Pylance doesn’t recorgnise Micropython specific keywords anymore after reopening a project about micropico HOT 10 CLOSED

@HLammers No, the syntaxhighlighting and auto-completion is completely independent from the firmware installed on your board. The problem could be ~ as prefix for the user home in the vscode configuration. I have to do some test but I may have a solution to this.

I'm encountering similar symptoms with a new project

Does this also happen if you open a blank folder, run configure project and then create a main.py with import machine?

Yes, it does

Steps to reproduce on Windows 10:

1. Create an empty folder
2. In Visual Studio Code, select File | Open Folder, and select the newly created folder
3. Run MicroPython: Configure Project
4. Create a main.py file with the single line import machine

At this point, I see the error from Pylance: Import "machine" could not be resolved

My .vscode\settings.json file contains this setting:

    "python.analysis.extraPaths": [
        "~\\.micropico-stubs\\included"
    ]

The micropico stubs do exist in my Windows user's home directory in a folder .micropico-stubs\included

As a workaround, I copied the .micropico-stubs directory from my home directory to my project directory. I changed the above lines in .vscode\settings.json to also reference the project relative copy of the stubs:

    "python.analysis.extraPaths": [
        "~\\.micropico-stubs\\included",
        ".micropico-stubs\\included"
    ]

After saving .vscode\settings.json, the error resolving import machine goes away.

It appears that Pylance is not successfully using the stubs in my Windows user home directory.

I confirm the issue as well, @jimkr work around worked, instead of copying the whole directory I simply used the absolute path with my user account, for me being "C:\Users<user-name>l.micropico-stubs\included".

Yes, I can confirm that as well.
I haven’t tried @jimkr’s work around yet.

Following @sandylnur's suggestion to add the absolute path of the users folder to settings.json, partly resolves the problem, but not completely. It recognises machine, but it doesn't recognise parts of gc and time:

• import gc is recognised, so are gc.enable() and gc.collect(), but gc.threshold(), gc.mem_free() and gc.mem_alloc() are not.
• import time is recognised, but time.sleep_ms(), time.ticks_ms() and time.ticks_diff() are not.

I'd guess that pylance is using the python standard library versions of time and gc, which contain different methods. It's not using the micropython stubs, so isn't aware of the micropython functions.

I'm not sure how (or whether it's even possible) to make the micropython stubs take precedence.

Could it have something to do with the version of MicroPython I'm using (1.23)? I don't think it should, because it used to be working when I was using the 1.23 preview.
