Vscode-project-manager: Cannot use intellisense in projects opened

[YashSaxena9]

When I open the project using the Project manager then it doesn't underline/highlight the syntax errors in code.
Everything works fine if I open a folder in code using the terminal.

Hi @YashSaxena9 ,

I’ve never experienced this issue, and I’m not sure why this could be happening.

Do you experience the same issue if you open the project using the native File / Open command? That’s basically the same API that the extension uses.

Hope this helps

[YashSaxena9]

No, there's no issue if I open the project using the native File / Open command.
I just installed this extension as it seemed very promising and convenient but then I noticed this issue.

[YashSaxena9]

What should I share for more information.
I'd really like this extension to work :)

How are you using the extension? Did you _saved_ projects, or did you use the _auto-detection_ feature for Git/SVN projects?

[alefragnani]

BTW, if you open a folder using the native commands and the IntelliSense works, saving the project in Project Manager, using the Project Manager: Save Project command and reopening the project using the Project Manager: List Projects to Open command, should work as well.

Could you confirm that?

[YashSaxena9]

I actually added folders by editing .json file. Let me check the save Project command

[YashSaxena9]

I checked, the result is the same, it doesn't underline/highlight the syntax errors in code.

It seems like I found the issue, when I open a folder using the project manager then I need to manually enable Report compilation errors for any non-project file in the current session.

I think maybe because I am not defining packagefor my javafiles

Great news! 🎉

I’m not sure what this command/operation does. Is it some other extension you have installed?

[YashSaxena9]

Okay, I think I finally found the cause, its this error.

my folder's name is pepCoding_master and its a GitHub repo too but the name appears as a project is different

Well, I'm a student and been learning java, so I use the java extension pack by Microsoft.
Please can you help me get rid of it :)

[YashSaxena9]

Sir, I dug in further and found the cause of the problem. Its a problem related to Redhat's java language support extension, I just installed an older version of that extension and it started to underline/highlight the syntax errors in code.
The solution was to use an older version of this extension, seems like its new update caused an issue

Thank you, Sir, for giving your time for my problem 😊
I appreciate your help :)

[alefragnani]

That’s great to see it’s working now!

I hope you enjoy using the Project Manager extension.
