Creating New Library and use it in a shetch (Read 1409 times)

	I have created a library in my library folder. By creating new project at start up and then new library. Now I having an issue to imported in to a shetch. Why? Because microsoft create an additonal folder on top. This is where my library path looks like. G:\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Arduino\libraries\URLStreamSimple\URLStreamSimple\src\URLStreamSimple.h In the library.properties file I can add includes=URLStreamSimple\URLStreamSimple\src\URLStreamSimple.h But the properties file will never be find because the additional folder URLStreamSimple on top of the hierarchy where the .sln is located. How can I solve this?

	We never specify paths for Arduino library files. In your example you have an \src folder below your library. That means it is a version 2 arduino library. The \src folder is treated as the lib folder therefore you should keep things clean like this. Code includes=URLStreamSimple.h Note: The "includes" property only affects the "#includes" that are auto added to your code when selecting the library. In your example it is very simple. You do not need the includes= in the library.properties

	Ok, that I did, but I can't do this in my shetch #include "URLStreamSimple.h" URL-Player-Simple.ino: 20:10: fatal error: URLStreamSimple.h: No such file or directory And I can not add it from the vm menu -> add library because of that solution folder on top. Code #include <G:\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Arduino\libraries\URLStreamSimple\URLStreamSimple\src\URLStreamSimple.h> and this he will find, but then I get some building errors collect2.exe*: error: ld returned 1 exit status G:\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Arduino\libraries\URLStreamSimple>dir /s De volumenaam van station G is Downloads Het volumenummer is CE9D-0063 Map van G:\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Arduino\libraries\URLStreamSimple This is the complete list of my files 13/05/2022 11:17 <DIR> . 13/05/2022 11:17 <DIR> .. 13/05/2022 16:44 <DIR> URLStreamSimple 13/05/2022 11:17 589 URLStreamSimple.sln 1 bestand(en) 589 bytes Map van G:\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Arduino\libraries\URLStreamSimple\.vs 13/05/2022 11:17 <DIR> URLStreamSimple 0 bestand(en) 0 bytes Map van G:\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Arduino\libraries\URLStreamSimple\.vs\U RLStreamSimple 13/05/2022 11:17 <DIR> . 13/05/2022 11:17 <DIR> .. 13/05/2022 15:58 <DIR> v16 0 bestand(en) 0 bytes Map van G:\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Arduino\libraries\URLStreamSimple\.vs\U RLStreamSimple\v16 13/05/2022 15:58 <DIR> . 13/05/2022 15:58 <DIR> .. 13/05/2022 16:58 253.952 Browse.VC.db 13/05/2022 15:58 32.768 Browse.VC.db-shm 13/05/2022 16:58 0 Browse.VC.db-wal 13/05/2022 11:18 <DIR> ipch 3 bestand(en) 286.720 bytes Map van G:\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Arduino\libraries\URLStreamSimple\.vs\U RLStreamSimple\v16\ipch 13/05/2022 11:18 <DIR> . 13/05/2022 11:18 <DIR> .. 13/05/2022 11:20 <DIR> AutoPCH 0 bestand(en) 0 bytes Map van G:\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Arduino\libraries\URLStreamSimple\.vs\U RLStreamSimple\v16\ipch\AutoPCH 13/05/2022 11:20 <DIR> . 13/05/2022 11:20 <DIR> .. 13/05/2022 11:18 <DIR> aaf09fdbd659e6b3 13/05/2022 11:20 <DIR> fd3cfd0deea080f8 0 bestand(en) 0 bytes Map van G:\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Arduino\libraries\URLStreamSimple\.vs\U RLStreamSimple\v16\ipch\AutoPCH\aaf09fdbd659e6b3 13/05/2022 11:18 <DIR> . 13/05/2022 11:18 <DIR> .. 0 bestand(en) 0 bytes Map van G:\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Arduino\libraries\URLStreamSimple\.vs\U RLStreamSimple\v16\ipch\AutoPCH\fd3cfd0deea080f8 13/05/2022 11:20 <DIR> . 13/05/2022 11:20 <DIR> .. 0 bestand(en) 0 bytes Map van G:\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Arduino\libraries\URLStreamSimple\URLSt reamSimple 13/05/2022 16:44 <DIR> . 13/05/2022 16:44 <DIR> .. 13/05/2022 14:30 508 keywords.txt 13/05/2022 16:44 241 library.properties 13/05/2022 11:34 140 readme.txt 13/05/2022 17:10 <DIR> src 13/05/2022 11:22 1.302 URLStreamSimple.vcxitems 13/05/2022 11:22 1.207 URLStreamSimple.vcxitems.filters 5 bestand(en) 3.398 bytes Map van G:\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Arduino\libraries\URLStreamSimple\URLSt reamSimple\src 13/05/2022 17:10 <DIR> . 13/05/2022 17:10 <DIR> .. 13/05/2022 17:10 5.045 URLStreamSimple.cpp 13/05/2022 17:10 805 URLStreamSimple.h 2 bestand(en) 5.850 bytes Totaal aantal weergegeven bestanden: 11 bestand(en) 296.557 bytes 26 map(pen) 2.841.624.215.552 bytes beschikbaar

	You must not use paths when adding #includes for Arduino libraries. Let me explain the way Arduino works. I suggest we stick to standard Arduino and then when you understand how it works you might consider some more advanced Visual Micro features. For now this is Arduino. Standard Arduino User installed libraries will be located under the [SketchBook]/Libraries folder. The SketchBook folder is usually "Documents\Arduino". Therefore, you should create or move you library to "Documents\Arduino\Libraries\URLStreamSimple" If you have not altered the default then after you move your library to that location and click rescan or restart then your library will be used as follows:- Code #include <URLStreamSimple.h> note: You probably need to remove the library you have created from your solution and re-add it after you have copied it to the correct location. If you still have problems after that then please follow the guide in the yellow box above.

	So all my solution files have to end up in the same folder, that's what you are saying. I did that and it's working. Don't know it, if I create other library's in that folder...

	Hopefully you now understand how to use Arduino libraries in a way that is compatible with the Arduino IDE. This involves a folder for each library placed below your Arduino [sketchbook]/libraries folder. In Visual Micro you have more capability. You can create a library wherever you want BUT it will still be #included without path, the way I have shown you in this post. When you add a shared library (or shared code) project to the solution you also need to right click the "References" node below the Arduino project(s). Then click "Add Reference". On the "Add References" window there is a tab called "Shared Projects". That is where you add or remove references to your shared projects. Does this make sense?

	Yes it does. It is solved now! For more information how to include libraries into a cpp file: https://www.visualmicro.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1652515966/4#4 For not having the addition folder on top this is how it can be solve.

	Great we are working on improving the docs for advanced users. Will review.
