Intellisense errors with VS 16.8.2 / Vm 2020.09.10.08

Print Post  
After migration to VS 16.8.2 and using VM 2020.09.10.08 existing  projects now show a large number of intellisense errors.

for example:

Severity      Code      Description      Project      File      Line      Suppression State
Error (active)      E0169      expected a declaration      Sannox_TFTtest      C:\Repos\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest.ino      181      
Error (active)      E0020      identifier "millisDelay" is undefined      Sannox_TFTtest      C:\Repos\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest.ino      40      
Error (active)      E0020      identifier "millisDelay" is undefined      Sannox_TFTtest      C:\Repos\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest.ino      41      
Error (active)      E0020      identifier "millisDelay" is undefined      Sannox_TFTtest      C:\Repos\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest.ino      42      
Error (active)      E0020      identifier "DateTime" is undefined      Sannox_TFTtest      C:\Repos\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest.ino      49      
Error (active)      E0020      identifier "DateTime" is undefined      Sannox_TFTtest      C:\Repos\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest.ino      50      
Error (active)      E0020      identifier "RTC_DS3231" is undefined      Sannox_TFTtest      C:\Repos\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest.ino      56      
Error (active)      E0020      identifier "disponoff" is undefined      Sannox_TFTtest      C:\Repos\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest.ino      79      
Error (active)      E0020      identifier "swdisp" is undefined      Sannox_TFTtest      C:\Repos\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest.ino      80      
Error (active)      E0020      identifier "swmode" is undefined      Sannox_TFTtest      C:\Repos\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest\Sannox_TFTtest.ino      81

Code complies ok.

an further example

In the ino file the following is used (note: highlighted text shows where the intelliense errors occur:

     // use interrupts to handle button presses
     attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(WIO_KEY_C), disponoff, RISING);
     attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(WIO_5S_RIGHT), swdisp, RISING);
     attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(WIO_5S_LEFT), swmode, RISING);

Previous behavior would not throw these intellisense errors.

If the following function prototypes are added under the includes:

void disponoff();
void swdisp();
void swmode();

The intellisense errors no longer appear:

     // use interrupts to handle button presses
     attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(WIO_KEY_C), disponoff, RISING);
     attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(WIO_5S_RIGHT), swdisp, RISING);
     attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(WIO_5S_LEFT), swmode, RISING);

Thanks for the report and detail.

Can you confirm if updating to the latest release from the forum link below (20.09.10.16), resolves this issue?

Install fails with message: "Exception: This extension is not installable on any currently installed products." (see attached install log).

Note: dev has both VS2019 and Atmel Studio 7 installed but I predominantly use VS2019.

If I right click on the VSIX file only see  "Open With>Microsoft VSIX Installer" not  "Open With>Visual Studio Version Selector".

Any hints on the issue here.

some success:

The failure to install the 20.09.10.16 release was related to having Atmel Studio 7 installed as well. AS7 had not been updated for some time so it was removed the system rebooted. The VSIX installed ok. VS2019 reported the new version installed.

Checked the code and the same issues present.
Note: the solution/project is split into one ino file and two helpers disphelper cpp/h and nethelper cpp/h.

Some observations:

If a problematic library in the ino file was selected. In a test case millisdelay.h #include line was selected and "Go to document F12" clicked and the erros/highlights are removed. Again the same effect is shown selecting another library.

As soon as the solution is closed and reopened the issues reappear.

This approach does not appear to work on the other files in the solution/project.

Thanks for the update.

Can you confirm there is only one project in the solution?

If possible can you email the project to us, and we will be able to investigate further as we are having trouble replicating this at present.

A zip file with the project has been sent via email as requested. Some additional data:

  • tested with VS 16.8.3 and 2020.09.10.19. Same issue with the test project. Also unable to compile (see note below).
  • then created a new simple project and this displayed no intellisense errors. Did not compile having issues with finding the correct wire.h ansd spi.h. This ino file when opened in Arduiono 1.8.13 complies ok.

Apologies for the delay, would it be possible to send the email again as we don't appear to have received it?

Thanks for resending this.

There are some improvements in the latest release (21.01.06.3), available at the top of the board below:
https://www.visualmicro.com/forums/YaBB.pl?board=VS_ARDUINO_EXT_RELEASES

We will continue to update as further improvements are made to the intellisense for this package.

Initial (quick) testing with VM latest release (21.01.06.3) on VS 16.8.5 is much better. Seems to addressed most of the intellisense errors being reported. I have a couple of other things on at the moment but will test over the next week and update the thread.
