Intellisense cache and have it try again?

Hi,

Library locations differ per board so it;s difficult to know what the issue is.

You can zip and email your project if you want and then tell me which #includes were not being found.

Email to info[at]visualmicro.com along with a link to this post

Thanks

I just discovered that if I change the solution configuration to Debug, the symbols show up and all Intellisense works. But I'd rather build for release. When I set it back to Release, Intellisense goes away again.

So you build for release and it doesn't update intellisense after build?

As long as the solution configuration is set to Debug, Intellisense works, built or not. As soon as I change it to Release, everything gets underlined red again.

After you change to release and click build is it then correct?

No. Building the project doesn't change the state of the Intellisense. Merely selecting Debug from the configuration menu turns on Intellisense. Changing it to Release breaks it. Building has no effect.

I looked into this and had no problem in release/debug or any configuration. I also noted that there was no need to compile for intellisense to work. Compiling was only required to discover intellisense for libraries used by related libraries that are not #included in the .ino code.

It seems like you have entered the text "Debug" into the "Release Configuration" property in "Tools>Options>Visual Micro". Can you confirm that the option is empty and then try switching to Release mode again?

I also looked in the .vcxproj file you sent (which is just text/xml) and could see the Release section has not been updated recently. It should be automatically updated unless the "Release Configuration" has been specified.

Thanks

Nothing in the properties for Debug or Release.

And I'm not sure what you mean by "the Release section has not been updated recently.". How can you tell? The file is current. Is there something I can do to force an update of this file?

Thanks for the report and sorry it took so long to fix.

I found the issue it related to an invalid path in the vcxproj intellisense paths list. 

The latest release resolved the issue, you can download it here otherwise it will be in the gallery within a day or two.

download
