stacktrace

With a lot of commenting out code, I found the culprit. To reproduce, add the following to a php class.


    public function testFailsOnExistingFile()
    {
        $tmp = new class(0, $a ? 1 : 2) {
            public function __construct($a, $b) {
            }
        };
        
        // <-- Start typing '$this' here
    }

So long as the anonymous class exists in the source, the autocomplete will throw the exception (it doesn't matter from which line).

Reporting of this error can be easily avoided by disabling assertions (which is the default in final versions of NetBeans so this error will not occur in NB 9.0 Final). Simply remove "-J-ea" from NB config file [1].

Thanks.

Thanks for reporting! I'll look at it.

@junichi11, did you manage to reproduce the problem with the code I gave?

Yes, reproducible. Thanks for providing it. This is a formatter's problem. I've already fixed it in my local environment. I'll push my changes tonight since I cannot watch build machines now.

Fixed.

Thanks.

Integrated into 'main-silver', will be available in build *201707201608* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress)
