[1.4.0-beta] VS environment not set correctly

[bobbrow]

@andreeis Now it initializes a correct cross-compiler for MSVC CMake generator, but there is an issue.

If you have "cmake.preferredGenerators": ["Ninja"], in global settings - CMake-Tools'll never initialize vcvarsall.bat. It's a bit unexpected. Shouldn't it initialize a correct environment anyway if both visualStudio and visualStudioArchitecture are present as per documentation?

Confirmed. We'll fix this before releasing 1.4.0

This fix is available in CMake Tools #1.4.0 which has been released.

I am still having this issue with 1.4.0, downgrading to 1.3.1 fixes it.

[HenryAWE]

Still having the same issue, launching VS Code from VS command prompt fixes it

[andreeis]

You shouldn't need to launch from the VS command prompt, but it's good that's a temporary workaround.
You can also try to delete the build folder and reopen your project. This fixed the configure process for all the users that upgraded to 1.4.0.
There is a migration incompatibility that we're fixing now for 1.4.1 but in the mean time I hope the above will unblock you.

[benvanik]

I'm also having issues with 1.4.0 of the fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stddef.h': No such file or directory kind, which is new. Downgrading to 1.3.1 works. A coworker had the same issue.

[andreeis]

@benvanik, please let me know the following: what kit you are using (which VS exactly, which host-target platforms), do you set any generator explicitly in settings. Please share the contents of your kits file right after migration (only the VS section is fine, no need to include anything else).

Then, are you able to get unblocked with using 1.4.0 after deleting the build folder, reload project and rescanning kits? Do this after you paste us the kits content.

[andreeis]

This should be fixed in CMake Tools 1.4.1 which was published today.
Let us know if you encounter any issues with this release.
