Intellisense configuration provider 'nordic-semiconductor.nrf-connect' does not provide completions for unit test projects

[Tyler Grunenwald]

Completions for symbols in unity.h and custom, common include files (e.g. test_main.h) are not found by intellisense.

c_cpp_properties.json:

{
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Win32",
            "includePath": [
                "${workspaceFolder}/**"
            ],
            "defines": [
                "_DEBUG",
                "UNICODE",
                "_UNICODE"
            ],
            "windowsSdkVersion": "10.0.19041.0",
            "compilerPath": "cl.exe",
            "cStandard": "c17",
            "cppStandard": "c++17",
            "intelliSenseMode": "windows-msvc-x64",
            "configurationProvider": "nordic-semiconductor.nrf-connect"
        }
    ],
    "version": 4
}

Tried and didn't work:

• adding the test project as a separate application
• adding ${workspaceFolder}/test/inc (location of test_main.h) to includePath or browse.path
• searched for location of unity.h in SDK and toolchain folders came up with no results. Is it a generated file?

Hi Tyler

Got an update from one of our devs today, so forwarding their thoughts here:

We generally have pretty poor support for the x86 targets unfortunately, but we'd expect intellisense to work if you used the extension to build it. Does the sidebar's source files view have any content, or does it just have a "you need compile commands" message?

Best regards,

Simon

Interesting.. I've been building the tests separately using twister on the command line.

I just tried adding a test module as a separate "application" + build configuration using the extension. I get the following assembler error when trying to build with the extension. It builds successfully with twister.
