Search relative to project root for include files

[DonaldHays]

A few users have had project structures that don't work well with the extension's include search paths unless they add "" to their rgbdsz80.includePath setting, such as in #11. This is because the extension only searches (1) relative to the source file, and (2) relative to the include paths relative to the workspace root.

If, when building, the working directory is the workspace root, include files can be relative to the working directory/workspace root, but the extension won't search that by default.

What we really want is to add a search relative to the build working dir. This could be a setting, or we could just intuit that the workspace root will be the working dir.

Since RGBDS does not search relative to a source file, but rather only relative to both the working dir and the -I flags, arguably the fact that the extension searches relative to source files is actually wrong.

I'm just trying out your extension for gameboy color development. The syntax highlighting works great! However i can't jump to defines that are declared within other files than the current file. My .inc files are all contained within the same folder as the .asm source files. I already tried to add to add both an empty entry and the Sources folder into the include path in the settings.json.
"rgbdsz80.includePath": [
"",
"Sources"
]
Is there anything else that i could try?

Near as I can tell, from how you describe it, it should work.

Do you include the .inc files from the .asm files? For example:

foo.inc:

def abc 50

bar.asm:

include "foo.inc"

section "some data", rom0
SomeData: ds abc

Thanks for your reply.
After trying around with your snippets and my code i found the reason why it did not work for me.

If the include statement is at the beginning of the line it works as expected. However our include statements where all lead by a "tab" for formatting reasons. With that tab it does not recognice the include statement. You can see that it does not underline the filename and give you the option to ctrl-click it.

d1a60c4 fixes the issue where include directives that began with whitespace didn't support document links.
