sslater IDE code assist null pointer
Is the code assist in Spring 09 IDE supposed to work for Lists?
In this code:
public class test {
String s;
List<String> ll = new List<String>();
public test() {
ll.
}
}
if I hit ctrl-space after the ll., I get a null pointer exception in eclipse. Should it work on lists?
It also looks like it handles content-assist on std objects, but not custom objects? (objects, not classes)
Thanks!
It's supposed to work, but you've encountered a bug. The code assist is only working correctly for collection types defined in method scope, not is class scope. The example below should work correctly. I have fixed this in the code base and it will be available as part of our upcoming patch release.
Content assist appears to be working correctly for CustomObjects, are you getting an exception in either the Force.com log or the PDE log?
public class test {
String s;
public test() {
List<String> ll = new List<String>();
ll.
}
}
No errors but I tested again and it does work. It think it just needs to be saved or started on a new line to kick the plugin. It acts like the code completion routines in your plugin somehow detect a change and calculates the possibilities based on certain conditions like new line, a save, etc... So if I modify an existing line, it doesn't "kick" the code completion to re-calculate the options. But if I type cleanly, it works fine.
Thanks!
