Refactor extract new function fails

When I mark some code and then r-click to refactor into a new function the dialog pops up and lets me enter the new function name. Clicking ok then causes "failed with unknown error".

Visual Micro uses standard VC++ projects and does not intefere in any way with the IDE in the code editor. So your question is more a question for Microsoft. 

Is your code in a .ino file or cpp/h files?

I've used it hundreds of times with C++ code, it works perfectly every time.
It is .INO.
Does it have something to do with the file being .INO instead of C++?
Can I tell Visual Studio to treat it like C?

Possibly. Try click the file name in solution explorer and opening the F4 properties. See if changing the file type to c++ helps?

Looks like you need to ask Microsoft about this. The .ino files are registered as c++ and the F4 properties show c++ but refactor doesn't work properly. Intellisense works fine so we know we are setup as c++ files correctly.

I'll check with Microsoft. I used to know a couple of engineers up there before I retired.
Thanks for looking into it. I have found after more testing that it does sometimes work, but I haven't narrowed down why.
Other than that I am extremely satisfied with your product. I use it almost everyday, it is so much better than the Arduino IDE!
I do miss the C# debugging, but then I admit I'm not working on the same level of software complexity that I used to.

Great to hear that thanks. If your hardware and project supports it the GDB debugging is a big step closer to the c# debugger.

That sounds interesting about gdb, I don't know anything about it or what it requires yet. I'm working mostly with Arduino Mega and Uno boards.

The avr boards that you have require a hardware debugger such as Atmel ICE but they are still a bit cumbersome to use.

However, you can use a simple project to get a taste of hardware debugging using the GDBStub option.

I like the look of that screen!
What development boards, if any, include the HW debugger?
