Description
Hi! I just used premake5 beta1 to organize my recent project and even though the structure is as desired and no linking errors manifest out of nowhere, i suddenly lost intellisense and colors of certain variables to all included files. Moreover, when i try to add a new class item, i get a message like "{DirPath}/foo.h is not in project" and creates only the header file on the root project directory. What do I do wrong?
Here is the premake5.lua:
workspace "VolumeInspector"
architecture "x64"
configurations
{
"Debug",
"Release"
}
outputdir = "%{cfg.buildcfg}-%{cfg.system}-%{cfg.architecture}"
project "VolumeInspector"
kind "ConsoleApp"
language "C++"
targetdir ("bin/" ..outputdir.. "/%{prj.name}")
objdir ("bin-int/" ..outputdir.. "/%{prj.name}")
files
{
"main.cpp",
"src/Engine/Core/**.h",
"src/Engine/Core/**.cpp"
}
includedirs
{
"External/spdlog/include"
}
filter "system:windows"
cppdialect "c++17"
staticruntime "on"
systemversion "latest"
filter "configurations:Debug"
defines "DEBUG"
symbols "on"
filter "configurations:Release"
defines "NDEBUG"
optimize "on"

Research direction
Start with the provided premake5.lua and reproduce the project generation using premake5 beta1. Inspect the generated project files and IDE behavior around the src/Engine/Core/**.h and **.cpp entries, then verify that included files provide IntelliSense and that new classes are created in the project directory.
