Visual Studio Code - adding c/h files to project

[KMill]

Using the new VSC Integrations, when I add a new .h/.c file to and STM32 project, do I really have to manually update the CMakeLists.txt file too? This seems like a retrograde step.

 

If I just right-click on the SRC or INC folder and add a new file, I get lots of include errors etc, because (I think) CMake is not aware of these files.

AI Told me to try out two extensions, but it was either hallucinating, or they are not available for VSC on macOS.

They were CMake File Helper and/or C/C++ File Creator.

What is the best/suggested way of adding new files to a project?

Hi ​@KMill

Thanks, yes I did read that.

Like I said, that seems like a retrograde step. Now I have to manually update the CMakeLists.txt file everytime I add a new source file!
