Problem with dependencies - my own files

PlatformIO IDE

Description of problem

I can’t compile my program with files in such a localisation:

│   .gitignore
│   .travis.yml
│   LICENSE
│   platformio.ini
│
├───.pioenvs
├───.vscode
│
├───include
│
├───lib
│       definitions.h
│       functions.cpp
│       functions.h
│       global_variables.h
│       initialization.cpp
│       initialization.h
│
└───src
         main.cpp

But when I move to include, everything works. Also, when trying to add /lib to c_cpp_properties.json that file keeps reseting, after VSCode restart.

Configuration

VS Code: 1.34.0
Home: 2.0.2
Core: 3.6.7
OS: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17763.504]

Do not manually edit the c_cpp_properties.json file, instead adapt the platformio.ini so that PlatformIO will generate the correct one for you.

Wrong folder structure, inside lib/ there should be your library folder (e.g. MyCoolLibrary), and in that folder there should be source files (can also be inside src/) The README file generated in the lib fodler says


This directory is intended for project specific (private) libraries.
PlatformIO will compile them to static libraries and link into executable file.

The source code of each library should be placed in a an own separate directory
("lib/your_library_name/[here are source files]").

For example, see a structure of the following two libraries `Foo` and `Bar`:

|--lib
|  |
|  |--Bar
|  |  |--docs
|  |  |--examples
|  |  |--src
|  |     |- Bar.c
|  |     |- Bar.h
|  |  |- library.json (optional, custom build options, etc) https://docs.platformio.org/page/librarymanager/config.html
|  |
|  |--Foo
|  |  |- Foo.c
|  |  |- Foo.h
|  |
|  |- README --> THIS FILE
|
|- platformio.ini
|--src
   |- main.c

and a contents of `src/main.c`:

#include <Foo.h>
#include <Bar.h>

int main (void)
{
  ...
}


PlatformIO Library Dependency Finder will find automatically dependent
libraries scanning project source files.
