c_cpp_properties.json (non Issue)

[versamodule]

This is not a issue, but you can shrink your c_cpp_properties.json file down by using "${IDF_PATH}/components/**"

instead of listing all the components folders line by line.

I.E...

hi @versamodule Thanks, I tried this but I found that I lost intellisense on the include files. Do you experience the same?

[versamodule]

I have had that happen now and then. What I noticed was if you just go above "${IDF_PATH}/components/**" and hit enter a few times and save the file, it fixes it. If it happens again, I just go back in the file and remove the couple blank lines and save again.

Its been a long time, so I am not sure if adding this other line took care of it. I put this "${workspaceFolder}/**", just above "${workspaceFolder}/build/config",
