checkstyle ant task clickable console entry - checkstyle

I don't know much about eclipse, but one of my juniors asked this. We use checkstyles to scan our code. When we get an error, the file that errored shows in the console display. How do we setup checkstyle and eclipse so that you can click on the class name in the display and go to the file. An example of what we are seeing
[checkstyle] C:\Users\me\Code\RP40\cmcBL\src\main\java\com\foo\bar\client\ProductsDocumentResource.java:98:50: Must have at least one statement.
is there a way to make that clickable?

Use Eclipse-CS, the Checkstyle Eclipse plugin. This will make Checkstyle warnings appear in Eclipse in the 'Problems' view. There, you can click on the entry and it will take you directly to the corresponding line of code.

How do I solve 'Web Compiler found an error in compilerconfig.json'?

On trying to re-compile all files in a solution, using Visual Studio 2017, I get this uninformative error message:
Web Compiler found an error in compilerconfig.json
To begin with, there is more than one compilerconfig.json file in the solution.
Secondly, there is no indication whatsoever of what the error is, where it occurs (line number, for instance).
Any ideas how I can go about solving this?
In Visual Studio's Solution Explorer, right-click the compilerconfig.json file and click "Task Runner Explorer". In the left pane you will see "compilerconfig.json/all files", right-click on it and then click on "Run". You will see the details of the execution which, in my case, included the useful information about how to correct the error.
I was able to solve this issue for myself by using individual file compiling, instead of "All files".
I was getting a "Compiling successful!" message, but that didn't seem true because my compile file didn't contain my change. So here's what I did:
Open Window > Task Runner Explorer. In your left column, there is a task for "All Files". That's fine. Ignore it.
Compile your SCSS files individually. Do this by right clicking on each SCSS file in that list, and then Bindings > After Build. (Or add the task to whatever event you prefer. I chose After Build.)
Open any SCSS file in your project and add a test. I added something like #TEST2 {color: hotpink;} to my SCSS file.
Now when you save, your compiling takes a few seconds longer. Now open main.css and see if your change (#TEST2) exists in the file.
I just went through this and didn't find an easy way but I got past it.
My issue turns out to be a missing input file that was supposed to be compiled.
Method of attack:
Try to compile each compilerconfig.json file (right-click -> Web Compiler -> re-compile all files)
repeat until you find the file in question
Remove all data from this file and add entries in one at a time (or scan it to make sure your files are there, which ever fits your situation)
The root problem is that the Web Compiler didn't install successfully. I had the same problem as described in the other answers and went down a rabbit hole to figure out why I couldn't compile. Turns out I had to help the tool install itself. See this comment for details:
https://github.com/madskristensen/WebCompiler/issues/390#issuecomment-475427735
Once I did the steps listed in that comment, I able to both compile files again and was explicitly told by the tool which line of my SCSS had an error.
For an information:
I got the same error in VS2019 webcompiler. And I found a solution ie;
Project should be open as a "Web Site".
Do not open as a folder. This simple thing is solved my issue.

Playn HTML5 won't run from Eclipse

I am trying to run the Playn example projects. I followed every step in this guide to setup new Playn development environment and then this guide to run sample projects.
it seem to work fine but when I try to run the HTML5 version by right click and then going to Google-> GWT compile, nothing happens. I don't see the development mode view poping up to copy the address and paste it to web browser as the guide says. I just get the following in the console window:
Compiling module playn.showcase.Showcase
Compiling 1 permutation
Compiling permutation 0...
Compile of permutations succeeded
Linking into L:\playn-samples\showcase\html\war\showcase
Link succeeded
Compilation succeeded -- 35.187s
Beyond that nothing happens. If I right click and select run as-> web application, I get the pop out saying
Could not find any hosting pages in the project playn-showcase-html
Anybody know what am I doing wrong ?
What you got from the compilation was all good.
"Beyond that nothing happens." is okay.
When you right click on the "playn-showcase-html" project, select "Run As - (g) Web Application", you should get an output to the "Development Mode" tab as "http://127.0.0.1:8888/Showcase.html?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997".
If not, check if you have got the following folder structures under the "playn-showcase-html" project:
playn-showcase-html
|...
|--war
|--Showcase.html
|--WEB-INF
|--web.xml
As far as I know, you can't simply compile (GWT) and run the HTML version. This is because, the HTML version requires a local web server (such as jetty/tomcat) to host the files in order for the project to be 'run'. However, a simpler way around this would be to try using ant via Eclipse.
Window > Show View > Ant
Once the window appears (probably on a sidebar), right-click and select:
Add Buildfiles...
When the list of projects appear, expand the project by clicking the small arrow to the left of the project name in the list. Then select the ant build file:
build.xml
That will add the ant build file to your list of active build files.
Expand similarly to look at the ant tasks provided by the build file.
Double click on the appropriate task; in your case:
run-html
OR
Run ant directly on the command-line to get the same results.
In the current version of PlayN a jetty server is being started automatically. Right click on the xx-html project "Run As"->"maven install". This starts the GWT compiler, and starts a jetty server (default port is 8080), then you can run the HTML5 version by typing "localhost:8080" in yout browser.
I've also wrote a more detailed description about this on my blog getting started with eclipse and PlayN , maybe this could be interesting.

How to make Flashdevelop errors appear in Results Panel?

I am using Flashdevelop to build an Actionscript 3.0 game. It was originally a FlashIDE project but I decided to migrate the project to FlashDevelop. I also changed some asset and property names, as a result there were a lot of syntax error. The errors keep coming out in the Output Panel instead of Results Panel (is that normal) when compiled. I know that when I click errors in the Results Panel it will open and point the error in the Code Panel. I can't do that with errors in the Output Panel (I assume its normal). Is there something I can do to make the errors clickable ?
Even a simple error like this doesnt come out in the Results panel:
Loading configuration file H:\04 Noveline\03 GD\GD03\Folder (aaaa)\TEST\obj\MeccatomedinaConfig.xml
H:\FD(1)\TEST\src\Game.as(75): col: 3 Error: Access of undefined property sssss.
sssss
^
Build halted with errors (fcsh).
(fcsh)
afaik it's impossible to make output panel clickable. but you can press F10 to open program settings dialog and check if your results panel is disabled. and also disable output panel if it's really annoying)
The errors should appear in the results panel and the output panel. Make sure the results panel is open.
Remove parentheses from project path to workaround the issue.
(As Stucko & Markus von Broady wrote in comments.)
This issue is still around for FlashDevelop 5.1.1.1.
I have logged the issue here for ref:

How to see library name loaded with R6034 error?

I am getting R6034 error, but can't see the related library/executable since it's name is shortened (see the picture below). Is there any way I can see the full name?
Start task manager and go to the "Applications" tab. The popup should be in that list.
Right-click the window and choose "go to process". Task manager now jumps to the "processes" tab and shows the process that gives this message.
If you want to find out which DLL is causing the problem, open your executable in Dependency Walker. If the static analysis of Dependency Walker does not reveal the problem, profile the application in Dependency Walker and look at the profiling output.

How can I debug an Actionscript project in Flex builder?

I am trying to use Flex builder for the first time in years. I haven't used the "Run Application" option before, and when I do that now it tells me "Errors exist in required projects" and whether I should proceed. I would like to debug those errors.
Does anyone know how I can do that?
PS: When I click the "Debug" button, it does exactly the same thing. I don't see error output in the console views.
Ensure the Problems view is open (Window -> Show View -> Problems).
That will show you what compilation errors exist that need to be fixed before you can launch the project.
Yes, you will not be able to launch the program until you fix the compile-time errors.
Open the 'Problems' pane, fix compile errors, and then the program will run.
