After library update, deep search can't find includes.

Hi.
I updated rp2040 library from 4.0.1 to 4.1.1 today, and after that it can't find lwIP libs.  Huh

Arduino 2.0 IDE can compile and upload the code, but not VC with VM. Wierd. 
I have reinstalled VM for VC-2017, restarted everything, rescanned all I can. 

I also have another anomaly: in the "Add Library"-menu, only one drop list is filled with selectables, "Current-platform" and "All-Built-In" are empty.
I also have problems to update libraries in VM, I have to use Arduino IDE to do that. 
Have anyone a clue to what has happend?

Thanks for the report.

Can you run Build > Clean Solution.

Then please attach the complete build output with the vMicro > Compiler > Show Build Properties, and vMicro > Compiler > Verbose both enabled?

If you have a simple code example which replicates the issue please also post this so we can investigate more quickly.

I have been trying to find this issue, It seems to find multiple definitions:
First Error from latest build: "Ethernet_Generic.hpp: 163:6: error: multiple definition of 'enum EthernetLinkStatus
   163 | enum EthernetLinkStatus"
This is library code: Ethernet_Generic.hpp

This morning I tried to get a more clean installation, but directories with libraries are not removed when uninstalled using VM Explorer, so I need to remove them manually for the Compiler to NOT find them. 
Arduino 2.0 seems to have a problem, and Arduino 1.8x can't remove libraries at all.
I'm starting to get a sense that all this makes a hugh mess of libraries uninstalled and libraries installed.
The Compiler also seems to search for libraries that I have not in my code, so is that the reason for the multiple definitions?  Embarrassed

Apparently my folder "C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\arduino15\libraries" was empty of standard libraries followed by the Adruino IDE.
This made the system angry.
This path has been an unfortunate thing after the 1.5 change, I think all libraries should be in one place only, I have 3 folders of libraries, and I think that's not good. Undecided

So now it seems to complile again.
Doing further testing.

This is the location that can be used by the Arduino 2.x IDE to install the basic libraries (which used to be included within the 1.x IDE automatically).  These can still be installed if needed from the Micro Explorer > Library Manager,  by searching for "Arduino_BuiltIn".

From your logs it appears as though you had (and possibly still have) your board packages being installed beneath the Sketchbook\Libraries folder, which will potentially create a lot of confusion.

Can you attach a screenshot of the vMicro > General > IDE Locations Screen with the Arduino 2x configuration selected?

Also if possible please attach the arduino-cli.yaml file from C:\Users\YourUserName\.arduinoIDE folder?

Sorry that the window can't be made larger so the complete path can be seen.

Thanks for the YAML and the screenshot, it seems the path we see repeatedly in previous logs isn't set there oddly.

Do you have any other IDE configurations set in Visual Micro (e.g. Arduino 1.6/1.8), especially the "Optional Physical Folder for Downloaded Board Packages" option?

One other option would be an Environment Variable for "ARDUINO_DIRECTORIES_DATA"?

I have no ARDUINO_DIRECTORIES_DATA set in my variables.
But it's a very interesting info you mentioned that the sketches are placed wrong..
I use: "C:\Users\USER\OneDrive - COMPANY\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects" as sketch directory.
Maybe we should consider moving our code to a "better" place? Smiley

Thanks for confirming.

Its not the project files which could be part of the problem, it is where the board package is being detected as installed.

You have the OneDrive\Arduino\Libraries folder as normal, however in the logs there is a packages folder within libraries with the RP2040 boards installed.  This is unusual and could be part of the issue.

The Arduino IDE won't be using that location, so it feels right to clean up so they both use the same locations.

If you close all Visual Micro and Arduino IDE's, and then delete the Packages folder from OneDrive\Arduino\Libraries\Packages folder, it should help clear things down and avoid any potential confusion.

I did as your recommendation, and all packages are installed on the same level as libraries. This was very good info.
Thanks for your time and professonialism, all compiles now. Cool Cool Cool Smiley Smiley
