generic network problems
I attached screenshots with user notification (since 7.3) when some problems found. Maybe it might be more highlighted... Jiri, thank you for your quick feedback. I can see two problems with the reporting as presented in the JUnit installation failed screenshot: - Installation should not be considered completed successfully because IDE is broken and will not start successfully; - In my case described above it was not possible to use Plugin Manager to re-install broken JUnit because the only active function for the module was (not working) Activate button. The only straightforward way out was complete re-installation of the IDE. Maybe the simplest and sufficient solution would be: - replace the text "Installation completed successfully" with something like "Problems occurred during installation process. See messages below for details." in case of problems and - in case of JUnit failure replace "use Plugin Manager to install JUnit library later." with something like "Try uninstall and re-install the IDE later." or so. One more comment: Most probably, the unavailability of JUnit module un-installation option was caused by permissions of non-elevated run of the IDE under Windows. If the IDE would be run in elevated (admin) mode, re-installation of the Junit module would be most probably possible. |
