Intellisense不适用于Visual Studio 2017中的cmake项目

Question

I'm using Visual Studio for a cmake project (Rigid Body simulation, but that probably doesn't matter). My problem is that Intellisense does not work at all, meaning no autocomplete and no underlining of syntax errors. I checked the options menu (options -> Text Editor -> C++ -> advanced -> Intellisense) and Intellisense seems to be turned on, however I don't understand all the options exactly.

Pressing ctrl + space (autocomplete) the bottom bar says 'No additional information available (see 'Troubleshooting Intellisense in c++ projects' for further help)'. However Intellisense works well in a standdard c++ project, and searching for the mentioned term tells me to check my options menu.

Searching for my issue on Google I've found this page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/ide/how-to-enable-intellisense-for-makefile-projects?view=vs-2017 , but I can't follow its instructions further than step 3 since my Property Pages -> Configuration property does not contain an 'NMake' page (I only have a 'General' page).

Thanks for your help.

Some Detail that may be of use:
Operating System: Windows 10, 1803, build 17134.285
Visual Studio: Community 2017, Version 15.8.6
CMake: Version 3.12.2

I had a very similar issue and it turned out to be related to git - visual studio 2017 has a bug , which breaks Intellisense if the git repository is cloned through WSL. So if you are using git, try to clone the repository through visual studio.

Ah, and, in case you didn't know, with VS2017 you can just open the cmake directory through the "Open folder" feature - no need to generate the project files manually anymore.
