Description
Dave Orme
You know, this really probably should be marked a blocker since we really shouldn't ship with a major feature like this so totally broken. More info: I've checked my preferences to make sure that content assist is turned on, and it is. Also, I don't get any content assist when I hit period and pause or when I hit ( and pause either. But Organize Imports works and the compiler is working. I observed this behavior immediately upon launching RC2 the first time (this morning). Can neither reproduce with my dev workspace nor a fresh workspace using 3.2 RC2. I assume that 'Text' and 'SWT' are already imported, right? Make sure you installed 3.2 RC2 into an empty directory and not over an existing install. In addition, check your access restriction settings on the build path and content assist. If you still see this please provide more detailed steps to reproduce. (In reply to comment #2) > Can neither reproduce with my dev workspace nor a fresh workspace using 3.2 > RC2.

Please elaborate and I'll be glad to check. > If you still see this please provide more detailed steps to reproduce. Okay. Please let me know what you mean by access restriction settings. Hmmmm.... If you're talking about plugin access restrictions, we've seen a intermittant bug in 3.1 that persists in the 3.2 builds where when you start Eclipse, 2/3 of the projects (in a fairly large workspace; ~30 medium to large projects) show up with access restriction errors where there really are none. The only way to clear this error is to choose "Window | Preferences | PDE | Target Platform", then toggle the "Target Platform" from our custom target platform to the IDE's platform, hit Apply, then toggle it back to our custom target platform and hit Apply or OK. We haven't reported the bug because we can't figure out how to reproduce it reliably, but a full build of our workspace requires several minutes so this is highly annoying. Maybe this is related though? Maybe my description will trigger another idea for something we could try to make either or both bugs reproducable so you can fix them? Thanks. Reopening because if this is happening to me, it will probably happen to other people. And I really don't think we should ship if there's any possibility that significant numbers of folks could wind up with an Eclipse that doesn't do content-assist. :-) IMO, the current strategy should be to open a dialog between us to figure out how to make this reproducable for you so it can be fixed. Because this is so serious, I'm willing to help as much as possible. Check the following: 1) code assist preferences: is "Hide forbidden references" checked? If so, does the bug go away if you uncheck this? 2) open the file's project's Java Build Path settings and switch to the 'Libraries' tab: are there any access restrictions? If so which ones? Also, the next time you see it, check in the Problems view whether there are problems on the project or the MANIFEST.MF. (In reply to comment #6) > Also, the next time you see it, check in the Problems view whether there are > problems on the project or the MANIFEST.MF. None. (In reply to comment #5) > Check the following: > 1) code assist preferences: is "Hide forbidden references" checked? If so, > does the bug go away if you uncheck this? It doesn't go away. > 2) open the file's project's Java Build Path settings and switch to the > 'Libraries' tab: are there any access restrictions? If so which ones? I have Plugin Dependencies, JRE System Library, and JUnit. The first two say "Access rules: no rules defined" JUnit says, "Access rules: (no restrictions)" David, any idea? Would it be possible to attach the project that let's us reproduce the problem or provide steps that start with a fresh download and workspace? I cannot reproduce the problem using 3.2RC2.
- Do you reproduce the problem in a simple java project with a simple test case ?
public class Test {
Obje| // do ctrl+space at cursor location
}
- Content assist doesn't work at all or there is some locations where it works ?
- A question which is the same as Daniel in comment 9 ;-) : Would it be possible to attach the project that let's us reproduce the problem
or provide steps that start with a fresh download and workspace?
Okay; I created a minimal workspace that exhibits the bug (one project, one package, one compilation unit) and tried to attach a gzipped tarball of it but Bugzilla said that the attachment was too big. I can't access my web server from here so can I email it to one of you? (It's between 5 and 6 megs). Please send it to David and myself with a note that you send this under EPL. Dave, could you please send us the code? As soon as I get in this morning. :-) OK; I got it up on my web server. That's better than email. :-) http://www.coconut-palm-software.com/~djo/test.workspace.tgz Thanks. I can reproduce with this workspace but some kind of completion are disabled in preferences. In the preference page 'Preferences>Java>Editor>Content Assist>Advanced' the following options are enabled by default: 'Other Java Proposals', 'Template Proposals' and 'Type Proposals'. In you workspace only 'Template Proposals' is enabled. If i enable the missing options then completion works. With a fresh workspace all the options are correctly enabled. All seems to works correctly. Dave, could you confirm my diagnosis or there is something else ? (In reply to comment #17) > With a fresh workspace all the options are correctly enabled.

I'm wondering how those preferences got switched (I haven't messed with those prefs any time recently). If it happens again, I'll reopen. Did you install and uninstall Mylar by chance? See bug 140416 then. (In reply to comment #19) > Did you install and uninstall Mylar by chance? See bug 140416 then. Yup; that's it. I normally run using Mylar (including in this workspace) but haven't installed it yet in 3.2RC2. So it's also an upgrade story problem, not just an uninstall story problem. Suggest this bug be resolved as a duplicate of bug 140416...? . *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 140416 *** |
