Bug 115585

Summary:	Go To Source from Local Variables does not work

Description Alexander Pepin 2007-09-14 16:40:00 UTC

Steps to reproduce:
- create Welcome sample project
- do step into
- open Local Variables
- right-click on "argv", a context menu contains only one item "List Options" and does not contain "Go To Source", this
is a BUG
- expand "argv" local variable
- right on "argv[0]", a context menu now contains two items, that's OK
- select "Go To Source"
Result: Focus switches to the editor window to the current position (cout<<"Welcome ...\n";). It's unclear how it
connected to argv[0] and what's the use of just switching the focus to editor. Also please see above (Why argv and argc
do not have such items in their context menus).

Gordon's comment from IZ 103584: Gdb doesn't have this information. I need to see if code-assistance can provide it.

Comment 3 Alexander Pepin 2007-11-27 13:06:36 UTC

I would propose to remove this item from the LV node context menu until it becomes clear if it's possible or not to
implement a such feature.

Comment 4 Alexander Pepin 2008-02-05 13:31:50 UTC

In fact it's not a P2, the missed functionality is not crucial and it's implementation needs additional support from
code model that obviously will not be provided in 6.1. So I downgrade it to P3 but at the same time I still suggest
excluding "Go to Source" item from the context menu in 6.1 and then transforming this defect to enhancement.

Comment 5 Egor Ushakov 2008-02-26 17:57:42 UTC

item is removed from the menu as suggested,
changeset is:
http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/ce1a55b35bb6
issue is transformed into enhancement

Changing target milestone to future. This isn't going to be done in 6.1.
