How do I resolve Netbeans "cannot find symbol" in working tests? - netbeans-8

I have this issue where NetBeans will highlight and throw "cannot find symbol" errors in the editor in some of my unit tests. It doesn't afflict all tests, nor does it happen to all objects used in the tests (most of which are in the exact same source directory). It also does not impact running the tests... The code runs fine in and outside of NetBeans as do the tests. Yet, the NetBeans IDE insists that some of the objects referenced in the unit tests cannot be found.
It's very consistent which unit tests are impacted. Sometimes merely opening the referenced object source files will cause the IDE to correct itself and remove the false alerts. Sometimes not though...
Is there some configuration option I might have missed? The source and test directory properties are pointing to the correct places (if they were wrong I'd expect everything to be wrong too).

Looks like it's probably just a NetBeans thing as it comes and goes. Oddly it will stay throughout shutdowns/restarts, but at some point perhaps some config file is rewritten... Dunno.

Grails commands under Idea fail with a "NoSuchMethodError" for "getAndPut" in the "EvictableCache" class

I'm trying to get an existing project working on a new platform (MacOS, M1) with Idea as the IDE. (I'm extremely new to Idea, but I'm getting help from other project developers.)
For a particular module in the project, any attempt to run pretty much any Grails command fails with an exception:
org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.memoize.EvictableCache.getAndPut(Ljava/lang/Object;Lorg/codehaus/groovy/runtime/memoize/MemoizeCache$ValueProvider;)Ljava/lang/Object
I have verified (to the extent I know how) that there's only one Groovy installation on the machine, and it's version 2.4.14 installed by sdkman. (Grails is 2.5.6.) Running the grails command as part of the Idea build (ie, from clicking "Build" or whatever inside the IDE) and running the grails command in the module top-level directory from the command line have exactly the same results.
I don't have much (well, any) experience with grails or groovy, but to me a "NoSuchMethodError" means that some piece of code was compiled against a different version of that class (EvictableCache) than the version that's actually in the jar file when grails runs. There are groovy .jar files in the project directory, but their presence seems to make no difference; it always gets that exception.
I'm using the Azul zulu8 JDK, downloaded from Azul directly. Formerly I had been using a version installed with brew but that made no difference.
Any ideas as to how to locate the .class file with the attempted call to getAndPut() in EvictableCache would be welcome.
edit — as I was looking at the stack traces from running a command, I noticed something. Again, my groovy is 2.4.14, as I can verify with groovy -version. At the top of one of my stack traces (maybe more than one) I see that the attempted call to getAndPut() is coming from a class called AbstractExtensionMethodCache. Well, as far as I can tell, that class did not become part of Groovy until version 3. So clearly something is messed up.

Coroutines working but IntelliJ shows errors

I am working on a project using kotlinjs for nodejs and I start to learn coroutines and integrate them into my code to say goodbye to the callback hell.
I managed to get coroutines working, my code can be compiled and executed, everything seems fine.
...except: The IDE still shows me errors. It seems to be confused by the additional libraries I added in order to get coroutines running.
I am currently fiddling around with the library dependencies, sometimes some errors go away, but then some code gets red which was okay before...
This is what I see:
Case 1:
Cannot access class 'kotlinx.coroutines.experimental.CoroutineContext'. Check your module classpath for missing or conflicting dependencies
Case 2:
Unresolved reference: JsModule
Modifier 'external' is not applicable to 'class'
You see, launch is recognized when I add the stdlib, but then the IDE complains with the other two errors.
Again, please note: In both cases, actual compilation is successful!
I am using IntelliJ 2018.1 with Kotlin Plugin 1.2.41.
Thanks to Alexander Chernikov at youtrack.jetbrains I could resolve my problem.
I cite his explanation:
The issue is that JavaScript libraries should be marked with special attribute to be recognized.
When they are imported from pom.xml or build.gradle, this mark is set, so the feature works.
In your project they are not marked.
At the moment, to correct the libs manually, please open .idea/libraries/org_jetbrains_kotlin_kotlin_stdlib_js_1_2_41.xml and .idea/libraries/org_jetbrains_kotlinx_kotlinx_coroutines_core_js_0_22_5.xml.
In both files find type="repository" and replace it with type="kotlin.js".
Make sure IDEA sees the change. (You can exit IDEA, make the change and restart.)
Then you can keep only these two libs in dependencies. The editor should work.
Here is the issue link:

There I have also attached a sample project with the problem.

Program compiles fine in javac but not in IntelliJ

I am trying to test a java library I found online. I'm testing each component separately, and they work correctly on the command line when I do javac *.java followed by java test. This works perfectly fine, but if I try to build the same test.java file in IntelliJ 2017, it seems to build other irrelevant source files also present in the project and fails since they require dependencies that are not present (but I just want to compile and run test.java.)
How can I resolve this?
I don't know anything about the library you are using, so this may or may not work for you...
In the Project panel of Intellij IDEA select the class of the *.java file you want to compile/run.
Right-click, and on the popup menu you should see a couple of entries that look something like this:
Recompile 'Test.java' (That entry may or may not be present.)
Run 'Test.main()' (That entry will be present as long as you have a main() method.)
See the screen shot below for clarification.
Do you see similar entries?...
If so, what happens when you select them?
If not, please update the OP with more information on the error you are getting.

Did something Change with Pycharm 2016.3.2 - UnitTests no longer auto discovered

I have upgraded my Community version of PyCharm to 2016.3.2, and I'm not positive it was this exact version, but when I went to run files that had unittests in them, only some of them are recognized as UnitTests that I can right click and run.
I have looked to make sure that my classes implement unittest.TestCase
class clWorkflowWebClientTest(unittest.TestCase):
all of my tests begin with test_blahblah()
If I go into Edit Configurations and add one manually, I can right click and run it from the project tree, and it runs as a UnitTest. But I don't get the "Run UnitTests in Blah' dialog when I right click the file.
This turned out to be an issue I caused myself. we had added a folder called 'UnitTest' and introducing this to the path caused issues with PyCharm knowing what was a true UnitTest file.
I still don't know exactly what caused some files to work, but there appears to be one method in those files that did work that was probably being imported from another file that had the proper pathing.

Unit Tests fail, then don't

After some serious frustration and headaches, I've managed to add unit tests to an existing project. The problem is, the tests only get executed 50% of the time. I have a test method with an STFail macro inside, when I run the tests, it fails as I'd expect. Then, I run the tests again without touching any code/settings and it will pass without hitting breakpoints in the test fixture. The console prints out this output when this happens:
The executable for the test bundle at ... octest could not be found.
I've had a Google but there doesn't seem to be many/any people with this exact issue and other discussions on the subject are going over my head. If anyone can shed some light on this issue, It'll be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
I took your fresh project and reproduced the problem. There are a number of issues, and one unknown:
Build Phases of test target:
Target Dependencies: Specify TestApp, so that the main target is always built first.
Compile Sources: Don't include any main sources. Only include TestAppUnitTests.mm
Link Binary With Libraries: The only one needed is SenTestingKit.framework. We can throw in Foundation and UIKit for good measure.
Copy Bundle Resources: Should have nothing. (Later, you may want test-specific resources.)
Build Settings of test target:
Bundle Loader should be $(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)/TestApp.app/TestApp
Test Host should be $(BUNDLE_LOADER)
Scheme of main target:
Test -> Info should specify the test target
But even if I make all these changes, your project still has the odd behavior. The simulator sometimes gets a version of the app named, literally, ${PRODUCT_NAME}. Even debugging the app sometimes shows "Debug ${EXECUTABLE_NAME}" in the Log Navigator. So something else is awry, and I don't know what.
The best solution is to create a new project from scratch, specifying "Include Unit Tests". I've verified that this works.
