Why manually adjust "c_cpp_properties.json"

1

In order to get this file structure working:

|--lib
|  |
|  |--WiFiConfig
|  |  |--src
|  |     |- WiFiConfig.cpp
|  |     |- WiFiConfig.h

I’ve to manually adjust file “c_cpp_properties.json” like so:

{
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "PlatformIO",
            "includePath": [
                "/Users/janhkila/PlatformIO/Projects/Web_Radio_00/lib/WiFiConfig**/src**",

Why is that?

Well, “B” doesn’t work quite the way I expected to.

That should never be done, since the file is created automatically by PlatformIO based on the information it has about the project configuration. Will be overwritten as soon as a Intellisense rebuild occurrs (or is executed manually via Ctrl/Command + Shift + P → Rebuild IntelliSense).

Not reproducable. If I recreate your example above, build it, and rebuild the intellisense, there is src/ in the include include path.

Thank you, that’s quite clear! I must have done something that made it impossible for PIO to create the file automatically.
