Path problem with mbed.h

VSC 1.42, PIO 4.2 Home 3.1 When opening a Mbed project i get always an include warning.
Can compile and upload, but the error persists. Index rebuild doesn’t help.
Also deleted .pio and .vscode folder and rebuild, does also not help.
mbed

So what problems are in the Problems (2) tab of VSCode?

Could you try to build a project? Do you see this warning after a build?

Yes, I created an project from scratch with PIO Home (STM32 Nucleo F429) but the error persists.

Here the errors

Interesting that it cannot find stdlib.h. Can you show post the contents of the .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json file in the project? (or via pastebin).

I cannot reproduce this problem on Windows + VSCode 1.42.1 and PIO 4.2 .

platformio.ini

[env:nucel_f429zi]
platform = ststm32
board = nucleo_f429zi 
framework = mbed

Does this problem also appear in projects which do not have # in their path?

What other extension are installed in VSCode (screenshot)?

I’m on macOS Catalina, I’m using projects with # in the path for Arduino without a problem. This happens only with mbed.

Meaning that it works when you delete the #?

No, it has nothing to do with # in the path, tried it. It is a problem only with mbed.

This is a strange bug and I reproduced it on macOS. Please report to Issues · platformio/platformio-core · GitHub.

Don’t you just love IntelliSense… not working, that is! Tried to reproduce this on Linux, and I get a completely different error with the simple while(1) program and configuration shown above. btw, IntelliSense is working just fine on the same system with some ESP8266 & ESP32 Arduino projects I’m working on right now w/ VSCode 1.42.1 & PIO 4.2.0.

I get #include errors detected. Please update your includePath. Squiggles are disabled for this translation unit (/media/2TB_upper/Projects/PlatformIO/mbed/hello-world/src/main.cpp). as the main error and when I mouse over the red squiggle under mbed.h since I have debug logging turned on, I get a

textDocument/hover: 51
Quick info operation failed: FE: 'Compiler exited with error - No IL available'

error from the C++ IntelliSense engine…

Progress is here
