Inside a method of some class, I typed a field name that doesn't exist yet. I invoked the Generate > Field command. IDEA generated the field but placed it somewhere far up the class - probably at a position determined by Code Style > Arrangement.
Is there a way to configure IDEA to place newly generated code as close to the cursor as possible? E.g., in the example above I wanted the new field to be placed right above my method.

In my current project in Access VBA, I created a window which works like a console and now I am trying to add a possibility to display any public variable. It should work like:
Show_var [variable_name]
So it should be like in the direct window where i can type:
? pVar.variable_A
I found out that using
Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.VBComponents(11).CodeModule.CountOfLines
I can display the number of lines within a module or form so I thought perhaps I could somehow find the variables there, cycle through them and when the correct one is found, its value can be shown. OFC I could make a Select Case Statement where all variables are included but that is not the way I want to do it because it is complicated and must be changed every time update my public variable list.
There are so many problems that I think you are out of luck. Let me just list some of them:
There is no way to get a list of all variables - that would mean you would need access to the internal symbol table.
As a consequence, you would have to read the code (CodeModule lets you read the code of a module), and write an own parser to fetch all declarations (hopefully you use Option Explicit)
AFAIK, the is no method that can access the content of a variable via it's name.
Even if there would be any such method: What would you do with different data types, arrays and especially with objects.
If a user runs into problems, often it is a runtime error. If you don't handle that errors with some kind of error handler, the only option if a user cannot enter the debugger is to press "End" - which would destroy the content of all variables.
You have to deal with scope of variables, you can have several variables with the same name and you will likely have lots of variables that are out of scope in the moment you want to dump them.
I am trying to assign the value of this stucture path to a fieldsymbol, but this path does not work because it has a table in it's path.
But with in the debugger this value of this path is shown correctly.
Is there a way to dynamically assign a component of a table line to a fieldsymbol, by passing one path?
If not then I will just read the table line and then use the path to get the wanted value.
ls_struct (Struct)
- SUPPLYCHAINTRADETRANSACTION (Struct)
- INCL_SUPP_CHAIN_ITEM (Table)
- ASSOCIATEDDOCUMENTLINEDOCUMENT (Element)
i_component_path = |IG_DDIC-SUPPLYCHAINTRADETRANSACTION-INCL_SUPP_CHAIN_ITEM[1]-ASSOCIATEDDOCUMENTLINEDOCUMENT|.
ASSIGN (i_component_path) TO FIELD-SYMBOL(<lg_value>).
IF <lg_value> IS NOT ASSIGNED.
return.
ENDIF.
<lg_value> won't be assigned
Solution by Sandra Rossi
The debugger has its own syntax and own logic, it doesn't apply the ASSIGN algorithm at all. With ABAP source code, you have to use ASSIGN twice, the first one to reach the internal table, then you select the first line, and the second one to reach the component of the line.
The debugger works completely differently, the debugger code works only in debug mode, you can't call the code from the debugger (i.e. if you call it, the kernel code used by the debugger will fail). No, there's no "abappath". There are the XSL transformation objects (xpath), but it's slow for what you ask.
Thank you very much
This seems to be a rather unexpected limitation of the ASSIGN statement. Probably worth a ticket to SAP's ABAP language group to clarify whether it's even a bug.
While this works:
ASSIGN data-some_table[ 1 ]-some_field TO FIELD-SYMBOL(<lv_source>).
the same expressed as a string doesn't:
ASSIGN (`data-some_table[ 1 ]-some_field`) TO FIELD-SYMBOL(<lv_source>).
Alternative 1 for (name) of the ABAP keyword documentation for the ASSIGN statement says that "[t]he name in name is structured in the same way as if specified directly".
However, this declaration is immediately followed by "the content of name must be the name of a data object which may contain offsets and lengths, structure component selectors, and component selectors for assigning structured data objects and attributes in classes or objects", a list that does not include the table expressions we would need here.
I'm trying to build a Python Unit Test File Template in PyCharm. The overall result I want to achieve is:
A user creates a new file with my template, say "widget_builder.py"
Inside the template I want to create the class name by taking the file name "widget_builder" and turning it into "WidgetBuilderTests"
It looks like I need to use a Live Template to manipulate the file template variable $FILE_NAME$?
How can I create a Live Template that given a passed in variable (in this case $FILE_NAME$), applies both the underscoresToCamelCase and capitalize functions to it?
If I declare the Template text as:
$CLASS_NAME$
...and then edit variables, how can I reference a passed in variable of '$FILE_NAME$'?
I'd imagine it to look something like this, but I just can't get it to work:
I'm sure there must be a way to do this, but I just can't quite wrap my head round it.
Is this possible? Thanks!
EDIT
I've got a bit further. If I define the template as this:
If I then use it, this happens:
So the end result of $CLASS_NAME$ (WidgetBuilder) on the left is what I want, but I don't want $FILE_NAME$ (widget_builder) to be there once I hit return.
So your problem here is that $FILE_NAME$ is not a native variable in the live templates, merely an arbitrary name. What you actually want to be using is another function: fileNameWithoutExtension().
So your template would look something like:
prompted for user entry by I'm new to ant and I was wondering if it would be possible to create a global variable in the build file so that I can use it repeatedly throughout the file itself.
For example, if the command were 'ant a', I would be able to use that value 'a' throughout the build file (for example in a file path i.e C:/test/a).
The reason I want to know how to do this is because there are multiple values like 'a' (lets say all the letters in the alphabet), and instead of copying and pasting the same code 26 times, I would be able to have 1 piece of code that takes different values (depending on what the user enters). In java you are able to have a variable storing the user input, and use that variable throughout the code (same idea here).
I tried searching for this but wasn't sure how to word it.
UPDATE
With the help of some people I managed to solve what I needed.
So I managed to use Input Task to kind of fix my problem. I prompted the user for an entry by using the following command:
Then I can just use the value entered by the user anywhere i want by simply writing ${hold.it}. For example in a file path "C:/go/to/${hold.it}"
Have a look at Ant properties and the property task used to set them. For example, you can define a property named prop1 and pass its value using ant -Dprop1=some_value.
A property is "global" since after defining it, any part of the buildfile can use it.
I am trying to set the toolbar item dynamically. So far I have a back button that resets the toolbar title to 'start' if the user chooses to go back.
But the following code won't work:
menuList.on('itemtap', function(dataView, index, item, e){
viewport.dockedItems.items[0].setTitle('{title}');
});
It tries to use a variable called 'title' out of my data store array. This works great for providing text to my Ext.List items. But the above code sets the toolbar title to the string '{title}' without even thinking of it being a variable.
Can you help me out?
List's use templates so items within curley braces get evaluated... you'll need to pass a reference to a variable without quotes. You haven't provided enough code for me to tell you where that information would be. If you already have a variable in scope called title that you put the data into then you can just reamove the '{ and }' ... otherwise you'll need to get the data you need from your store through some means, like Ext.StoreMgr or [appname].stores
Two things. 1) You will really want to get used to digging into the ST source code. In this case, if you look at the code for "setTitle", you will see that its argument is interpreted as straight HTML, not a template. So you can't use curly bracket syntax here. 2) Note that the type of the "item" argument to the event handler is an Element (i.e. ST's representation of the DOM object, not the selected datastore object. So that's not going to help you. However, the "index" arg gives you an easy way to get the appropriate object from the store. i.e.
[appname].stores.pages.getAt(index).title
I really don't know why, but it works if you put up to variables: One for the record and one for the value inside that record. There is a detailed explanation in the sencha.com-forum
