Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.0.1 (Build 201408251540) Operating System = Windows 8 version 6.2 running on amd64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_20 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.20-b23 Even though in the options (Team->Action Items) it says that .js files and files with the text/javascript MIME type are being searched for ToDo notes, Netbeans never seems to find any in my files (and I do have them). The application I work on is 65% Javascript, so the majority of my ToDo notes are in there. I'd really like to be able to use the Action Items window.
Can you please send a small sample project or steps to reproduce it? It works fine for me. Thanks
I can't reproduce if I make a new HTML5Application project (i.e., there it works), but if I make any other type of project (I have a Java Free-Form project for my web application with a Java based backend server) I can reproduce 100%. So it seems it is related to the type of project?
Well it should depend just on the MIME type or extension of the file, but it is possible that project scanning in Java Freeform project somehow cause the problem. I will investigate it. Thanks for reporting
Did you find anything in your investigation? I also see this bug in version 8.1. It was also there in previous versions, but I've not been too bothered by it before, as most of my projects are not JS heavy. The current project I'm working on is a PHP project in Netbeans. What I have noticed is that the Action Items do show if I select "Show action items for currently selected file only", but not if I select "Show action items in PROJECT_NAME" or "Show action items for all opened projects". In the latter cases, only TODOs from PHP files show. The first option is obviously rather limiting! I hope this helps to narrow down the bug.
