All tools run ok for me now. Squiggles not showing as before.

[jbenden]

@dzid26 Do the error squiggles now appear?

[dzid26]

Oh, I forgot to test earlier. Unfortunately, squiggles still don't appear.

I wanted to investigate a bit, but couldn't bind breakpoints for some reason.

Hi, I'll have to build a test VM running Windows, then. What clang/cppcheck/etc are you using? Is it choco or?

[dzid26]

Those:

• https://packages.msys2.org/package/clang (MSYS)
• cppcheck

[jbenden]

Hi, I believe the squiggles problem to now be fixed. At least very hopeful! :)

FYI: The unit-tests fail to work at all on Windows; but others are complaining. Maybe it'll be resolved at some point. The unit-tests do not even get a chance to run, it fails within early git/github extensions bundled with VSCode.

Thanks, -Joe

It worked this time. Great!
