Sketch compiles in Arduino, but not Visual Micro

I'm trying to compile Sonoff-Tasmota 6.1.1b (https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/archive/development.zip) in Visual Micro (18.07.8.0), but I keep getting errors.  The same sketch compiles without error with Arduino IDE 1.8.5. Also older versions of Sonoff-Tasmota 5.x compile just fine under Visual Micro. 

Compiling 'sonoff' for 'Generic ESP8266 Module' 
  
sonoff.ino: 170:1: error: expected unqualified-id before 'else 
   uint8_t multipress[MAX_KEYS] = { 0 };       \\ Number of button presses within multiwindow 
  
sonoff.ino: 171:1: error: expected unqualified-id before 'else 
   uint8_t lastwallswitch[MAX_SWITCHES];       \\ Last wall switch states 
  
sonoff.ino: 420:1: error: expected unqualified-id before 'else 
  
sonoff.ino: 435:1: error: expected unqualified-id before 'else 
   fallback_topic_flag = (strstr(topicBuf, mqtt_client) != NULL) 
  
sonoff.ino: 596:1: error: expected unqualified-id before 'else 
   * 3 = Set relays to last saved state after power on 
  
sonoff.ino: 791:1: error: expected unqualified-id before 'else 
   snprintf_P(stemp1, sizeof(stemp1), kModules[i].name) 
Error compiling project sources 
Build failed for project 'sonoff'


Any suggestions?

Thanks for the report.

There are a few issues.

1) Takes a long time to open large projects for the first time (fixed in next release)

2) The sonoff project replies heavily on a new function in arduino to auto generated prototypes in .ino files. This is due to be implemented in visual micro over the next few weeks.

3) The older system to determine prototypes is getting confused on 6 lines of .ino code and adding incorrect protoypes causing the strange error messages. This will be resolved by implementing 2) above


In the meantime there is an option in the arduino ide "file>preferences>external editor" which enables the project to be open in both visual micro and arduino at the same time. When you click build in arduino it will re-read any changes you have made (and saved) in vs.

Thanks again, it's an impressive project!

Thanks for looking into this so quickly.  I'll give the work around a shot.
