Good evening,
I’m having a hard time building a unit test and it seems to be failing because there are header files missing (or a path not set). Further down is a description of my environment.
When I click on the ‘Test’ under advanced in the Platform IO tasks I get:
Building…
In file included from lib\cmdBuffer\cmdBuffer.cpp:6:
lib\cmdBuffer/cmdBuffer.h:11:26: error: ‘uint8_t’ has not been declared

lib\cmdBuffer/cmdBuffer.h:1:1: note: ‘uint8_t’ is defined in header ‘’; did you forget to ‘#include ’?
+++ |+#include
and so on…
It was working for me before and then I tried to add in support for debugging only to find that I had no gdb installed (I’m using Windows 10). I followed the instructions on Get Started with C++ and Mingw-w64 in Visual Studio Code to get what I understood to be a working debug environment. I have added C:\msys64\mingw64\bin to my path and that is where the binaries are for the compiler and debugger.
After having gone through these steps I am no longer able to build my unit test. I am still able to build the main project with g++ using the Build Task in Platform IO.
When I open a PlatformIO terminal in VS Code I can see that I have GNU gdb (GDB) 11.1, g++.exe (Rev5, Built by MSYS2 project) 11.2.0, and gcc.exe (Rev5, Built by MSYS2 project) 11.2.0 installed by using the --version flag.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
