How to hook into msbuild output - msbuild

I would look to hook into the output of msbuild (and/or dotnet build).
I've found a way of getting the text passed to the output window in Visual Studio. I can write a Visual Studio Extension (VSIX) that contains an IClassifier. If I add an IClassifierProvider like this:
[ContentType("output")]
[Export(typeof(IClassifierProvider))]
public class MyClassifierProvider : IClassifierProvider
{
public IClassifer GetClassifier(ITextBuffer textBuffer)
{
return new MyClassifer();
}
}
Then in the MyClassifier:
public class MyClassifier : IClassifier
{
public IList<ClassificationSpan> GetClassificationSpans(SnapshotSpan span)
{
// I will get the build output here, line by line
}
public event EventHandler<ClassificationChangedEventArgs> ClassificationChanged;
}
So I can get the build output in the GetClassificationSpans method, but it means I need to return a classification of the line. I'm not interested in this. I just want to capture the build output and do something else with it. For example, I could want to write all warnings to a file.
This makes me wonder if the IClassifier route is the way to go.
I thought I could hook into some Roslyn API, but from what I read, this is useful to analyze the code. What I want is to get the complete build output, with all statements (i.e. what you see in the Output window).
So now I'm looking at writing a VSIX, but don't think IClassifier is my best option.

Plugin that runs tests based on file of user

I am developing a Plugin for IntelliJ for teaching purposes, where students write some code and the teacher can write tests and the students can run those tests and see if they are doing it all correctly. It would be great if I would get the file the user is writing in as a java class so that I can run the functions of that class from within another function and test it as if I would have written it.
What I have as of now:
In the Main Toolbar I have a button, where the students should be able to run the tests. I have a class that extends AnAction, now I have no Idea what I should write in it:
#Override
public void actionPerformed(AnActionEvent e) {
}
I have been going through the IntelliJ documentation for some time now and as by now I do not get any further. I sure hope that the experienced developers that can be found here can manybe give me a hint or two.
Thanks a lot in advance :)
If I understand correctly, the students would be programming within a project within IntelliJ?
Then you can get the path to the project that they are working on using the AnActionEvent event.
Project project = event.getProject();
String projectBasePath = project.getBasePath();
You could use this to send the entire src folder to your computer and do what it is that you need to do there?
But, it also sounds like you would want the students to run the test functions on their side via the plugin. In that case, one option that I know of is to again use the project.getBasePath(), or get them to select a file using a GUI, and then use ProcessBuilder to compile, run, test, etc their Java classes. You can run any Windows / shell command this way and pipe the output into the IDE, or your own tool window.
public void actionPerformed(AnActionEvent event) {
Project project = event.getProject();
String projectBasePath = project.getBasePath();
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder();
pb.directory(projectBasepath);
pb.command("cmd", "/k", "javac src\*.java")
pb.redirectErrorStream(true);
Process process = pb.start();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(newInputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
int exitCode = process.waitFor();
System.out.println("\nExited with error code : " + exitCode);
... // anything else you need to do
}
Let me know if this makes sense - maybe I can help you out more if you give me more specific questions.

Howto tell PowerBuilder to pass options to a JVM when starting?

What I want to do?
I want to create and consume java objects in PowerBuilder and call methods on it. This should happen with less overhead possible.
I do not want to consume java webservices!
So I've a working sample in which I can create a java object, call a method on this object and output the result from the called method.
Everything is working as expected. I'm using Java 1.8.0_31.
But now I want to attach my java IDE (IntelliJ) to the running JVM (started by PowerBuilder) to debug the java code which gets called by PowerBuilder.
And now my question.
How do I tell PowerBuilder to add special options when starting the JVM?
In special I want to add the following option(s) in some way:
-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005
The JVM is created like following:
LONG ll_result
inv_java = CREATE JavaVM
ll_result = inv_java.CreateJavaVM("C:\Development\tms java\pbJavaTest", FALSE)
CHOOSE CASE ll_result
CASE 1
CASE 0
CASE -1
MessageBox ( "", "jvm.dll was not found in the classpath.")
CASE -2
MessageBox ( "", "pbejbclient90.jar file was not found." )
CASE ELSE
MessageBox ( "", "Unknown result (" + String (ll_result ) +")" )
END CHOOSE
In the PowerBuilder help I found something about overriding the static registry classpath. There is something written about custom properties which sounds like what I'm looking for.
But there's no example on how to add JVM options to override default behavior.
Does anyone have a clue on how to tell PowerBuilder to use my options?
Or does anyone have any advice which could guide me in the right direction?
Update 1
I found an old post which solved my initial issue.
If someone else want to know how it works take a look at this post:

Hi, you need to set some windows registry entries.
Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sybase\Powerbuilder\9.0\Java, there
are two folders: PBIDEConfig and PBRTConfig. The first one is used when
you run your application from within the IDE, and the latter is used
when you run your compiled application. Those two folders can have
PBJVMconfig and PBJVMprops folders within them.
PBJVMconfig is for JVM configuration options such as -Xms. You have to
specify incremental key values starting from "0" by one, and one special
key "Count" to tell Powerbuilder how many options exists to enumerate.
PBJVMprops is for all -D options. You do not need to specify -D for
PBJVMProps, just the name of the property and its value, and as many
properties as you wish.
Let me give some examples:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sybase\PowerBuilder\9.0\Java\PBIDEConfig\PBJVMprops]
"java.security.auth.login.config"="auth.conf"
"user.language"="en"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sybase\PowerBuilder\9.0\Java\PBRTConfig\PBJVMconfig]
"0"="-client"
"1"="-Xms128m"
"2"="-Xmx512m"
"Count"="3"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sybase\PowerBuilder\9.0\Java\PBRTConfig\PBJVMprops]
"java.security.auth.login.config"="auth.conf"
"user.language"="en"

But now there's another issue...
PB isn't able to create EJB Proxies for my sample class which is really simple with java 1.8.0_31. They were created with the default version, which is 1.6.0_24.
public class Simple
{
public Simple()
{
}
public static String getValue()
{
return "blubber";
}
public int getInt32Value()
{
return 123456;
}
public double getDoubleVaue()
{
return 123.123;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println(Simple.getValue());
}
}
The error is the following. :D
---------- Deploy: Deploy of project p_genapp_ejbclientproxy (15:35:18)
Retrieving PowerBuilder Proxies from EJB...
Generation Errors: Error: class not found: (
Deployment Error: No files returned for package/component 'Simple'. Error code: Unknown. Proxy was not created.
Done.
---------- Finished Deploy of project p_genapp_ejbclientproxy (15:35:19)
So the whole way isn't a option because we do not want to change the JAVA settings in PB back and forth just to generate new EJB Proxies for changed JAVA objects in the future...
So one option to test will be creating COM wrappers for JAVA classes to use them in PB...

CodenameOne TestRecorder How-To run test

because I think I recommend CodenameOne to be used for development I try to investigate deeper into it. I just tried out the Test Recorder which generated a test class.
Now my question: How-to use this test class? Do I have to call the test method from the existing UI code using e.g. a button to start it?
Generated code:
public class RegisterUserATest extends AbstractTest {
public boolean runTest() throws Exception {
clickButtonByName("Register");
keyPress(16);
keyPress(65);
waitFor(112);
keyPress(65);
setText("Name", "A");
keyPress(16);
keyPress(65);
waitFor(113);
keyPress(16);
waitFor(1);
keyPress(97);
setText("Email", "");
setText("Password", "A");
clickButtonByName("Register");
return true;
}
}
I think the solution is very easy but I cannot see it.
If this is on NetBeans right click the project and select "Test". On IntelliJ/IDEA it's under Codename One -> Run Tests.
Notice that the latter has a bug in it that will be fixed in the release coming tomorrow (October 7th 2016).

How can I target a test in the _before() hook

I have a Codeception cest file which has a number of tests in it.
In some of the tests, there are initializations which I would like to so in the _before() hook. These initializations are specific to those tests only and to no other test in the cest file.
How can I go about this?
The pseudocode would be something like
public _before($event)
{
if ($event->test_being_run == 'testThatFeature')
{
$init = something(here);
}
}
Through investigation, I have realized that the $event variable passed into the _before() hook is an instance of the generated AcceptanceTester; as opposed to \Codeception\Event\TestCase. So I cannot use the hopeful $event->getTest()->getTestFullName().
Codeception injects parameters based on type hinting.
If you want to get \Codeception\Event\TestCase, your code must look like this:
public _before(\Codeception\Event\TestCase $event)
All information that I found about receiving testcase in _before method, was about _before method of modules and extensions, it does not apply to tests.
If you want to run specific code for one test, just run it in the test code.

Get pluginId stored in the IPreferenceNode in Eclipse

I am developing a plugin, in my plugin I want to get another plugin ID. I use the following code:
PreferenceManager pm = PlatformUI.getWorkbench( ).getPreferenceManager();
List<IPreferenceNode> list = pm.getElements(PreferenceManager.PRE_ORDER);
String pluginid;
// restoreDefValues("org.eclipse.ant.ui");
for(IPreferenceNode node : list){
the code to find the node related to the plugin;
}
When I debug the program, I can clearly see that in variable node(IPreferenceNode), it has the value of the pluginId. However, I check the document of IPreferenceNode, it seems that the neither IPreferenceNode nor the class PreferenceNode, provide a method to return the value of pluginId. I tried node.toString() as well, couldn't get the pluginId. So what should I do? Is there any other ways to get a plugin ID from another plugin?
Preference nodes created using the org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages extension point will actually be instances of org.eclipse.ui.internal.dialogs.WorkbenchPreferenceNode. The super class of this (WorkbenchPreferenceExtensionNode) contains the plugin id.
These classes are internal so you should not try to use them directly. However they implement org.eclipse.ui.IPluginContribution which can be used and has a getPluginId() method.
So something like:
if (node instanceof IPluginContribution) {
pluginId = ((IPluginContribution)node).getPluginId();
}
should work.
