I still have problems with the autocomplete function.
It works very good on new projects, but using my older projects, 
I need to refresh the autocomplete over and over again.
The attached file is my log file (refresh data).

Thanks for the report.

Do your older problematic projects show (Arduino) after the project name in the solution explorer?

If not they can be converted as shown on the page below:

Yes, (Arduino) is set in the Solution explorer, I did convert the project before (a few month ago).

Thanks, can you confirm how you are refreshing the Auto Complete?

Also can you attach the build log with the settings enabled as shown at the top of the page for us to review?

Thanks for the log.

Just to be clear, are you clicking the Show/Hide Hidden Files button twice to Hide, then show the files again?

Did you intend to add all Libraries as Cloned Shared Projects to the solution, or did this happen by clicking the Show/Hide Hidden Files button the first time around can you recall?
(I believe it is a deliberate decision as Deep Search has been disabled, but wanted to be sure)

I always click Show/Hide Hidden Files once , then autocomplete works again.

My project started when I started to use Visual Micro, that time I didn't use
"ADD LIBRARY" because not all the libraries where found that time.

Later on I added some libraries using "Library advanced" settings.
I did not really looked into it and how it works, 
everything worked fine for me as it was, 
but after the new autocomplete function I got problems.

Maybe I need to reorder my project ?

I don't use deep search...

Can you try clicking Show/Hide Hidden Files once (which should hide them, the Project/src/_micro-api-readonly files should vanish from the solution explorer tree.

Then close VS completely, and delete the .vs folder from your solution folder.

Then when it re-opens, does the intellisense work correctly again?

Note: The Show/Hide Hidden files button toggles the functionality on and off, so clicking it once each time will either enable or disable it.

Yes, it did.

I delete the .vs directory, and this message came after restarting VS: [image]
 
After an other restart, again no autocomplete.

Thanks for the image.

If you click the Show/Hide Hidden files again now, does the intellisense work?

Note: the _vmicro-api shortcuts should be visible after clicking it this time in the solution explorer.

On Show/Hide Hidden "click" it works again.

But I discovered that after compile I lost autocomplete again,
 
"Click" Show/Hide Hidden and it works again.

I started a new project also, and everything works fine there..

I still works on my older projects, 
so it would be nice not to click a hundred times on that button.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the update.

On the newer projects I suspect they don't have all of the libraries involved, and possibly they are not all added as Cloned Shared Projects either.

Is it possible to send the whole broken project as a ZIP file?

Alternatively it may be as simple to create a new project and add your INO code and libraries fresh, and then see where the issue comes in.  If you need the libraries to be captured with the project for source control/portability, the special folders detailed on the below page could work better, and more simply:

I will transfer my old project to a new one,
and see what's happens then.
Thank you for your support Simon...
