Sourcetrail Create compilation database grey out

[ronggong]

The Create compilation database grey out and the solution has not built internally by VS studio but by https://scons.org/ and vcvarsall.bat tool.

I have the same issue of the greyed out button but with a normal VS solution.

I found the doc about this and after enabling the log I got a message saying:
No C/C++ project was detected.

But all my projects are C++.

@janosimas, are you using an older version of the VS extension? A later version should also ask you to check if "Visual Studio is configured to generate a symbol database". Is that option enabled for you?

[janosimas]

I'm using VS2019 preview and I just installed the extension from the extension manager. I assume it's the latest.

Where should I find this option?

[mlangkabel]

Tools->Options->Text Editor->C/C++->Advanced->Browsing/Navigation->Disable Database = False

[janosimas]

It's false

[mlangkabel]

Can you share your solution file and on of the c++ vs project files? With those I could try to debug the issue. I would NOT need any of your source files or headers.

I'll see if I can reproduce in a small project, in a fresh project it worked.
