Description
In an offline development environment, when working on a large project with nearly a million lines of code using VS Code and the Clangd plugin, the following issue occurs:
When attempting to navigate to header files located under the .conan2 directory, these files display a "file not found" error. Although the generated compile_commands.json file is correct, the Clangd plugin seems unable to properly parse and locate these header files.
Issue Description:
When working on a large project, the log output differs between the offline and online machines.
Offline Machine Log:
I[09:34:39.436] Failed to find compilation database for /home/marco/.conan2/p/xxxp/include/xxx.h
I[09:34:39.437] ASTWorker building file /home/marco/.conan2/p/xxx/include/gtest/internal/xxx.h version 1 with command clangd fallback
Online Machine Log:
I[09:34:39.436] Failed to find compilation database for /home/marco/.conan2/p/xxxp/include/xxx.h
I[09:34:39.437] ASTWorker building file /home/marco/.conan2/p/xxx/include/gtest/internal/xxx.h version 1 with command inferred from /home/marco/xxx.cpp
The key difference lies in how the commands are determined:
- Offline Machine: Clangd falls back to a default configuration as it cannot infer the command from any specific source file.
- Online Machine: Clangd successfully infers the command based on
/home/marco/xxx.cpp, allowing it to parse and process the headers correctly.
Attempts to specify header file paths in settings.json were also unsuccessful on the offline machine.
This indicates that the offline machine is unable to resolve header file paths properly due to the lack of a valid compilation database or other essential project information. In contrast, the online machine can infer the necessary details and process the project as expected.
