"Add new Arduino Library Project" adds wrong path to ClInclude property in .vcxitems file

It looks like Visual Studio 2019 is creating the wrong path for the header file (ClInclude property in .vcxitems file) when creating a library. Are we doing something wrong or is this a bug? Thank you.


Reproduce:

1) Create new simple library project

File -> New -> Project... -> Arduino Library Project

with header and cpp file both automatically in src\ folder.

2) .vcxitems file after creating library (note the commented line and the missing "src\" in the ClInclude Include path!) :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">

...

<ItemGroup>
  <Text Include="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)readme.txt" />
  <Text Include="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)library.properties" />
  <Text Include="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)src\NewLibrary.h" />
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup>
  <!-- <ClInclude Include="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)NewLibrary.h" /> -->
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup>
  <ClCompile Include="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)src\NewLibrary.cpp" />
</ItemGroup>
</Project>

Is the newLibrary.h in the \src folder?

Maybe that is a bug in our new library project template or a bug in VS. If you right click > exclude the NewLibrary.h and then re-include for the correct location does this fix the issue?

After you have a shared project created, there isn't any magic code behind the scenes. You have full control to ensure the correct paths. Obvioulsly keen to understand where the NewLibrary.h actually is and if you added it yourself (or not)?

We did not add NewLibrary.h ourselves. This was done using the template.

NewLibrary.h was in folder src\

after excluding and re-including the path was fixed and correct. So I think this is a bug then.

By the way as written above we created NOT a "Shared Code Project" but a "Arduino Library Project"

Okay good to hear it's fixed. I am having problems replicating the issue. Creating a new Library project gives a LibName.cpp and LibName.h in the src folder. Closing and reopening the solution shows all okay.

If you manage to replicate then please let us know.

One thing to be aware of is that if windows explore is used to move a file then the project will be out of sync and you would have to exclude/include as you did to fix the issue.

Sorry can't be more help. Thanks again.

It is not fixed. I think there is a bug. I don't know about the implications though. Please read again the first post of this topic to understand how it can be reproduced. Your .vcxitems file of the project should show the wrong content.

Hi

I meant that it is good to hear you fixed it by moving the file around in the solution explorer. That's easy to do.

I tried it and it created the this:-
"Creating a new Library project gives a LibName.cpp and LibName.h in the src folder. Closing and reopening the solution shows all okay"

Can you please create a new library and then close the solution, zip and attach the vcxitems.

Thanks

Created using Visual Studio 2019 (16.6.2) and Visual Micro (20.6.18.1). Arduino is 1.8.3

Thanks, I think it is a vs bug. You can see the new library project template and experiment with it as follows:-

Scroll to the bottom of vMicro>General>Global Options and see the "Assembly Path". Below that path is a folder called "ProjectTemplates". Below that folder is the "visualmicro_libraryproject" folder.

The .vcxitems and .vcxtemplate files use standard vs template syntax. Any changes you make should apply immediately but certainly after vs re-start. Notice that both the .cpp and the .h are specified with src folder in the same way.

Vs is responsible for running the new project template wizard and processing the results. Look forward to hearing what you uncover.

Thanks
