includepath with network folders #3402
Description
I have a C++ workspace with following folder hierarchy
myWorkspace/
myWorkspace/component1/ImportedInterfaces/*.h --> need to exclude this folder
myWorkspace/component1/publicinterfaces/*.h
myWorkspace/component1/module1/localinterfaces/*.h
myWorkspace/component1/module1/src/*.cpp
myWorkspace/component2/ImportedInterfaces/*.h --> need to exclude this folder
myWorkspace/component2/publicinterfaces/*.h
myWorkspace/component2/module1/localinterfaces/*.h
myWorkspace/component2/module1/src/*.cpp
myWorkspace also depends on two other workspace folders on the network with similar hierarchy:
\\machine1\home\users\myDependentWorkspace1
\\machine2\home\users\myDependentWorkspace2
below is my c_cpp_properties.json file:
{
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Win32",
"includePath": [
"${workspaceFolder}/**",
"//machine1//home/users/myDependentWorkspace1/**",
"//machine2//home/users/myDependentWorkspace1/**",
],
"windowsSdkVersion": "10.0.14393.0",
"compilerPath": "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/VC/bin/cl.exe",
"cStandard": "c11",
"cppStandard": "c++11",
"intelliSenseMode": "msvc-x64",
"browse": {
"path": [
"${workspaceFolder}/**",
"//machine1//home/users/myDependentWorkspace1/**",
"//machine2//home/users/myDependentWorkspace1/**",
],
}
}
],
"version": 4
}
=============================
for folder exclusion i have the following in my settings.json file:
"C_Cpp.intelliSenseEngineFallback": "Enabled",
"C_Cpp.loggingLevel": "Debug",
"C_Cpp.exclusionPolicy": "checkFolders",
"files.exclude": {
"**/ImportedInterfaces": true
}
========================================
I see the following message in Log(Extension Host):

Workaround is to copy all these folders to a local folder(e:\folder or d:\folder). Include paths to local drive folders work fine. Is network drive folders supported in VSCode. If so, how do we point to it via includepath ?
