IntelliSense errors with std::vector on arduino-pico core 6.3.0

Hello (:

I am using the arduino-pico core 6.3.0.
I am able to compile and upload my program, but I get IntelliSense errors (see screenshot). The board properties output from compiling is attached too.
Can you have a look what the problem is, please?

Best regards
Sam Halvoe

I have updated my Visual Micro to latest release (2026.708.2207).
I run clean solution, rescan toolchain and build my program, but
the IntelliSense error persists.
The new board properties output from the build is attached.

I saw this post:

26.0708.12 - Visual Studio 2022+

    Intellisense improvements inc. better c++ lang ver detection

Should I update to this version and try my use case again?

No it doesn't resolve this. we have a fix being tested at the moment. it's a wider intellisense fix. should be available over the next 24/48. we will update this thread when it is available.

With the latest version (26.0708.14) I got this messages in output "Solution" when I open my solution:

^^I'm not sure if this is a problem with Visual Studio or Visual Micro, but report it just in case (and have attached my build output with build properties).

I tested IntelliSense with the Arduino Pico core version 6.3.1 with...
Code (C++)
Select All
std::vector<int> a;
std::variant<bool, int, Position> b;

...std::vector and std::variant are now recognized by IntelliSense.
Thank you very much Smiley

.15 is the LATEST. Resolves the debug start launch of gdb.

It would be useful to switch on that environment variables in your design time intellisense warning report. Let's see what that is if possible. thanks

and attach or email the Printer.vcxproj

I attached "Micro3dPrinter.vcxproj". (There is no "Printer.vcxproj" from the previous messages in my filesystem.) I attached the log files as zip archive.
If you need anything else to find the cause of the problem, let me know.

P.S.: I used the version 26.0708.14 of Visual Micro at the time this was written. Now I will install version 26.0708.15 of Visual Micro... (:

Thanks, that "Designtime build failed for project" error was part of the new intellisense failing for the hardware you were using. Resolved in the .16 latest.

I have installed the latest version of Visual Micro (26.0708.19).
There are fewer messages in the output "Solution" now:
Code
Select All
error : Designtime build failed for project Printer.vcxproj' configuration 'Release|x64'. IntelliSense might be unavailable.
	Check *.designtime.log files in your %TEMP% directory.
error : Designtime build failed for project Printer.vcxproj' configuration 'Release|x64'. IntelliSense might be unavailable.
	Check *.designtime.log files in your %TEMP% directory.


I attached the log files and "Micro3dPrinter.vcxproj".

Thanks very much for the great detail and effort as usual. It's possible those few errors were carry over from last weeks intellisense v2 version, the log shows the project was auto updated to the new v3 intellisense without errors. If you save and close the project and reopen vs do you still see designtime build messages?

You're welcome. Looks like you're right. I saved my project, closed Visual Studio and opened Visual Studio and my project again. No more Designtime errors or messages in the output!  Cool
