Should create correct intelli Sense config based on toolchain file

See original GitHub issue

Brief Issue Summary

I am using toolchain file for CMake, which I added in the cmake_tools.json, this specifies a custom compiler and custom include paths (and custom defines).

Expected:

On Project configuration and clicking “Yes” when being asked “Would you like to use ${workspaceFolder}/build/compile_commands.json to auto-configure IntelliSense for this folder?” should generate a compile_commands.json based on the values set in the toolchain file.

Apparent Behavior:

The following code is generated:

{
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Linux",
            "includePath": [
                "${workspaceFolder}/**"
            ],
            "defines": [],
            "compilerPath": "/usr/bin/clang",
            "cStandard": "c11",
            "cppStandard": "c++17",
            "intelliSenseMode": "clang-x64",
            "compileCommands": "${workspaceFolder}/build/compile_commands.json"
        }
    ],
    "version": 4
}

while the compile_commands seem to be correct, the content of defines and includePath is not.

Hi there,

I work on the cpptools extension (and now we maintain this extension too). If you are still having trouble with this, please share the entry from your compile_commands.json file that is not working for you. (e.g. if foo.cpp is not being configured properly, please share the corresponding entry for foo.cpp from your compile_commands.json file)

When the compileCommands property is used in the c_cpp_properties.json file, we do not look at the includePath and define properties because we expect compile_commands.json to be the source of truth for configuration.

Thank you.

@zrno, ok? ms-vscode.cmake-tools only works with cpptools@0.26.2-insiders as of right now. My guess is that you installed the Insiders version of cpptools and that fixed your problem.

I’m going to close this issue now, because I think all points have now been addressed. If you have any further feedback for the extension, please open a new issue and we can start from there.
