Was CR 6322910 While analyzing edit/compile/debug flow scenarios it occured to me that when starting to debug the user should be warned that there are pending "fix"es (if there are any) and be asked if they want a rebuild, _even_ if they have unchecked the build-before-debug toggle in the configuration. To that end a configuration should contain a "pending-fixes" flag. *** (#1 of 1): 2005-09-12 15:44:11 PDT ivan.soleimanipour@sun.com Was CR 6317809 scenario: User is debugging and applies a bunch of fixes. They finish their debugger session, debug something else and come back to debugging this. They have marked BuildFirst as false so none of their bpts are valid, nor are their fixes applied as they start debugging again; suggested remedy: Have a project track pending fixes. When debugging is initiated and BuildFirst is consulted and it's false but there are pending fixes, give the user a second chance to rebuild before proceeding with debugging. This is similar to dbx "re-fixing" when you issue 'run'. This notion can be generalized to a project being "dirty" causing the rebuild query even if BuildFirst is false. But that would preclude the dialog that is presented ot the user from informing them why a build is recommended. *** (#1 of 1): 2005-08-30 14:10:47 PDT ivan.soleimanipour@sun.com
not sure if we need this anymore. Pls reopen if we do....
I'm not on the cc list so how was I supposed to reopen this? of course we still need this, or something like it.
It would be good and user friendly to have a notification dialog with a checkbox "do not show this dialog again" warning a user in case the "Build First" option is off. It will also have to have an option in project properties to switch on/off this dialog.
It's rather an enhancement so I convert it to enhancement.
Asking for functionality that doesn't exit doesn't automatically make something be an RFE. This is a design flaw in the integration of Fix and Continue and the rest of the IDE. W/o this being fixed and under the Start model the user is very likely to rerun their application and not see the effect of their their latest code changes. This will seem to the user as a bug and that is what matters.
from correspondence with Ivan, apepin wrote: ...it's rather a technical issue and as I understand you do not need a dialog with request, you just need a "pending-fixes" flag in project system or elsewhere. Is it correct? Probably we need to change issue summary in appropriate way to make more clear what the issue is about.
This one does not look to be cnd specific. It is probably better to transfer it to some more generic category. Java has the same problem.
It also does not look as must "fix-in-65"
I agree ... that's why it's a P3.
reassign to evaluation
this has nothing to do with "openide". If I understood it correctly then it is about the "Apply Code Changes"? Or is it something CND specific? Or do you just need a dialog to be shown? Thne it is up to your code to show it in the right time... Anyway, reassigning to debugger maybe they will know what is it about. Please evaluate.
Hasiku, if you do not think this belongs to your component, move it back where it came from with request for better specification what this is about. "Build First" is an option of CND project.
