My bad. Thank you for pointing out that the link is void.
I have now edited the last comment do describe an alternative fix for the includePath issue, both for you, and for others who find this later.

I'm sorry, but I can't access this link.

Could you help me with that? This is the message that I get:

Also, I can confirm that I didn't have further problems with this.

After adding a new build configuration or after opening VS Code for the first time, I sometimes get the same problem, but all I do is "Reload Window" and I guess it reloads these dependencies also.

Good job on finding a solution!

An additional solution could be the following:
(DISCLAIMER: The error is likely due to an error during the install of nRF Connect for Visual Studio Code. The fix explained here is a temporary fix, and does not fix the root cause. In later versions of nRF connect for Visual Studio Code, when this have been resolved, it would be a good idea to undo this temporary fix.)

If the include path is not set in VS Code C/C++, you can not use "go to declaration" among other functionalities:
To fix it, go to the VS Code settings, find C/C++ "includePath", and add the path to directories you want to add.
For example: "C:\Users\username\ncs\v1.7.0\**"
("**" is to include all sub-directories.)

Also see this StackOverflow post.

I think I may have found solution to this problem over the weekend:
I've changed the following settings:

Intelli Sense Mode: windows-gcc-arm

and after reloading the window, the problem disappeared.

Hi Emir

Could you send the output from the command: "nRF Connect: Generate Support Information" and "C/C++: Log Diagnostics"?

When reloading VS Code, loading the extension can sometimes be slow. Do you still have the issue if you build a after a short wait?

Alright, thank you for the information.

Same thing happens when I manually copy a sample folder and use the "Open Application" function.

RE: Problems with VS Code

Sigurd Hellesvik — Fri, 15 Oct 2021 12:37:23 GMT

I am not able to replicate this issue.

I will ask our developers about it, and I will be back by Monday.

In the meantime, you should be able to manually create a new project by copying any sample folder, and just selecting the new folder when use the "Open Application" function.
