VSCode Includes with custom modules? nCS

[MatiasP]

Hi Everyone,

I've started working with Zephyr, VSCode and nCS.

I'm using a sample and working on it modifiying things, but I'm not able to include extern modules, lemme explain it;

I've developed some modules that will help in my work, but when I add those to the Workspace and Try to #include it, VSCode cannot find it, also I added the path to the settings.json for the workspace with "C_Cpp.default.includePath" but nothings seems to work, I'm truly lost rn cause I need those modules to keep working...

I hope someone could light me. 

Thanks in advance to everyone,

MatiasP

Hi Everyone, If someone else is facing this problem, I've solved it adding 

            "browse": {
                "path": [
                    "${workspaceFolder}/include"
                ]
            },

in the c_cpp_properties.json of the worspace, I was missthinking that I had to put the path in the "IncludePath" but no.

I put the source files in src with the main.c and the header files in a folder named "include" in the root folder of the workspace.

Hello MatiasP,

To include custom files in Zephyr you need to add them to your CMakeLists.txt file. You'll need to do the following:

For header files, add this to the end of CMakeLists.txt:

zephyr_library_include_directories(src/my_module)

This will include the path to your include folders. After this, you should be able to include them like normally from your main.c file using:

#include "my_custom_file.h"

For source files, you need to add this to the end of CMakeLists.txt:

target_sources(app PRIVATE
    src/my_module/my_custom_file.c
)

If you want to add more files, you can add separate them using ";"

target_sources(app PRIVATE
    src/my_module/my_custom_file.c;
    src/my_module/my_other_custom_file.c

I hope that answers your question. If not, please let me know.

Best regards,

Edvin
