Specific Extra Search Paths Settings

If you want to set extra search paths for a specific project, use below format to set extra paths or path-list-files:

  • Value format: [Global-Paths]; [Project1-Folder-Name = Path1, Path2, Path3]; [Project2-Folder-Name=Path5,Path6];
  • Use semicolon ';' to separate groups. A [group] is either global-paths or a name=paths pair.
  • Use comma ',' to separate paths in a [group].
  • You can omit global-paths or name=paths pairs. Just set what you want, like one or more paths (global).

For example, if you have 2 projects: d:\git\project1 + d:\git\project2 + a common/global path = D:\myLibs\boost

You can set values for the projects like below, and their extra search paths will be below:

  • msr.default.extraSearchPaths
    • Set value like: D:\myLibs\boost; project1 = D:\git\baseLib,D:\git\teamLib; project2=d:\git\project1;
    • Then paths will be:
      • project1 extra search paths = D:\myLibs\boost,D:\git\baseLib,D:\git\teamLib
      • project2 extra search paths = D:\myLibs\boost,d:\git\project1
  • msr.default.extraSearchPathListFiles
    • Set value like: project1=d:\paths1.txt,D:\paths2.txt; project2 = d:\paths3.txt
    • Then paths will be:
      • project1 extra search path list files = d:\paths1.txt,D:\paths2.txt
      • project2 extra search path list files = d:\paths3.txt

Since 1.0.7 : Much easier to set in your personal settings file like %APPDATA%\Code\User\settings.json on Windows:

  • msr.project1.extraSearchPaths : "D:\myLibs\boost,D:\git\baseLib,D:\git\teamLib"

  • msr.project2.extraSearchPaths : "D:\myLibs\boost,d:\git\project1"

  • Same to msr.xxx.extraSearchPathListFiles settings.

  • You can also use msr.default.extraSearchPathGroups + msr.default.extraSearchPathListFileGroups which should use array values like:

"msr.default.extraSearchPathGroups": [
    "D:\\myLibs\\boost, d:\\myLibs\\common",
    "Project1 = D:\\git\\baseLib, D:\\git\\teamLib",
    "Project2 = D:\\git\\Project1 , D:\\git\\baseLib , D:\\git\\teamLib"
]

You can also set extra search paths for each type of coding language.
