My task list pad is filled with old //Todo comment tasks that have been parsed out of the code. Unfortunately the files they refer to have long since gone and the tasks are hanging around like zombies. Deleting each task simply throws an error that the file is missing. How can I manually force a complete cleanout of the tasks list so it can reparse? I had a quick look at the source code for this part of MD but I didn't see anything obvious.
I'd suggest you file a bug.
However, for a quick workaround, try deleting the code completion database caches. On Mac you can find them in ~/Library/Caches/MonoDevelop-3.0/DerivedData, and on Windows they're in AppData\Local\MonoDevelop-3.0\Cache\DerivedData.

I've just installed this library. PhpStorm does its usual code completion, except for the \XeroAPI\XeroPHP\Api\AccountingApi class. The \XeroAPI\XeroPHP\Api\IdentityApi class in the same folder works just fine.
The file is quite big - 2,560KB. If I delete roughly half of the 65,000 lines from the class (and it works whether it's the first half or the second half) then I get my code completion back. In fact, I can delete just the last 3,000 or so lines (getting the file down to 2,499KB) and it works.
I've also tried a quick regex find/replace to remove all the #throws PHPDoc comments. This got the file down to 2,491KB and hey presto, code completion works fine.
If I had to make a guess I'd say it's not doing code completion with source files over 2.5MB or something, but I can't find any setting for this.
Any way to get code completion going with this file short of deleting stuff from it (which will be restored next time I do a Composer update anyway)?
Based on your info (especially the mentioned file size and the fact that it starts to work after reducing it) you have hit a limit of max file size that IDE is willing to parse and index.
Solution: configure idea.max.intellisense.filesize option using Help | Edit Custom Properties command. By default it has a value of 2500 (size in KB). Set it to 3000 or so (to cover your file size) and restart IDE (it reads and applies settings from idea.properties file on start only).
idea.max.intellisense.filesize=3000
P.S. Do not put that value too big as it may cause other performance issues.
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.
I have been asked to update a system where header information gets injected into a tif via a 3rd party console application. I don't need to worry about that bit.
The part I have been asked to look at it the merge process that generates the header information.
The current file generated by the process is assumed as correct, before I make any changes, so I want to add this as an approved result, from that I can then check that the changes I make will alter the file as expected.
I thought this would be a good opportunity to look at using ApprovalTests
The problem I have is that for what ever reason the links to the videos are considered corruptible (Possibly show me kittens jumping into boxes or something, which will stop me working, which ironically means I slow down my work done because I cannot see any help videos).
What I have been looking at is the Approvals.Verify and Approvals.VerifyFile extensions.
But what appears to be happening is confusing me.
using VerifyFile creates a received file, but the contents of the file are just a line the name of the file I have asked it to verify.
using Verify(new FileInfo("FileNameHere")) does not appear to generate the received file that I need to flag as approved, but the test does return saying that it cannot find the approved tif file.
I am probably using VerifyFile completely wrong and might be looking at using Verify wrong as well.
useful info?
Might be useful to know, that as this is a legacy application, running as a windows service, I have wrapped the service in a harness that allows me to call the routines, so the files are physically being written elsewhere on the machine outside of my control (well there is a config, but the return of the service I call generates a file in a fixed location if it is successful). I have tried copying that into the Unit Test project, but that doesn't appear to help.
Verify(File) and VerifyFile(string) are both meant to verify an existing file. As such they merely setting the received file to the file you pass in. You will still need to move/approval/create the approved file.
Here is the pseudo code and process.
[UseReporter(typeof(DiffReporter), typeof(ClipboardReporter)]
public void TestTiff()
{
string tif = YourProcessToCreateTifFile();
Approvals.VerifyFile(tif);
}
[Note: if you don't have an image diff installed, like TortoiseDiff, you might want to use the FileLauncherReporter]
Run this, once you get the result, move the file over by pasting your clipboard into a cmd window.
It will move the temporary tif to your test directory with the name ClassName.TestTiff.approved.tif
After that the test should pass until something changes.
Happy Testing!
I'm relatively new to batch commands and have been learning steadily. My problem is like this:
I've understood how to kill processes using batch commands using many different methods. However, I've been unable to figure out how to close a single tab in, preferably, chrome.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
So, I suppose I should state my exact problem.
I'm using notepad++ as my LaTeX compiler and sending the final pdf to chrome. The reason: I usually have ~20 tabs open related to the project I'm working on and it just makes my work much easier to split my screen between notepad++ and chrome.
My current batch file compiles the LaTeX code and sends the compiled document to chrome as a new tab. For obvious reasons, i don't want to close a tab each time I compile, so I thought that closing the current tab at the same time during compiling would solve my problem. But, I just can't find a way to get my batch file to only close the tab with my compiled pdf.
Thanks in advance!
check all running chrome instances/tabs with :
wmic process where "caption='chrome.exe'" get
and see processes properties.Probably the best indicator that you can rely on in this case is CreationDate (other properties are basically the same for all chrome instances) - it always comes in format YYYYMMDDHHmmss.ms and is easy for string comparison.But you'll have to know the time when it was started.
I am porting over an MSBuild script from CCnet to run in Jenkins. The MSBuild project is used to create a deployment package. I would rather have Jenkins drive this process itself but that's a longer term aim.
The problem i am having is (as in the title) when we try and use the HgPull target, from the MSBuild mecurial task (http://msbuildhg.codeplex.com/) we get the error message
HgProcessException: The command hg.exe is not available [Path to project]
I have seen on the project web site that someone solved it by adding the LibraryLocation proeprty to the target but that seems to have made no difference. My target currently looks like this:
Target Name="UpdateSources">
<HgPull
LibraryLocation="C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\hg.exe"
Force="true"
Update="true"
LocalPath="$(SourcePath)"
/>
<HgUpdate
LibraryLocation="C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\hg.exe"
Clean="true"
LocalPath="$(SourcePath)"
/>
I'm rather at a loss. Please let me know if you need any more information added to this post to solve this issue. I'm really quite new to MSBuild so really not sure where to start investigating this.
EDIT:
One thing i forgot to mention was that i have tried running the MSbuild command in a console window on the build server and still get the same result. This is really odd given it works fine in CCNet, what magic is CCNet doing to make this command work?
This is now resolved, unfortunately i'm not sure what changes i made to correct these. I believe it may have been down to path separators and whether they where trailing or not in another part of the config file. It does so annoy me with the lack of resilience/consistency between applications where you need to specify paths with/without trailing slashes.
Just a thought, but try adding 'C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg' to your system path. Maybe CCNet has it specified somewhere that Jenkins doesn't have access to.
Also, just for sanity's sake, verify that hg.exe actually exists at that location.
