Some progress made here.
My issues started since moving to 5.4.x after taking a break from writing/learning C++; so I’m not sure when this issue was introduced, but it does seem tied to at least how the vscode files are generated in latest. Possibly, I’m not entirely sure as I’m not proficient in this aspect of the editor.
I grabbed 5.3.x from Epic and created a code project from this build. When VS Code opened up, it recommended two extensions:
- CodeLLDB
- Mono Debug
Upon enabling these two, I get, albeit it is quite slow as you described, errors squiggles and suggestions as I was seeing before. That is, only in 5.3.x. I still can not get 5.4.x to work. RIP
