Describe the problem

The Functions inside Ino files aren't find when called form the main sketch,

2. write a function

   int sum (int a , int b ){
     return a+ b ;
   }

3. try to call it from the main sketch with Serial.println(sum(2,3));

you will get "was not declared in this scope" error

Hi @zaid894. Thanks for your report. I was not able to reproduce the issue. This may be because I have not sufficiently replicated the conditions on your machine.

I'll ask you for some additional information.

Full demonstration sketch

Please do this:

1. Open or create a complete sketch with the problematic code.
2. Compile the sketch to make sure it produces the bug.
3. Select Sketch > Show Sketch Folder from the Arduino IDE menus.
4. Put this entire folder in a ZIP file.
5. Attach that ZIP file in a reply here on the GitHub issue.

Board selection

Which board do you have selected in the Arduino IDE when you got the error?

Full compilation output

Please do this:

1. Select File > Preferences from the Arduino IDE menus.
2. Check the box next to "Show verbose output during: > ☐ compilation"
3. Click the OK button.
4. Select Sketch > Verify/Compile from the Arduino IDE menus.
5. Wait for the compilation to fail.
6. You will see a "Compilation error: ..." notification at the bottom right corner of the Arduino IDE window. Click the COPY ERROR MESSAGES button on that notification.
7. Paste the error messages in a reply here.
   In order to ensure the text is not corrupted, please use code fencing.

Thanks. I still wasn't able to reproduce the error by compiling that sketch.

I requested three things in my previous reply:

• Full demonstration sketch
• Board selection
• Full compilation output

You have only provided the first of those. Please provide the other two so that I can proceed with the investigation.

Hello,

the error is gone after a reinstallation and the same sketch is now compiling!

Thank you so much
