"Include file not found in include directory" when directories contain environment variables

[xtrium-lnx]

Hi,
I'm trying to make the switch to vscode for a c++ project with multiple contributors. The project is currently developed on windows and current bug was only tested on this platform.

Since we're more than one, we've set up environment variables pointing to where our libraries' include files are.

When trying to add "${ZENVIRONMENT_PATH}/include" to the includePath of the project, vscode gives a "Include file not found in include directory" message on all includes from said path. This happens whether the environment variable is a system or a user one.

Directly using the absolute path of the folder to add to includes fixes the problem, but isn't viable for me.

Currently we are not expanding environment variables in includePath. Justin is looking at addressing the issue.

The fix is in the next release, version 0.8.0. We will resolve:

1. Environment variables using the syntax ${var}
2. '~' expansion to the user's home directory

Awesome ! Thanks for the quick reaction :)

What is your cpptools version?

0.9.1 I'm using on 16.04 ubuntu, all standard header files are showing "Include file not found in include directory" thus no auto-complete on those standard functions, e.g: #include <stdio.h> will have green-wave-icons underneath and when mouse-over it it says ""Include file not found in include directory"

@jgoshi i'm using G++ 5.4.0.
@laoshaw Yeah. This is the same thing happening to me to.

[sridmad]

@laoshaw , @Shivamnema05 can you share the includePath settings you are using?

[Shivamnema]

@sridmad How to get that setting ?
