Hello,

Yesterday I installed a new hardrive (SSD) on my PC with Windows 7 Pro(64b).
Installed Arduino 1.0.6 and Aduino 1.5.8.
Installed Visual Studio 12
Installed Visual Micro version 1.1412.10 version minor 1

Working with Arduino 1.0.6 with core libraries: no problems
Working with Arduino 1.0.6 with custom libraries: no problems

Working with Arduino 1.5.8 with core libraries: does not work
Working with Arduino 1.5.8 with custom libraries: no problems

Installed Visual Studio Community 2013: same as Visual Studio 12

Add C:\arduino-1.5.8 in the PATH --> same problem.
Reset of the userinterface: no progress.

It seems that all the libraries under C:\arduino-1.5.8\libraries are not accessible, all the other libraries under C:\arduino-1.5.8\hardware\arduino\avr\libraries and C:\arduino-1.0.6\libraries are working.

The strange thing is, when you open the menu:  PROJECT > Add/import Sketch Library > Core >
all the names of the libraries are vissible.

Did some test with Arduino 1.5.6-r2 and 1.5.7: no progress

On my old harddrive, there where no problems (Arduino 1.5.7 with Visual Studio 12 Windows 7 Pro(64b)).

Working with Arduino 1.5.8 without using Visual Studio --> no problems

I am going to try Atmel Studio 6.2, probably this will work.

Kind Regards,

Marc

Hi,

They are working in my tests.

Some small confusion somewhere so here is some info to help track the issue or prompt other questions ..

The difference between 1.5 and 1.0 libs can be that the 1.5 libs hide/show based on the selected board.

So the question is which board do you have selected for your project? Did you try switch to another board and back again to see if the issue resolves?

Do you have more than one project in your solution?

Thanks

Okay I have seen the issue is that the .h files, for new format libs, are not put in the sketch code for you but they do show on the project>add/import menu and do compile/intellisense okay.

Libraries such as EEPROM work okay because they are older format. 

The libraries seem to work okay if you put the #includes in yourself. These are always the .h files from the lib/src folder

For Bridge it is this:-

#include <Bridge.h>
#include <Console.h>
#include <FileIO.h>
#include <HttpClient.h>
#include <Mailbox.h>
#include <Process.h>
#include <YunClient.h>
#include <YunServer.h>

You can paste lib includes into the code manually then click Save and they will be recognised.

We will issue a minor sp2 update over the next few days. Thanks for the report.

Have you switch on Tools>Visual Micro>Warnings?

If so switch it off so you see what you see in the Arduino IDE. I see Arduino have quite a few warnings for some libraries.

ps: pressing Save after adding libs is important, that is when the project include paths are re-calculated and intellisense will start to work for the libs.

Hi,

Thanks for the message.

It is working if you have core and libraries visible in the sketch. 

It's a bug in the latest release that is caused by not having the sources toggled into the project.

Click the project then the menu "Project>Show all core and library sources". This toggles the core and libs in/out of the current solution.

Then when you add libs the #includes will be added automatically for you.

None of these things affect compilation so, as you will see, you can do as you please with the project structure.
