Hi,

Thanks very much for the great report.

I have looked into the issue and spotted a few things which should be easily resolved but I have a few questions/observations...

There are two published types of Arduino library format and the ArduinoJson seems to be confused about which one it is.

Format 1: The library folder contains cpp/h files and optionally a /utility sub folder for additional "private" cpp/h sources.

Format 2: The library DOES NOT contain any .cpp/.h sources files instead can contain an /src folder with the main sources. The /src folder may have an unlimited number of nested sub folders cotaining "private" source code cpp/h.

In the last release of Visual Micro the internal test for the format was simplified to testing for the /src folder to determine the Format. 

The ArduinoJson library contains sources in the library folder and an /src folder with additional cpp sources. It's a good thing that there are no .h files in the /src folder otherwise Visual Micro would think the /src is the root of format 2 and incorrectly show the library on the menus but with the wrong knowledge.

I am not sure if I need to reconsider how Visual Micro makes this determination of Format but I will be guided by your feedback to the above scenario but keeping in mind the following:- 

I tried compiling the library in the Arduino Ide because with the design of the ArduinoJson library I could not see how the cpp files in the /src folder were being compiled if the Format is Format 1??

The output of the Arduino Ide in verbose mode shows that it does just compile the ArduinoJson.cpp and all sources in the /src folder are ignored. However when I look in the ArduinoJson source it #includes the /src folder.

So please explain to me how this library works or does the /src folder contain unused code?

I'm confused. Thanks again.

I've updated with beta download and reverted to determining if a lib header exists in the root for Format 1 libraries. 

It's obvious the Json library manages to make use of the cpp files in other folders without requiring them to be compiled.

This fixes the issue and ensures Visual Micro produces the same output as the Arduino ide.

EDIT

As concerns the include actually this is the right one

#include <ArduinoJson.h>

You only have to qualify the path if you have an issue with conflicting lib.h file names in other libraries. + The path is not compatible with the arduino ide.

You should be able to click the library and have visual micro insert the correct #includes for you.

Thanks again for the report.

Many thanks !!
I confirm it is now behaving as expected
