I recently upgraded to 3.5 from 3.4. After a power outage I started getting the following warnings at startup: Line read:'' The following is from the ide.log *********** Exception occurred ************ at Tue Jul 08 08:45:09 EDT 2003 Annotation: Line read: ' ' java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: File name element is missing. at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.caching.VcsCacheFile.readFileCa cheName(VcsCacheFile.java:111) [catch] at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.caching.VcsCacheDir.readChildNa mesFromDisk(VcsCacheDir.java:536) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.caching.VcsCacheDir.readDirFrom Disk(VcsCacheDir.java:770) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cache.CacheDir.getSubDirs (CacheDir.java:122) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.caching.VcsCacheDir.populateWit hLocal(VcsCacheDir.java:376) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cache.FileSystemCache.loadDir (FileSystemCache.java:197) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.caching.VcsCache.loadDir (VcsCache.java:256) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.caching.VcsCache.getCacheFile (VcsCache.java:317) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cache.CacheHandler.getCacheFile (CacheHandler.java:237) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.caching.VcsFSCache.getFileOrDir (VcsFSCache.java:410) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.caching.VcsFSCache.readDirFromD iskCache(VcsFSCache.java:499) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.caching.VcsFSCache.readDirFromD iskCache(VcsFSCache.java:491) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.VcsFileSystem.children (VcsFileSystem.java:3082) at org.openide.filesystems.DefaultAttributes.children (DefaultAttributes.java:152) at org.openide.filesystems.AbstractFileObject.list (AbstractFileObject.java:75) at org.openide.filesystems.AbstractFolder.refreshFolder (AbstractFolder.java:627) at org.openide.filesystems.AbstractFolder.refresh (AbstractFolder.java:795) at org.openide.filesystems.AbstractFileObject.refresh (AbstractFileObject.java:708) at org.openide.filesystems.AbstractFileObject.refresh (AbstractFileObject.java:689) at org.openide.filesystems.AbstractFolder.check (AbstractFolder.java:531) at org.openide.filesystems.AbstractFolder.find (AbstractFolder.java:224) at org.openide.filesystems.AbstractFileSystem.findResource (AbstractFileSystem.java:151) at org.netbeans.modules.web.context.WebContextLoader.isWebAppli cation(WebContextLoader.java:151) at org.netbeans.modules.web.context.ProjectViewManager.register WebContext(ProjectViewManager.java:104) at org.netbeans.modules.web.context.ProjectViewManager.run (ProjectViewManager.java:83) at org.openide.util.Task.run(Task.java:136) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Task.run (RequestProcessor.java:328) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Processor.run (RequestProcessor.java:670)
Created attachment 10886 [details] Screenshot of warning
I am using ClearCase VCS. I get about 8 of the popups at startup.
This is a problem with corrupted cache files on disk, that store file status information. This is something that should be perhaps more hidden from the user. The cache files will be repaired by the refresh of the affected folder. So perhaps no warning should be presented and the file status cache should behave like when the cache file is missing. In that case it would run refresh automatically to repair the cache file. Scheduling to NetBeans 4.0.
Issue #32089 on which this depends on is scheduled for promotion D, therefore changing the target milestone to promotion D (4.0).
I think this is rather P4 then P3. As such it will be fixed by caching system redesign.
This codebase is dead, replaced by new implementation.
