VSCode/UE Intellisense Fix

VSCode Extension supports Unreal Engine v4.25 / v4.26.1+ / and v5.0.0+

ReadMe link:

More Detailed Readme

WARNING: 3.1.0+ changes the way this extension's 'enableOptionalFixes' optimization setting works. Enabling UE optimization disables red squiggle compiling for the Unreal Engine source code. This does not affect your project's source code (it still can have red squiggles). Navigation is unaffected. You can disable this in this extension's settings.

• File Changed: Unreal Source's .vscode/settings.json

Note: Check out the Running section of the Readme to take advantage of the smaller Tag Parser cache

3.8.1 Dec 17, 2023

• Fixed glob, that detected new source files, so that it only detects source files in the immediate Source directory.

3.8.0 Nov 4, 2023

• Now says to user to soft reset project which is proper way to add new source files intellisense.
• Now uses esbuild to bundles extension (smaller download size and faster start)

3.7.3 Sept 6, 2023

• Cpp standard fix now supports UE 5.3+ and c++20
• Check for 5.3+ to bypass launch.json fix

3.7.2 Feb 15, 2023

• Only force show logs when there's an error
• More gentle log message if not Unreal project

3.7.1 Jan 19, 2023

• Fixed errant return, in intellisense fix, that caused intellisenseMode to only set after VSCode restart

3.7.0 Jan 19, 2023

• Switched String replaceAll function with replace (caused exception by not being supported by all systems with this config)
• Extension's intellisenseMode can now be set on a per project basis in Workspace settings
• Extension's Mac M1/M2 default intellisenseMode is now auto set in Workspace setting

3.6.0 Jan 19, 2023

• Changed reading/writing files
• Added more launch fix logs

3.5.2 Jan 18, 2023

• Since it now works correctly changed Mac M1/M2 intellisenseMode default to "macos-clang-arm64" (can be changed in this extension's settings)
• Fixed async/await in wrong intellisenseMode fix which fixes it
• Fixed async/await in file watchers

3.5.1 Jan 18, 2023

• Fixed Promise function not having await in launch.json fix

3.5.0 Nov 14, 2022

• Support for UE 5.1: They changed how they use compile commands(arguments instead of command)
• Will ask to overwrite compiler setting if compiler path is different in compile commands
• Compiler path setting can now be either local(project) or global (can't have both)
• Added new setting that turns on/off local(project) compiler path functionality
• Updated package-lock.json
• With 5.1, Epic includes hundreds of include directories that don't exists. We only give a warning about how many and don't attempt to fix.

3.4.0 Sept 5, 2022

• Changed Extension's path setting. Will now pull from compile command's path if not set. If set will set both compile command compiler path and compilerPath setting(c_cpp_properties.json).
• Removed strict setting
• Added comment about extension's compiler.path setting for Mac users. Probably needs to be set to /usr/bin/clang++ for Intellisense to work.

3.3.0 Aug 31, 2022

• When not using strict setting will auto copy Unreal's compiler choice to the path setting.
• Stop recommending to use the extension's strict setting(it's now an error but can stil be used). Users using the strict setting should uncheck the setting and reset their project(Generate Project Files)

3.2.0 Aug 18, 2022

• Changed default intellisenseMode for Mac M1 users to clang-x64
• Added editable intellisenseMode extension setting (For Mac M1 users it will be auto set to clang-x64)
• Changed default Mac M1 compiler setting to clang++ instead of clang
• Added warning for Mac users for setting UEIntellisenseFixes.compiler.path

3.1.6 Aug 15, 2022

• Fixed response file path regex to support dashes
• Better error message for response file regex being unable to read path

3.1.5 Aug 14, 2022

• Retrying Mac M1 generated.h regex path tester (Not sure if it's M1 only fix or a general Mac fix)

3.1.4 June 22, 2022

• Fixed Mac M1 generated.h regex path tester (Not sure if it's M1 only fix or a general Mac fix)

3.1.3 June 20, 2022

• Added c++20 option for future or experimental projects

3.1.2 June 15, 2022

• Added error messages when creating compile command objects

3.1.1 June 14th, 2022

• Added fix for non-quoted response file paths yggie (Thanks!)
• Added some error messages for invalid projects
• Fixed the wording for the optional optimization fix

3.1.0 May 18th, 2022

• Simpler way for the extension's 'enableOptionalFixes' optimization setting. Now just uses Tag Parser for UE source. SEE WARNING ABOVE

• Added error if *.generated.h path isn't in rsp files
• Add error if using UE5 and using the wrong cppStandard
• Added info message about default cppStandard for UE4/UE5
• Better warning if UE path isn't in *.code-workspace file
• Show total # of errors/warnings messages at end of log
• Warn if using the extension's path setting without strict enabled
• Warning if project is using Source/(ProjectName)/(Public/Private) directory structure
• Launch json fix refactor.
• Launch json fix of this extension's previous launch json fix version to match console setting of UE5 to UE4

3.0.2 April 12th, 2022

3.0.1 April 6th, 2022

• Changed to a different way of checking for UE's Version.h

  Thanks to @heptaspirit for helping test this!

• Converted from node read/write file to vscode api read/write file.
• Removed convoluted progress bar code (The info bar already has a 'extension is done' indicator)
• Changed reset detection - Now just warns to restart VSCode.
• Fixed isValid project code so file watchers will now run

• Fix for UE5 Preview 1's malformed json in launch.json

2.4.0 January 25th, 2022

• Mac M1 fix will auto set compiler path in c_cpp_properties (Can also change the path in new extension settings)
• New compiler.path setting to force compiler path in c_cpp_properties.
• New compiler.strictPath setting to force compiler.path setting in compile commands file.
• 4.26 now uses 4.27 code path. It shouldn't matter... and adds some of the new functionality to 4.26.

Thanks!
