Platformio-vscode-ide: "mitaki28.vscode-clang" extension conflicts with "ms-vscode.cpptools"

[yelvlab]

Temporary solution

Please disable/uninstall mitaki28.vscode-clang and vsciot-vscode.vscode-arduino extensions for PlatformIO workspaces.

VSCode > Menu > View > Extensions > Enabled > Icon near extension ⚙️ > Uninstall

You can change a board and serial port using platformio.ini and board/upload_port options:

• https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/projectconf/section_env_general.html#board
• https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/projectconf/section_env_upload.html#upload-port

VSCode prompt 'Arduino.h' file not found ，But it can still compile

[ivankravets]

Could you try to rebuild a project C/C++ IntelliSense index? VSCode Menu > Tasks > Run Task... > PlatformIO: Rebuild C/C++ Project Index

[ivankravets]

Please reopen if you still need help

[zgoda]

I have this problem and the task "Rebuild C/C++ Project Index" does not exists.

"Go to definition" works OK.

[ivankravets]

@zgoda do you see PlatformIO IDE Toolbar on the bottom panel?

[zgoda]

Yes but this task does not exist on the list of tasks.

[ivankravets]

VSCode > Help > Toggle Developer Tools.

Do you see any errors? Try to restart VSCode.

[zgoda]

  ERR Cannot read property 'dispose' of undefined: TypeError: Cannot read property 'dispose' of undefined
    at delay.then.then (/home/jazg/.vscode/extensions/mitaki28.vscode-clang-0.2.2/out/src/diagnostic.js:44:35)
    at <anonymous>

This is the only error I see. Restarting VSC does not help, the problem reappears as soon as I save the document.

[ivankravets]

Please open PIO IDE Terminal and type pio init --ide vscode. Does it work?

[zgoda]

Yes, this is what "Rebuild IntelliSense Index" task does. But this does not change anything.

[ivankravets]

Try to disable other extensions and check if it works without them. Maybe, some extension conflicts with PIO.
Also, try to create a simple empty project and check if it works.

[zgoda]

This one was an offender https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mitaki28.vscode-clang

[ivankravets]

Thanks! I'll try to reproduce this issue by installing that extension.

[ivankravets]

I can't reproduce this issue with that extension. Let's wait maybe someone will provide more info.

@yelvlab do you also have this extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mitaki28.vscode-clang?

P.S: Temporary, you can disable that extension for PIO workspaces.

[yelvlab]

@ivankravets yes,I have

[zgoda]

This issue may be related.

[ivankravets]

See updated solution in the original comment https://github.com/platformio/platformio-vscode-ide/issues/118#issue-332266163

P.S: We can't help here. mitaki28.vscode-clang overrides ms-vscode.cpptools's IntelliSense provider, as result, you see these errors. It seems for me that you can manually configure mitaki28.vscode-clang as described in their docs and disable ms-vscode.cpptools. Nevertheless, I don't see any benefit from mitaki28.vscode-clang.

[zgoda]

I use it elsewhere, certainly not in PIO projects. Disabling it in PIO workspaces seems an acceptable workaround.

[alnitak1000]

I don't know how to disable/uninstall the offending components. Can you be clearer?

[ivankravets]

VSCode > Menu > View > Extensions > Enabled > Icon near extension ⚙️ > Uninstall

[alnitak1000]

So it still doesn't work. I have the Arduino 0.2.23 extension, C/C++ 0.20.1, Platformio IDE 1.4.6, and C++ intellisense 0.2.2 installed and still get the error message that the intellisense won't work. I tried uninstalling the C++ intellisense extension, also, but that doesn't make any difference. This on Mac OS x 10.13.6

[ivankravets]

Please uninstall Arduino extension and install C/C++ extension. Restart VSCode, wait a few seconds while VSCode builds index.

[alnitak1000]

That seemed to work, although the board and serial ports no longer show up
in the status bar

Ха-ха.

@alnitak1000 these board and serial ports switchers are from arduino extension. We don't depend on them and they mislead PlatformIO users. You can change board and serial port using platformio.ini and board/upload_port options:

• https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/projectconf/section_env_general.html#board
• https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/projectconf/section_env_upload.html#upload-port

[alnitak1000]

Great, thanks, that is helpful.

Visual studio code 1.38.1 and PlatformIO on Windows 10
M5StickC on COM port 10 BAUD 115200

Working with M5StickC and followed the starting above instructions. The code compiled successfully and now have an issue with uploading the code to M5StickC.

A fatal error occurred: Timed out waiting for packet header
* [upload] Error 2

I have no issues when using Arduino IDE 1.8.10

[rwp908]

Finally had to modify the code to get M5StickC for MStickC_Slot to run.

The code here https://github.com/vcraftjp/M5StickC_Slot requires some modification but now it works great. Spent 5 hours to make it work.

So who holds responsibility for this error right now? Microsoft or PlatformIO? I see that Microsoft feels that the only solution is to disable part of PlatformIO. But I also see that no FIX has been implemented by either side. Are there any plans to resolve or are we waiting to see who flinches first?

[ivankravets]

We asked Microsoft Team to help us here. They confirmed the issue but there is no feedback from their side :( I'll try to ping them again.

[rbiernath]

still having issue

[jay-ramani]

We asked Microsoft Team to help us here. They confirmed the issue but there is no feedback from their side :( I'll try to ping them again.

Any luck with that? Been 7 months now.

Any update? We still have this issue.

[rflulling]

Not to beat a dead horse. But the last time I saw a change to VSC that resulted in something being broken, it was deliberate a a competitive move to muscle in on a product they wanted out. I think they have done this a couple times now since I have been on VSC.

It seems I have been to this topic before.
So in reference, the Arduino module that they still advertise in VSC. You cannot enable wit without conflict. As best I can tell the change to the code was NOT an accident. This effected both Arduino and PIO. If I recall correctly.

I don't expect to ever see this FIXED. Least not by any measure we know.

[Nikhita-Rajasekhar]

Is this issue resolved? I still face the include error when trying to include Arduino.h file. Have added everything in my include path as well. Please can someone help here? Can provide any relevant details further!

[thewhiterabbit]

I was able to ignore the conflict message, use the build button at the bottom of the VSC, and there were no more errors that includes were invalid.

Extensions installed:
C/C++ IntelliSense v1.1.3
GitHub Pull Requests and Issues v0.21.2
PlatformIO v2.2.1
Arduino v0.3.4

PlatformIO core 5.0.3

Just ignore the conflict message, it's only intended to mislead you. Everything works fine. Remember the 80s when MS put those DOS errors in to steal business? Same thing here.
