#include errors detected. Consider updating your compile_commands.json or includePath. Squiggles are disabled for this translation unit

Hello,
I'm starting my journey with the Zephyr RTOS and I'm having trouble with the compiler/IntelliSense finding include paths from the build output. (I`m using nucleo_f303re)
I created a c_cpp_properties.json file in VS Code and added the configuration pointing to the compile_commands.json file: "configurations": [

    {

        "name": "Zephyr",

        "compileCommands": "${workspaceFolder}/build/nucleo_f303re/compile_commands.json"

    }

],

"version": 4

}]
and {
"tasks": [
{
"type": "cppbuild",
"label": "C/C++: gcc.exe build active file",
"command": "C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe",
"args": [
"-fdiagnostics-color=always",
"-g",
"${file}",
"-o",
"${fileDirname}\${fileBasenameNoExtension}.exe"
],
"options": {
"cwd": "${fileDirname}"
},
"problemMatcher": [
"$gcc"
],
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
},
"detail": "Task generated by Debugger."
}
],
"version": "2.0.0"
}However, VS Code's IntelliSense still cannot find the necessary headers, which makes development very difficult. The specific errors I'm seeing are:

Zephyr header not found: zephyr/kernel.h: No such file or directory

Standard C headers not found: cannot open source file "inttypes.h", cannot open source file "errno.h", cannot open source file "stddef.h" This is for a standard example like the button sample. Oddly, both the button and blinky examples flash successfully, but the PWM blinky example is already giving me build problems (though my main concern right now is the IntelliSense paths).

My primary issue is correctly setting up these include paths.

I would also like to ask for recommendations on VS Code extensions for debugging Zephyr code, as I am keen to properly learn the OS.

Thank you in advance for your help! Best regards.

it should be ${workspaceFolder}/build/compile_commands.json unless you are building a multi image app and one of them is called nucleo_f303re. The board name shouldn't be a directory in the build folder.

[kokonowyfifi]

Previously, I had the path assigned this way, but the message say it isn't visible within the project structure. The project structure have folder "nucleo_f303re" thats why, I wrote like that, and It see this path.

Try doing a clean rebuild and make sure the path is correct

Okey, so I rebuild it for "compileCommands": "${workspaceFolder}/build/compile_commands.json", now its correct path, but It still doesnt see the headers. In compile commands json "directory": "C:/Desktop/ZephyrOS/button/build", #include errors detected. Consider updating your compile_commands.json or includePath.
