I'm working with a large json file.
This json has been parsed by myself using Python, and (as a result) there are some json validation errors at different points in the file. I want to identify these errors in order to improve my Python parser.
Sublime text (2) helpfully highlights in pink formatting errors in the json, however working my way through 70,000,000 lines of json to find these errors is somewhat challenging.
Is there any way to skip to pink highlighted errors in the json?
(Note: the json file is sufficiently large that trying to use an online validator for example is not possible)
Thanks!
This can be done in a fancy way using a plugin, but for your purposes probably the best way is to just enter a command into the console. Open your JSON file with errors in it, then open the console with Ctrl`. Paste in the following code and hit Enter:
view.show_at_center(view.find_by_selector("invalid.illegal")[0])
and the view will scroll to show the first error in the file. Fix that error, click back on the console entry line, hit the up arrow to bring back the command you just ran, and hit Enter again, and it should scroll to the next error, and so on. When there are no more errors, you'll get IndexError: list index out of range printed to the console, and the view won't scroll any more.
While this will work in both Sublime Text 2 and 3, I strongly urge you to upgrade to ST3 if at all possible. ST2 has been shelved and deprecated, and there will be no more bug fixes released. Development is now focused solely on ST3 (as well as being in the planning stages for ST4!). "I don't know of any good reason to not use Sublime Text 3" - Will Bond, ST core developer.
There are a ton of new features and bug fixes in the new version, even if you're just using the public beta. (BTW, don't let the word "beta" fool you - the program is rock solid, and has been for years.) If you want more cutting-edge features, and are a registered user (which you should be if you are using the program long-term or for commercial purposes), you can download the dev builds which are updated more frequently, but run the slight chance of having an undetected bug or two.
One of the major advantages of ST3 is that it now supports a new, YAML-based sublime-syntax highlighting engine, which allows for much greater flexibility than the old .tmLanguage highlighting files (which are still supported). Related to that, the syntax files have all been open-sourced and development is proceeding very rapidly on them, even though it's been a few months since the last build was released.
Probably the biggest reason to upgrade is the plugin community. The internal Python API has been updated to Python 3 (3.3.6, to be precise), which had the side effect of making many old plugins incompatible. Except in a few rare cases, most plugins now support ST3, and many are dropping ST2 support by the wayside as it becomes too difficult to maintain two codebases, as well as trying to develop with the much more limited API ST2 provides. So, unless you absolutely depend on an old ST2-only plugin that can't be ported, upgrading is definitely the best path to take.
I've been trying to develop a system where an ms-access database comunicates with a brother ql-500 label printer to print a label based on data entered to a form, but for some reason, I am using the documentation for b-Pac, the "plugin" from brother created for this interfacing and i get a syntax error in ms-access, which leads me to think there might be some problem with the references. I checked and double checked and uninstalled the plugin and installed the plugin again, up to no solution...
My question here is, is there a way to check the references to see if it is the right file?
Im very new to access programming and this was asked to do in work...
EDIT: Over this one now, it was actually bad syntax, as i was refering to documentation from another version of the bPac plugin, it seems they have changed the syntax in one of the last versions...
Now i have another problem, a runtime error: -2147023782(800705a)
EDIT 2: i solved the problem, i uninstalled through control panel and then deleted remaining files manually and proceeded to install the b pac plugin again and it works now, thank you for your help though guys ;)
I am not sure if this is what you are looking for. I haven't worked with plugins so far.
In VBA window, go to : Tools > References
This should bring up the following window :
Check to see if your plugin is refered in there, or use Browse to locate and add it to the project.
Hope this helps.
I have been using Sublime for a few months with great enjoyment until yesterday when something was corrupted and I needed to reinstall.
Since I thought I had all the packages I used memorized, I didn't keep a backup and did a full uninstall/reinstall of the app and the application support folder.
One of the features I really liked was that if I pasted in copy from another source, like Word, all the characters like curly quotes, etc. would be highlighted in hot pink.
This is no longer working and I believe it must've been a package I installed and didn't realize it. It saves a lot of time if you have to convert text to HTML content.
Does anyone know what package that is or how to get that behavior back in ST2?
I have been all over Google and cannot figure out how this was working. My mistake for throwing my settings/packages away.
I recently wrote a plugin dedicated to this exact problem: highlighting non-ascii characters.
https://github.com/TuureKaunisto/highlight-dodgy-chars
The plugin works on a whitelist principle: all non-ascii characters that are not whitelisted in the settings get highlighted.
I think the package you're after is Highlighter. It highlights a few unicode characters in that hot pink you referred to. You can add more matches via settings (example).
Does anyone know how to get MySQL transactions working under Mono?
I'm using MySQL Connector/NET (via Subsonic 3) and it works perfectly under Microsoft .NET. Recently however I tried running the same site under Mono on Ubuntu and it almost works - except I can't seem to get transactions working.
Reading around the Mono/MySQL sites it's not exactly clear what is and isn't supported.
The original problem is a NotImplementedExcetion with call stack like this:
[System.NotImplementedException]: The requested feature is not implemented.
at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection.EnlistTransaction (System.Transactions.Transaction) <0x00181>
at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection.Open () <0x00381>
at SubSonic.DataProviders.DbDataProvider.CreateConnection (string) <0x00059>
at SubSonic.DataProviders.DbDataProvider.CreateConnection () <0x00015>
There's a few mentions of this on the MySQL site which seem to point to Mono not supporting the required infrastructure to make transactions work. There's also a comment that transactions work fine when using CommittableTransaction rather than TransactionScope. So I tried that, but got the same exception.
Another comment on the MySQL site suggested rebuilding the MySQL data provider with the MONO build option. Which I tried and the site now works, but transactions aren't being used - they've been simply disabled. Really?
I find it hard to believe that transactions can't be made to work in this environment, but can't find a working example.
Mono 2.6.7, MySQL Connection/NET 6.3.4, Subsonic 3, Ubuntu 10.10
Figured it out. It's TransactionScope that doesn't seem to work. Reverting back to DbConnection.BeginTransaction works fine. I've written up how to do it under Subsonic here: http://www.toptensoftware.com/blog/posts/18/using-transactions-with-mono-mysql-and-subsonic
I also had this problem with mono v.2.10.9 and mysqlconnector v. 6.6.5 and 6.7.2-Beta and I was unable to find a solution for this problem but now I figured it out.
First I took the sources of mysqlconnector and added them into my project folder. Thought it would work if I compile the connector directly with mono but it doesn't.
Then I stepped trough the code and I found that there are the following lines of code at line 530 in the file Connection.cs of the MySql.Data project:
#if !MONO && !CF && !RT
Console.WriteLine("### Should not be here... ###");
if (Transaction.Current != null && Settings.AutoEnlist)
EnlistTransaction(Transaction.Current);
#endif
The Console.WriteLine was added by me to try if it will also appear if I run my Application with mono and it appeared. So I commented this lines out and after that everything was working at this moment.
The real solution however should not be to comment out some lines of code.
For solving this you have to define the 'MONO' symbol.
If you are using MonoDevelop just right click on the project MySql.Data and select the compiler section. There you will find a textbox with the label 'define symbols' or something similar. Simply add the new symbol 'MONO' into this textbox.

What tweaks / addins / themes do you have rigged up to make your IDE awesome? For example, in Visual Studio I color themes, CodeRush draws lines between braces, I always install and use the Consolas font and I have it setup to sync my settings across computers for when I change hotkeys and whatnot with the help of FolderShare.
Also, this isn't Visual Studio specific, please feel free to mention what you do with Emacs or Eclipse or whatnot as many of us use a few.
ReSharper 4.1 for Visual Studio 2008. It's a beautiful thing. It looks for all kinds of code errors, optimizations, etc. My code is cleaner thanks to this handy Visual Studio plugin.
Optimizing the IDE will be the first step. Resharper helps a lot but sometimes some simple macros are more than enough.
First things first. Change the font from the default crappy one. Then start fiddling with the 'Options' dialog box.
At the recommendation of a friend, I installed Visual Assist for Visual Studio 2008 -- it is awesome. I swear it can read my mind.
[Note: I have no affiliation with them -- just a very happy customer]
I've done a lot, but I really shouldn't have. So in the last few years, I've toned down the number of macros, custom key mappings, custom toolbars, etc. For the most part, I'm of the opinion that developers should get used to the default behavior and appearance of their IDE. Then when you need to work on your colleague's machine, you still know how to get around and manage to help them out. Not to mention that a whole slew of customizations will get broken or rearranged or otherwise reset when an update comes out.
That said, there are a few things that I still do every time I set up an IDE to work on... for example, setting the number of concurrent builds in Visual Studio to be 1, because that feature is so broken that nothing will compile correctly with any greater setting. Apart from that, being an ace with the default behavior will ultimately make you more efficient than spending hours tweaking the software to make it just a little more fluid.
I like CodeSmart VB6 and CodeSmart VS.NET from Axtools http://www.axtools.com/
for advanced syntax highlighting, drawing lines between parts of If..then..else..endif, Do While ... loop and all other constructs. It also has great code auditors and many add-in functions.
Vi plugin!!
I use Emacs. My .emacs file is only a few hundred lines long, but does customize settings based on my machine's hostname and operating system, so that I can use the same config file pretty much anywhere.
Colorization - Custom - White Text on GreyishBlack, Consolas Font
HotKeys - CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+Z (Attach to Process) probably some others too...
Addins - DPack, Coderush, GhostDoc.
Toolbars Off
All Windows set to collapsed
I am not doing presentations with this machine - If I was it would be barebones.
eclipse plugins make my ide exactly the way I want it of course.
eclipse plugin central
I kinda like the default setup of VS, I only make sure about Consolas as the editor font, and tabsize 2 (tabs to spaces), and change the color of numbers (red).
For Java development using Eclipse I have a few plugins that are indispensable. The MyEclipse Workbench adds a lot of functionality to most of the built-in modules. It makes it very easy to deploy an application to multiple application servers, and enhances a lot of the built-in editors. The PMD plugin is great for searching for potential code issues. As mentioned in a previous post today, the Ganymede plugin really helps to highlight log entries.
I dont care much for fancy visual addons, so I left my IDE (Visiual Studio) in the standard look (other than MS Reference Sans Serif font).
I usually change the color scheme to have a black background instead of white.
I use the Zenburn color scheme with Proggy Clean for a font. It's like a comfy chair for my eyes.
Nothing. I hate dealing with all the breakages that inevitably result from updates, etc. So, I adapt myself to my IDE instead.
I've using a combination of ViEmu and ReSharper with a dark theme.
Oh, and I also hide most of the toolbars and turn off the animations to try to speed things up.
Silver background, 8pt Consolas, disable all toolbars and set tab spacing to 3 spaces. :)
For Visual Studio
Most important - Resharper - I bought my own copy so I don't have to badger my employer about it.
Change the colourisation/font - choose whatever suits you
Optimisation (vote up Gulzar's post with the link in it)
Don't try and make the IDE do everything, just because you can. (Kind of ironic seeing I use emacs as well). I personally really dislike integrated source code management.
Change some defaut file associations so double clicking certain file types doesn't kick off Visual Studio
Aside from Resharper I've actually found most other beneficial thing is not customising the IDE, but customising yourself to learn the keyboard shortcuts. Start with the big gains like Ctrl -, Ctrl Shift -, Ctrl Shift V, Ctrl Alt L etc. etc. and then gradually learn the rest of the shortcuts in order of how often you'd use them
Rather than customizing the IDE, I customized my error messages. I have a macro that expands to a #pragma warning statement that generates a compile-time message in the same format as MSVC++. Visual Studio can parse the resulting warning, so a double-click on the message opens the offending file in the IDE and takes me right to the line in question.
I've used the macro:
To "bookmark" a section of code, so developers will be nagged to fix it each time they build.
Within #if blocks to test for various compile-time conditions.
In headers, to see who #includes them, and where.
From vim you can set the makeprg (make program) variable to a command that will build your project, and the errorformat variable to a scanf-style string that describes the format of the build errors. From there:
:make will build your project
:cl lists all of the errors that match errorformat
:cc takes to you the current error
:cn takes you to the next error
:cp takes you to the previous error.
Out of the box, vim sets makeprg and errorformat to work with make and gcc, and all of the commands are documented within vim's built-in help.
I do Java development in Eclipse. Here are some of the plug ins I find useful:
Mylyn - hides project elements not relevant to the current context.
eUML2 - UML editor.
FindBugs - Static analysis tool to find common bugs in Java.
Crap4J - Another static analysis tool.
EclEmma - Code coverage plug-in for unit tests.
Edit: I forgot one:
Disable the spellchecker. :)
In visual studio 2005 I do these:
Bind F11 to fullscreen mode
Enable a vertical line at 80 characters: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Text Editor\Guides = "RGB(196,196,196) 80" (Guides won't be present in the registry.)
Add the "Start Debugging", "Break All" and "Stop Debugging" buttons after the "Help" menu.
I am using Vim Cscope plugin.
Cscope is like 'ctags' on steroids and makes traversing code much easier.
I usually use it along with tags to find where a function is declared and then go directly to whatever code is calling this function.
I also use Vim's Rgrep plugin (recursive search) to search for files in the code hierarchy.
Create some basic macro such as printing bug fix code comments:
Public Sub WriteBugFix()
Dim TS As TextSelection = DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection
TS.Text = "'Edited for Bug Fixed By JK - " & Date.Now.ToShortDateString
End Sub

Emacs makes an excellent IDE specifically because it can be greatly customized.
You customize Emacs by editing the .emacs file in your home directory. My .emacs is a symbolic link:
$ ln -s /home/bzimmerly/bin/emacs/emacs24/wbz.emacs.el .emacs
Since Emacs offers a variety of specialized major modes for program development and debugging, you can easily "roll your own" IDE design that works best for you. For example, when I'm programming in C or assembler, I like to have the left side running GDB mode, with the right side displaying the source being traced.
A little bit of LISP skill goes a long way to turning Emacs into a very powerful IDE. It is well worth the investment of time to learn how to use this powerful tool!
Finally, tools like Youtube are valuable places for learning how to do this. Just entering "Emacs as an IDE" on the Youtube search form will show videos of how people have modified Emacs for just such a purpose. There are videos on editing Python code, Javascript, Java, C, etc.
