No definition found

dan21 · September 7, 2021, 6:18pm

W10 64, Core 5.2.0b1, Home 3.3.4
I have project with some libraries defined in platformio.ini via lib_deps.
I can build project and load it to the esp8266. It is working but I can’t use F12 on some libraries in the code. They are not highlighted as “known” library.
What is strange, that I have my own header file with some defined variables like #define LED_PIN 15.
This header is included in the main.cpp file but when I hit F12 (focus on LED_PIN) I get “No definition found for ‘LED_PIN’”. But as I mentioned I can compile it with no errors !!!

This project has located on my D drive (physical) in some directories. When I moved whole project to the c:\Users{user}\Documents\PlatformIO then everything work OK !!!.
I also checked c_cpp_properties.json and all paths are OK.
I did delete whole .pio folder to get fresh libraries, but did not help on D drive.
Can somebody tell what I’m missing here ?
Thank you in advance.
Dan

So, what’s the platformio.ini, code and definition you’re trying to follow?

dan21 · September 7, 2021, 6:37pm

I have to use D drive as development drive, so I can’t move projects.
What I’m missing is that I can’t get property, functions… for instances I’m creating in my code.
Strange thing is that some libraries are OK and some not, but I can compile code. I have to remember
properties I want to use and all parameters … it is not helping me.

maxgerhardt · September 7, 2021, 6:48pm

I didn’t ask you to move the project, I asked you to show the platformio.ini, code and the definition you’re trying to follow

dan21 · September 7, 2021, 6:57pm

platformio.ini

[env:Wire_HB3]
platform = espressif8266
board = nodemcuv2
framework = arduino
monitor_speed = 115200
board_build.f_cpu = 160000000L
upload_speed = 921600
lib_deps = 
  adafruit/Adafruit GFX Library@^1.10.5
  adafruit/Adafruit ST7735 and ST7789 Library@^1.6.0
  bblanchon/ArduinoJson@^6.18.3
  tzapu/WiFiManager @ ^0.16.0
  plerup/EspSoftwareSerial@^6.11.4

code

And I have already rebuild intellisense index many times

maxgerhardt · September 7, 2021, 7:04pm

Works for me.

Make sure you’ve switched to the correct project + environment using the project environment switcher
Build the project once to ensure all libraries are downloaded.
Issue a rebuild intellise command (Ctrl+Shift+P → Rebuild IntelliSense)
Make sure your code file is a .cpp file, not .ino.

It should look like

If that is not the case, you may have conflicting VSCode extensions installed.

dan21 · September 7, 2021, 7:10pm

Thank you for your answer.

Works for me on C drive too

I have only one project open and one project env
as I mentioned I deleted all .pio directory to get fresh libraries
I did it many times - not help
My file is main.cpp

Why is this working on C drive when I just copy whole project to the Documents\PlatformIO folder ?
Any PATH variable missing ?

maxgerhardt · September 7, 2021, 7:17pm

I removed the project from the VSCode workspace, moved it the D: drive, used the PIO Home → Open Project button to re-import it, then re-selected the Wire_HB3 environment in the project environment switcher, and I’m back to a working setup. Deleting the .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json and issuing a rebuild also correctly re-creates the file.

Can you show a complete screenshot of VScode and the contents of the c_cpp_properties.json?

dan21 · September 7, 2021, 7:27pm

I have deleted also c_cpp_properties.json file and again all files in .pio dir.
Now I’m getting this error (first time !!)

maxgerhardt · September 7, 2021, 7:30pm

Add adafruit/Adafruit BusIO @ ^1.9.1 to th lib_deps.

dan21 · September 7, 2021, 7:35pm

It helps to compile, link and build project with no errors. But the “No definition found” is still there

maxgerhardt · September 7, 2021, 7:46pm

^this here pls — (blah blah 20 chars)

Use the project environment switcher to switch away from the “Default” environment to the explicit Wire_HB3 env.

dan21 · September 7, 2021, 7:57pm

I do not know how to delete “Default” env. But anyway I’m building project from Wire_HB3 env.
build

maxgerhardt · September 7, 2021, 8:00pm

You don’t have to delete it, just click on the project environment switcher and select the env:Wire_HB3 one
