Adding a source file / folder to a project

[PG.1]

Hello!

One problem I had today:

I made a new project for one specific question.

In the process of doing this, I created a file. Let's call it test.c / test.h using STM32CubeIDE, V1.7, Linux.

To start from the beginning, I added a source folder, and created a h file and c file in this folder (test.c / .h)

I added include "test.h" in main. The compiler doesn't' find test.h.

Is there anything else to do? The folder I created has a small C in its icon, which indicates it's recognized

as a source folder, so I don't get it...

Thanks for any hint!

To have it find test.h when you #include it, add the folder to the include directories in project properties:

To add a folder with source code that it needs to compile, add that folder in the "Source Location" tab shown in the screenshot.

Can be many reasons. But anybody would need more info to help you.

A) you have an STM32CubeIde project AAA created with STM32CubeIde  - correct?

B) than you have a tree structure, a main.c file in some src directory - correct? 

C) you have added to src directory some files, test. c and test .h - ok?

D) IDE indexes files - use command refresh. 

E) now you must say to compiler where .h file are - go to properties, compiler, include files dir and add src directory. - solved?

For your reference:

I strongly suggest to include step by step description on how you got to critical point - if eveybody is able to recreate from SCRATCH (this is vital) the problem somebody could help you:

1) describe the steps you did, one by one;

2) try yourself to replicate the problem executing your steps one by one
