Eclipse > VSC: Symbol Not Found

Hi,

As per a previous thread, I am moving all my 50 projects from Eclipse to VSC.

I am getting a runtime error, which I wasn't getting previously

Error: Symbol Not Found Error 
Details: Could not find symbol 'DeviceName'

The resource file is, which is in a sub-folder.

<resources>
    <string id="AppName">hTemp</string>
    <string id="DeviceName">Vivoactive</string>
</resources>

It compiles and picks up the AppName ok.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Chris

I dont know how true that is.. but that has mostly to do with my lack of understanding vscode workspaces and projects. But... I do think you'll be able to break the vscode ciq plugin with docker. It wouldnt know what to do.

It depends on whether you want to work on the linked files in the source or destination location. If you want to work on the linked files in the destination location (as I do *), then the symlink solution isn't optimal. (* I prefer to work with one project folder at a time, as opposed to having a big workspace.)

If you have a big workspace with all your projects and the shared files in their original locations, or if you use a submodule, then it's fine.

TL;DR VS Code doesn't really work seamlessly with symlinks. I think there's a open bug report or two related to this.
