Cannot open source file, yet still compiles.

I have just installed VS2015 and Visual Micro on a new computer.

After opening a project from VS2013 (and possibly the previous VM version) I get over 400 errors in the error window.

However, the code compiles, uploads and runs perfectly.

The errors include:

"Cannot open source file "<EVERY_FILE_EVER_CREATED>.h" "
and
"Identifier "<EVERY_IDENTIFIER_USED>" is undefined."

...which is basically leaves my whole code underlined by intellisense.

Any solutions?

I'm using the IDE version 1.7.3.

Board I'm currently targeting is the Leonardo, but changing the board makes no difference to the errors. Building is successful no matter what board I choose.

Oh okay if you are using the arduino.org clone Ide then I guess you have used the arduino.org app name when you configured visual micro?

They have probably moved where the sources which affects intellisense but not compile. The last test for visual micro was with arduino.org 1.7.8 so maybe you can try that and see if intellisense is still failing.

Thanks very much

I also have 1.6.4 installed.

I'll update 1.6.4 to 1.6.7, and 1.7.3 to 1.7.8, and see what happens when I fiddle with the Configuration Manager.

Hi,

All previous arduino.cc ide versions should work okay it might only be related to arduino.org. If I recall there is a point in the release notes about arduino.org intellisense needing a change for 1.7.8 testing.

So hope it's okay now

Uninstalled all Arduino IDEs, installed 1.6.7.

Reinstalled build tools for VS2015 (v140) and installed build tools for VS2013 (v120).

Everything now works as it should, although it sometimes takes two restarts of Visual Studio for new libraries to be found. Nothing I can't live with.

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

Thanks for the update.

When you add new libraries you have to click "Rescan" in the "Micro explorer" or click "Tools.Visual Micro>Reload Toolchains" or Restart the Ide.

If you use the "Visual Micro>Add Library" menu command there is a "Refresh" option immediately below which also reloads tool chain.

Reloading the tool chain detects all hardware and lib changes.

Please let me know if you have been using these commands but new libs have not been recognized until restart

Thanks
