@Cloudef:

When do you mean by "isn't working for me"? No able to oepn the program? Not able to compile?

If it's a compilation problem and you're using included files, open your project .dbpro file and check the include paths...there is a bug with the path computation. I already reported the problem to Hyrichter and he told me it will be fixed in the next release.

Regards,

Ulric

Just a few bugs I noticed:
#CONSTANT isnt highlighted, though it is in DBPro editor
Error line finding when multiple files are used and the project was initially created in the default editor, it goes to the wrong file quite often (i assume this is because you alphabetize the file list/order)

Features I would like to see:
A recent project list

Other than that, nice work, keep it up

Your IDE Rocks. There was one bug i noticed though. If you set "Trim trailing spaces" on, whenever you press the spacebar on an empty line, it give me an error. Other than that, its WAY better than the default IDE.

Hi,

Great IDE, I tested it on a project I started with Blue IDE and compatibility seems ok (project was not lost ) ...

However, I would like to make few remarks:
- Should it be possible to implement a multi line support as it is provided in the blue IDE. This function is very appreciable as it allows to cut long and so not clearly readble statements in more readable ones ?
- Should it be possible to add fold/unfold function for code blocks such as 'remstart ... remend', 'if ... else .... endif', 'function ... endfunction', and so on blocks ?

Once again, congratulations for your great work ...

Regards

Michel

Hi alls,

Additionaly a parsing function in order to perform a control of the variables declaration could be added.

I explain what I mean:
- as you know DB Pro does not need any variable decalaration, as, as soon as, a variables is used for the first time (i.e. without global or local declaration) its content is set to 0 or empty string. This can be an advantage but also a disadvatange as you can declare a variable (for example a global one) but in your program you mispell its name, meaning to DB Pro that it is a new variable. So at the end your program will not work correctly.

Example:
Global myGlobalVariable as integer
...
...
myGlobalVarable = 1225
...
...
result = myGlobalVariable * 2

In this case myGlobalVariable will be set to 0, and it is the myGlobalVarable variable that is set to 1225.
At the end result will be set to 0 due to a mispell erroron myGlobalVariable name.

Depending on your code, it can be very diffcult to find this kind of error, so a function to parse the code and warn about the different variables that have never been declared as Global or Local could be a great help for development and could be also a strong point for IDE enhancement.

Best regards

Michel

URGENT BUG FIX NEEDED!!!

Codesurge will no work with BlueGUI. It give this message before it even starts compiling: I/O Error 103. It is definitely an error with codesurge, because it compiles fine under the default IDE.

PS
This is the only serious issue I've ever found with this IDE, and really want to keep using it, so please fix it if your still working on this

Diggsey,
I seem to also remember you having other problems that no one else could duplicate. Are you sure your computer isn't fubar? I'd still like to know exactly what causes the error you are having though. That error means "File not open" in Delphi, so there is something wrong, but I'll need more info to track it down.

BTW,
CodeSurge is slowly coming out of it's coma. Be prepared for another fantastic update soon.

@hyrichter & @Diggsey:

I dont if you remember but I had that problem with my project when I started using CodeSurge...the reason was I have my included files in another directory not lying under the project directory.
(C:\Projects\MyIncludes and C:\Projects\MyProject). CodeSurge is messing up the file paths. You'll work around that problem editing manually your .dbpro file and making the include statement relative to the project path (../MyIncludes)

I hope this will help you!

Cheers,

Ulric

i've been using codesurge for a while now and i've never had any bugs at all. I was using blueIDE before but this just knocks the stuffing out of it. my new rpg that i've nearly finished might have a made in codesurge icon on it to thank you for this brilliant IDE.

I wanted to try out codesurge but as I start it I get three error messages:
1. Unable to locate DarkBASIC Professional Compiler!
2. Cannot find '\help\main.htm'. Make sure the path or Internet address is correct.
3. The operation was canceled by the user.
Anyone else experience this problem?

My DBPro cd was lost so I asked for a copy of the online version... maybe the registry location is different.

@hyrichter:

In addition to having the IDE look for the compiler and help files, it might be a good idea to give the users the option to point the location of the files in the event that it cannot find them.

hyrichter:
Can you make CodeSurge able to work without access to the system registry? These days I'm not coding on my own computer and I'm using a special account with special permission to make CS run. It's annoying because I must switch accounts depending on what I'm doing. So, it would be nice if when CS is run for the first time or if it can't find DBP there's a dialog window popping up where the user can browse for their DBP installation or choose tho have CS look for it automatically. And then CS stores the info in its ini-file.

That's one of the top priorities for the next update (whenever it happens to come about.) Ekko, you can read the posts a few pages back about making sure your registry has the correct path for your DBP installation.

Hyrichter, a select all is currently missing as well. That should be a very simple thing to do, and is useful for things like challenges where you post the source.
A harder thing would be to make it able to pass a commandline to another program that would change the code for you. (eg. a sort of plugins setup, so you could run an autoformatter whenever you want simply by clicking on a menu item.

I am glad to see CodeSurge is still alive and kicking. Even in its earliest stages, I thought it was impressive and Hyrichter, thanks for making it available.

I also hope that TGC will recognize what a good IDE is availble and take advantage of it.

Hyricher,
what version is the newest released yet?
if it is the one on the first page, i have a bug to report:

* when i edit the settings for the ide, save, and restart the application, the application loads up the default settings, as if it didn't save the new one.

and now some requests:
* F4 = compile (it's a pain streching my left hand that much to compile)
* be able to drag and drop the "included file" tabs (i like to have them in a specific order, the only way to do this now is to close all tabs and open them in the order i want them to appear).

Otherwise, great job!

edit:testing sig.

This is now my favorite IDE for dbpro. You sir are my new best friend.

Suggestions:

Intelligent undo is nice but I don't like to to undo changes done across multiple lines. For example, if I made a modification to one line and either by clicking the mouse or moving to a new line and modify there if I'm too quick this will be saved as a single action in the undo history. I would also like the option to turn this feature off.

Allow users to set the number of undo levels

Allow users to set ctrl-y as Redo.


Bug:

Access violation when hitting spacebar on an empty line.

Loading an icon in project explorer for one project will apply to all projects. If the same icon doesn't appear in that project's working directory it will error.

If you do add in plugin support, you could also send the data telling it where the cursor is, and what is selected.

Feature Request:

Toggle Breakpoint Option (Right Click Menu)
Code line bookmarks
Function names, types, labels & variables should be collected from all included DBA files (Now it works only for main DBA)
Select All, Invert Selected, Select None
And of course plugin DLLs which could be made in PureBasic or any other app that can produce Delphi compat files
Code window splitting frames (like BlueGUI and DefaultIDE)
#CONSTANT highlight in code window
Recent opened files list
If Editor Preferences window is closed (when colors are edited), and when you open it again your default colors are not shown in the preview window instead it uses default white-template colors. Also in color preview REM Comment background color changes are not shown correctly

If you can make this all, than this will be the best IDE out there for shure! But its already very cool tho it lacks features in few areas...

I like having my functions split between dba files. It alows me to organize my functions and find things more quickly from within the code explorer.

If there is a lot of people who like Mistrel likes it you can make an selected option for this. But I think that it indeed better to see and work with all functions and variables together not to make any same variable names and functions.

I have my code split up in many dba files and I don't use the code explorer at all, I prefer the project explorer. I'm not really sure what I would prefer could I choose to use either mode. But since I usually don't use the code explorer I guess for me it would be more usefull if I could find all my functions and labels in a single list.

When bringing up Replace (ctrl-r) it's not possible to tab to the second input box after filling in the first.

Also when calling up Replace again after doing a search the "Search for:" box will be highlighted but must be clicked with the mouse before anything can be typed in.

Actually, Oldby, it doesn't have it for user defined types. It only has intellisense for the DBP commands and any 3rd party commands that have a keywords file. I don't know if that will be in this next update or not, but it will get there eventually.

Is there a way to do a global search (search through all DBA files within a project) for a specific search string? Some of my projects get fairly large, spread accross 10 or 20 DBA files, and searching each one can be a pain in the behind. Any thoughts?

When updating older scripts that use massive amounts of reserved keywords it can be difficult to bring it up to date while keeping sanity.

A find/replace dialog that lists the whole line of all found terms in bold and a check box or double-click to replace would be a really, really nice feature. Or an intelligent replace to alleviate stress with scripts that fall under this category and use same names for both variables and types.
