Vector size() marked as error by NetBeans: Unable to resolve Identifier

So I am working with some multidimensional vectors in C++ in NetBeans, and whenever I try to call the .size() method, NetBeans marks it in red and says "Unable to resolve identifier size.". However, it does recognise other vector methods such as .push_back(). The code compiles well though...

Here is my code:

#include <vector>
using namespace std;

typedef vector<int> int1D;
typedef vector<int1D> int2D;

int2D populate (int2D arg1, int arg2);

int main () {
    //Do stuff...
}

int2D populate (int2D grid, int gridSize) {
    int2D my_2d_array;
    //Here I fill my_2d_array...
    for (int x = 0; x < gridSize; x++) {
        for (int y = 0; y < gridSize; y++) {
            int value = grid[x][y];
            if (value == 0) {
                //get all coordinaes of values with 0
                int1D coordinates;
                coordinates.push_back(x);
                coordinates.push_back(y);
                my_2d_array.push_back(coordinates);
            }
        }
    }
    for (int x = 0; x < my_2d_array.size(); x++) {
        //do something
    }
}

Here is a screenshot of the error highlighting:

The C++ default standard needs to be changed to C++ 11, rather than default, which is from the previous answer. I'm somewhat doubtful that any actual relatively up to date C++ standard leaves these functions out of the definition, but I can't say for certain, and I'm not sure what standard they are referring to as "default".

That's just stupid. Netbeans seems to require a lot of coddling and fiddling just to make it build code that works great pretty much everywhere. I haven't had issues like these since about 2000

"Reparse Project" did not seem to do anything for me. The accepted answer from Rafayel Paremuzyan seemed to work initially but the errors returned. Instead, I found that the solution from https://stackoverflow.com/a/35025731/3389183 worked. The process is straightforward:

  1. Right click on the project and select Properties.
  2. Look at Code Assistance. Make sure C++ Compiler has "C++ Standard" set to "C++11" (or "C++14") and not just "Default". It may be necessary to do the same with "C Standard" for the C Compiler under Code Assistance.

I had exactly same symptoms, i.e. I had a vector defined, and it gave same error message "Unable to resolve identifier size", while it compiled succesfully.

Doing following helped:

Right click on the project->"Code Assistance" -> "Clean C/C++ cache and restart IDE"

Note: this is different from "RightClick on project"->"Code Assistance" ->"Reparse Project", which mentioned in several posts, but didn't help me.
