Intellisense and Library Defines

PlatformIO IDE
1

In my library.json file, I have -DESP_IDF. Shouldn’t IntelliSense pick this up?

What’s the exact file content?

Hmmm c_cpp_properties only has this

“defines”: [
“WITH_POSIX”,
“UNITY_INCLUDE_CONFIG_H”,
“IDF_VER="3.30300.190916"”,
“PLATFORMIO=40202”,
“ARDUINO_ESP32_DEV”,
“ESP32”,
“ESP_PLATFORM”,
“F_CPU=240000000L”,
“HAVE_CONFIG_H”,
“MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE="mbedtls/esp_config.h"”,
“GCC_NOT_5_2_0=0”,
“PROJECT_NAME="esp-idf"”,
“PROJECT_VER="1.0.0"”,
“”

So it’s not picking up the defines in the library.json file…

These are special build settings for a single library. PlatformIO can handle it and your code should build successfully.

But Visual Studio Code’s IntelliSense uses the project build settings for all the code.
