I came into this with half as much knowledge as I should have had, but I’m pretty quick.
I thought PlatforrmIO used an online database of libraries, and that’s why it was so frustrating- there was no way to get my libraries into the system.
I included my libraries folder in the .ini file, trying to get my libraries recognized. I added libraries as lib_dep.
Now, all of my libraries are in the PlatformIO /lib folder, and PlatformIO still fails to recognize them.
What is it that you engineer-typists don’t tell people? I should have seen everything obvious by now.
I mean, ‘Arduino.h’ has to be one of the most commonly used libraries, and PlatformIO won’t use it?
I’m looking at something and I know it’s not what I’m seeing. What the heck?
1- Of course it doesn’t compile. These are the errors:

2- Have you rebuilt the IntelliSense Index?
I don’t know what that is, but it sounds like something I should understand.
INI below. I no longer add the ‘extra dirs’ line. I’m adding new libraries to the PlatformIO /lib in Users.
; PlatformIO Project Configuration File
;
; Build options: build flags, source filter
; Upload options: custom upload port, speed and extra flags
; Library options: dependencies, extra library storages
; Advanced options: extra scripting
;
; Please visit documentation for the other options and examples
; https://docs.platformio.org/page/projectconf.html
[env:esp32doit-devkit-v1]
platform = espressif32
board = esp32doit-devkit-v1
framework = arduino
lib_extra_dirs = ${sysenv.HOMEDRIVE}${sysenv.HOMEPATH}\Documents\libraries
Please remove this C:/Users/joema/.platformio/lib/Arduino/ folder. It seems to contain… HTML content? o_O
Also the first post I posted contained a blue link which shows you where the button is in VSCode for the IntelliSense rebuild. But the real problem is as described in the problem above
Crazy. Did I get the whole page instead of the .h file??
I don’t think this is a system issue as much as I think you need to spend some more time learning how C/C++ works. You are linking HTML in it appears, which is bound to break. Please don’t come in angry at the framework when you acknowledge that you have a knowledge gap. The team here has done a wonderful job especially considering it is free. We are happy to help but please be mindful of the community and where you are approaching it from.
