jaPBe 3.13.4 [IDE for PB 4 and PB 5]

[nhokem]

I just updated to the latest version (3.7.8.655) and when I "run/debug" any program that has errors, jaPBe opens a new file with my code in it and highlights the error on this new file (the new file is named "PB_EditorOutput2.pb"). Now when I need to make fixes I have to close this file, then go back to my code and search for where it bombed (in other words, I'm spoiled by the IDE). (note: if there are no errors, the new file does not open and everything is like before).

Is there any way I can turn this off? I've checked the "preferences" dialog and can't find any options about opening code in a new file when there are errors...

Thanks!

It's a bug, because of the new feature (PB_EditorOutput2.pb is a copy of the original source file, and as it's filename is different, it's opened ...)
I will fix this.

Hi Gnozal,
i installed japbe on MS Vista with some strange results. First it seems not to find the location of purebasic, so i manually added the purebasic path.
Now everything looks fine, compiler is found. But if i compile a code, i only get "PBDebugger Error(...)". It is never the same error, sometimes 109, than 31, 32, 16, 78.
Any idea?

Hi Gnozal,

Maybe the registry entry is different. Could you post the location ?
(it's usually #HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\PureBasic.exe\shell\Open\command on NT based systems)
Or, jaPBe doesn't have the right to read the registry : check UAC.

But if i compile a code, i only get "PBDebugger Error(...)". It is never the same error, sometimes 109, than 31, 32, 16, 78.
Any idea?

Not really, I don't have Vista ...
Are you using PB4.0x or PB4.10(beta) ?
If PB4.0x, it's the PBCompiler that starts the debugger
If PB4.10, it's jaPBe that starts the debugger

Code: Select all

RunProgram(CompilerPath$ + "PBDebugger.exe", "-o " + #g + DebuggerOptionFile$ + #g, IncludeFullPath)

Anyway, check UAC ?
Did you install jaPBe in "Program files" ? If yes, try another location.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is not writable on Vista for a normal user, that is why there is a different location on this OS. Here is the code i use for Vista:

Code: Select all

      ; Funny, this is the exact same code as for Win9x, only with
      ; #HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead of #HKEY_LOCA_MACHINE ;)
      ;
      If RegCreateKeyEx_(#HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Classes\PureBasic.exe\shell\open\command", 0, 0, #REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE, #KEY_ALL_ACCESS, 0, @NewKey, @KeyInfo) = #ERROR_SUCCESS
        StringBuffer$ = Chr(34)+PureBasicPath$+"PureBasic.exe"+Chr(34)+" "+Chr(34)+"%1"+Chr(34)
        RegSetValueEx_(NewKey, "", 0, #REG_SZ,  StringBuffer$, Len(StringBuffer$)+1)
        RegCloseKey_(NewKey)
      EndIf
      
      If RegCreateKeyEx_(#HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\CLASSES\.pb", 0, 0, #REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE, #KEY_ALL_ACCESS, 0, @NewKey, @KeyInfo) = #ERROR_SUCCESS
        RegSetValueEx_(NewKey, "", 0, #REG_SZ,  "PureBasic.exe", Len("PureBasic.exe")+1)
        RegCloseKey_(NewKey)
      EndIf
      
      If RegCreateKeyEx_(#HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\CLASSES\.pbi", 0, 0, #REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE, #KEY_ALL_ACCESS, 0, @NewKey, @KeyInfo) = #ERROR_SUCCESS
        RegSetValueEx_(NewKey, "", 0, #REG_SZ,  "PureBasic.exe", Len("PureBasic.exe")+1)
        RegCloseKey_(NewKey)
      EndIf  

Also i realized that i forgot to announce two changes i made that might
be of intrest to you:

For the compiler communication, there is a new "SOURCEALIAS" command .
You can read about it in the CompilerInterface.txt included in the SDK for beta3

For the "-o" file when executing the debugger, i have added a new possible entry:

Code: Select all

PREFERENCES <filename>
  allows to set the full path for the PureBasic.prefs from which the debugger loads its options

Without the PREFERENCES entry, the debugger searches in the AppData dir like it did before.
I just needed to be able to specify a different one for debugging in admin mode
on vista, because this changes the current user for the debugger.

@Freak Thanks for the informations.


@DataMiner
1. jaPBe path problem :
Could you test the code below and see if it returns the PB installation directory ?

Code: Select all

Procedure.s GetPureBasicPath()
  Buffer$=Space(10000):BufferSize=Len(Buffer$)-1
  OutputDirectory$ = ""
  If GetVersion_() & $FF0000 ; Windows NT/XP 
    If RegOpenKeyEx_(#HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, "Applications\PureBasic.exe\shell\open\command", 0, #KEY_ALL_ACCESS , @key) = #ERROR_SUCCESS 
      If RegQueryValueEx_(key, "", 0, @Type, @Buffer$, @BufferSize) = #ERROR_SUCCESS 
        OutputDirectory$ = GetPathPart(Mid(Buffer$, 2, Len(Buffer$)-7)) 
      EndIf 
    EndIf 
    If OutputDirectory$ = "" ; for Vista ...
      If RegOpenKeyEx_(#HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Classes\PureBasic.exe\shell\open\command", 0, #KEY_ALL_ACCESS , @key) = #ERROR_SUCCESS 
        If RegQueryValueEx_(key, "", 0, @Type, @Buffer$, @BufferSize) = #ERROR_SUCCESS 
          OutputDirectory$ = GetPathPart(Mid(Buffer$, 2, Len(Buffer$)-7)) 
        EndIf 
      EndIf 
    EndIf
  Else ; The same for Win9x 
    If RegOpenKeyEx_(#HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\Classes\PureBasic.exe\shell\open\command", 0, #KEY_ALL_ACCESS , @key) = #ERROR_SUCCESS 
      If RegQueryValueEx_(key, "", 0, @Type, @Buffer$, @BufferSize) = #ERROR_SUCCESS 
        OutputDirectory$ = GetPathPart(Mid(Buffer$, 2, Len(Buffer$)-7)) 
      EndIf 
    EndIf 
  EndIf 
  ProcedureReturn OutputDirectory$
EndProcedure

2. PBDebugger Error
Even with Freak's information, I am not sure what the problem is ...
Does the error message come from jaPBe or from the debugger ?

[DataMiner]

@gnozal
1. yes, it returns the PB installation directory.

2. i can't believe it - it is gone... no debugger-errors any more ?!?
Good, i reinstalled everything in the meantime, but i did not do anything else like before. Strange ...

Thanks for your patience with me ...

Update

Changes :
- updated GetPBFolder() for Vista compatibility

[gnozal]

Update

Changes :
- added : extra linker parameters in project options ( F8 )
- changed : jaPBe is now compiled with a static scintilla library (scilexer.dll is not needed anymore)
Note : in the source, you can choose to compile with Scintilla static or dynamic (see jaPBe.pb).

I use Windows XP SP2 French version and i have trouble with JAPBE. Every time i open a subwindows and i want to quit this subwindows JAPBE freeze and i am obliged to break the process.

1. Only since the last update ?
2. What do you mean with 'subwindows' : new source file tab ?

I have been using jaPBe for a long time, but recently I have been experiencing a problem.
I am currently using the latest versions of jaPBe (3.7.9.662) and PureBasic (4.10B3).

My problem is that most PureBasic built-in procedures/keywords don't seem to be recognized - there's
no hint displayed with the procedure parameters.
They are listed on the "Proc" tab, which also makes me think that they aren't being recognized.

When jaPBe starts up, lots of definition files are loaded, including "PureBasic functions", so I don't understand what's going on.
Could I have messed up some entry in the jaPBe.pref file?

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated - I really want my jaPBe back!

No problem here, using jaPBe 3.7.9.662 and PB4.10b3 : all PB functions (and userlib functions) are colored, autocompleted and the tooltips are working.
Strange ...
You said 'most PureBasic built-in procedures/keywords don't seem to be recognized' ; is it most or all ? Could you be more precise ?
Did you try to rename jaPBe.pref so that jaPBe creates a new file ?
Does the same problem happen with PB4.02 (change Purebasic path in preferences) ?
