IDE log

It appears code completion works for unsaved edits pertaining to local function variables, but class properties and methods do not appear.

e.g. 
class Test {
   public $savedProperty = '';  // property saved to disk
   public $unsavedProperty = ''; // new edit that has not been saved to disk

   function test()
   {
       $unsavedLocalVar = '';
       [edit insertion point]
   }
}

Typing "$un" shows "$unsavedLocalVar" in the code completion popup list.

Typing "$this->" shows $savedProperty but does *not* show $unsavedProperty in the code completion popup list.

I just went back to NetBeans IDE 7.1.1 (Build 201203012225) ... it works properly. Too bad since 7.2 added many nice features and 7.3 looks promising.

Please let me know if I can check anything to help track down this problem.

Sorry, I tried it in todays 7.3 dev and it works properly for me. If I add a field, don't save the file and invoke CC after $this-> the field is suggested. Sorry.

You can try fresh instal of the latest dev build (fresh I mean without any import of old settings...clean userdir).

Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20121210-bdb4c521e003)
Java: 1.6.0_26; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 20.1-b02
Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.6.0_26-b03
System: Linux version 3.5.0-19-generic running on i386; UTF-8; cs_CZ (nb)

It works for me too ... for a while. And then it stops working unless I save the edits and force a "Scan". Marking this "Resolved - works for you" doesn't help improve Netbeans when the problem clearly exists *for me*. Please let me know what I can check to help fix the Netbeans bug.

Did you check your IDE Log to see if you have any "Missing READ-LOCK when accessing TokenHierarchy" entries? This may be an indicator of the underlying problem.

Before filing this bug, I deleted my userdir and cache to ensure it wasn't a problem. I have done this with each nightly since reporting this problem and I will report back if one of them fixes the issue.

BTW, how can I download Build 20121210? http://bits.netbeans.org/download/trunk/nightly/latest/ shows "NetBeans IDE Build 201212090001 Download" for me right now.

Since I'm not able to reproduce that and there are no exact steps to reproduce that, then I'm not able to do anything with that. Then it's "works for me". When we discover steps how to reproduce, then we can try to fix it. It may be caused by wrong setup of your sestem or whatever. But now, I never got the same issue in my ide, even if I work with it for minutes. My mates work with dev build for a whole day, and noone faced that issue either. So try to describe exact steps, so we can fix it.

> Did you check your IDE Log to see...

There is no such exception in the dev build. It has been fixed in HTML.

> BTW, how can I download Build 20121210?

It will be there tomorrow. Today I builded my own IDE from sources.

Code completion works for me too. I didn't find any problem with that after 30 minutes of testing code completion.

Thanks for great evaluation Martine.

Sorry. I didn't mean to upset anybody. I truly appreciate the great IDE and I only want to help. The Java skills of the Netbeans developers is truly amazing. Perhaps someday I'll feel a little more confident to download and compile Netbeans source code myself. Until then, I have to rely on others' expertise and the generousity of the community.

You didn't :) We would like to help everybody, but here we can't. But thanks for your work and interest!
