Hi

We are looking at the new release(s) of the ArduinoJson which does cause a lot of intellisense issues. Older versions of the same library are a lot better but not perfect.

The StreamingLib sounds interesting we will look at that.

The automatic creation of prototypes is currently moving to the same sytem the arduino ide uses. Currently you can enable prototype generation in the Project Properties (F4) which would have then added them for you, however the placement of them will improve further with ctags.

I don't understand this part of your report except to say that windows store app is not supported due to the permissions problems that it brings. Please always install the standard exe arduino ide version or zip from arduino.cc downloads page. If you click the "Download IDE" button on the Visual Micro IDE Locations dialog that takes you to the correct downloads.

I have no idea why you would need to find the toolspaths but I suspect this confusion is due to using th windows store version. In normal use all paths will be found without your having to change anything.

I need to see your build output as requested in the yellow box above. In my test with the ArduinoJSON library and Streaming everything is okay. I see there is another library of the same name called ArduinoJson which is the one that gives intellisense errors in our earlier tests.

The ArduinoJSON library is by Arduino

With the following code on an esp32, the "endl" issue does not appear.

I suggest delete myDocuments\Arduino\Libraries\ArduinoJson and install the ArduinoJSON library.

#include <Arduino_JSON.h>
#include <Streaming.h>


const long BAUD = 115200;

const int lettera = 'A';
const int month = 4, day = 17, year = 2009;

const long LOOP_DELAY = 1000;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(BAUD);
}

void loop()
{
  Serial << "This is an example of the new streaming" << endl;
  Serial << "library.  This allows you to print variables" << endl;
  Serial << "and strings without having to type line after" << endl;
  Serial << "line of Serial.print() calls.  Examples: " << endl;

  Serial << "A is " << lettera << "." << endl;
  Serial << "The current date is " << day << "-" << month << "-" << year << "." << endl;

  Serial << "You can use modifiers too, for example:" << endl;
  Serial << _BYTE(lettera) << " is " << _HEX(lettera) << " in hex. " << endl;
  Serial << endl;

  delay(LOOP_DELAY);
}

I will strip-down my project and send you a copy with screenshots, this could take an hour ...

Ok, they just released 1.8.12 a few minutes ago
Busy setting up everything, one thing I just realized ...

I have two "Documents" Folders. OneDrive linked the System Folder to its Documents and I have another one below my User. Both had Arduino-Files in them.

I cannot redirect the "Documents" to the subfolder of my User. I will continue anyway and create a new ArduinoProject instead of opening one from my harddrive.

Thanks, yes it looks brilliant. We will try t resolve those intellisense errors in the next release.

Thanks for the info. With STM32 the AruinoJson shows 300+ errors so Esp doesn't suffer so much. In any event we will be looking at solutions.
