Adobe Community: PMD View blank in Flash Builder Beta 2 Standalone

PMD View blank in Flash Builder Beta 2 Standalone

Dec 10, 2009 1:35 PM

Following the instructions on the wiki I downloaded the plugin through the help menu in FB from here: http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flexpmd/plugin/trunk/flex-p md-eclipse-plugin-site

Plugin is configured in preferences with the following settings:

FlexPMD command line installation: /Users/{myName}/Tools/FlashBuilder_Plugins/flex-pmd-all-in-one-bundle -1.0.1/flex-pmd-command-line-1.0.jar

FlexPMD custom ruleset: (blank)

Java command line: java -Xmx256m

FlexCPD command line installation: /Users/{myName}/Tools/FlashBuilder_Plugins/flex-pmd-all-in-one-bundle -1.0.1/flex-pmd-cpd-command-line-1.0.jar

Minimum tokens: 25

When I select a folder and say 'Run FlexPMD' it opens the FlexPMD view but there is no output.

Currently testing on an actionscript only file. Does the project have to use MXML?

Thanks!

Same issue here,

I am using the latest drop of flash builder - 262635 (I am on the prerelease program). I am using the plugin with Eclipse 3.5.

CPD works very well (and surprisingly fast), but PMD shows no output with rule set blank. I have no custome ruleset to test against.

Hi,

can you make sure you download FlexPMD 1.0.1 from http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flexpmd/maven-repository/re lease/com/adobe/ac/flex-pmd/1.0/flex-pmd-all-in-one-bundle-1.0.1.zip

I see you're using /fle x-pmd-command-line-1.0.jar instead of 1.0.1

This should fix your issue.

Cheers

Hi, having the same problem. CPD works, but PMD shows an empty view. (FB3).

I downloaded the sipfile you mentioned, but not sure how you recognized him using the 1.0 instead of 1.0.1 because all the files are still named xxx-1.0.jar, even in the 1.0.1 zipfile. Is that ok?

Regards,

Ben

Hi Ben,

you're right, files have the 1.0 naming.

Can you give me some further details on your environment? FB version and eclipse version?
Can you see the "running FlexPMD" process message in the bottom right corner?
Is the nature also failing or is only the "run flexPMD" right-click action?
If you open "error log" view on Windows > Show views > Other > Error log can you see any error in there?

Thanks
Xavi

I'm having same issue in Flex Builder 3 Standalone Version: 3.0.205647.

FlexCPD runs fine, right-click FlexPMD, I can briefly see the green progress status in bottom corner, but nothing happens. I downloaded the 1.0.1 zip, but all file names are 1.0. Thanks.

When you add flexPMD nature and compile can you see FlexPMD violations in the standard error view?

I also have the same problem with no errors beeing returned, just a empty view. I'm running osx 10.5 (intel) with Flash Builder beta 2 (eclipse 3.4.0). And of course with the latest plugin version 1.0.1. PMD does not work but the find cut/paste works perfect.

But I suspect that this is a workspace specific bug, beacuse I hooked up pmd on another workspace and it worked perfectly. So finally I tested to remove my current workspace (the one where pmd did not start) and create a new one from scratch, but pmd still wouldnt run. It's wierd.

Cheers

Hi Glenn,

looking at your screenshot I can only see 1 error. The outline view should display the errors in your active editor. We have a known issue that if FlexPMD is executed while file is opened the outline View won't be updated the first time.

A part from that everything else looks fine to me. Remember that when you run FlexPMD as a nature FlexPMD view won't display anything. FlexPMD view is only used when FlexPMD is executed manually.

Regarding the icon issue I've logged a bug for it: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXPMD-123

@Martin I've filled in a new bug in Jira regarding the workspace problem you're experiencing http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXPMD-124

Please, can you add any further information you have as well as the workspace logs so that I can have a look please? You can find the logs in the your workspace root folder under ./metadata/.log If possible clean up the log file, launch eclipse and try to add pmd nature and clean your project.

@devertex @Ben @odoenet @scruffpuff

I've discovered an issue that might end up not running / displaying FlexPMD results. If your preferences point to a wrong jar or to a bad location the plugin will fail silently. I don't think this is the case for @scruffpuff but it's worth you all check your preferences params. The most important one is FlexPMD command line installation which should point to flex-pmd-command-line-1.0.jar

If this doesn't fix the problems, which I guess won't for all of you, could you please run eclipse from the command line with the -debug option?

Win: eclipse.exe -debug
OSX: {eclipse_folder}/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse -debug

Then right-click in a source folder an execute FlexPMD > Run FlexPMD

After that you should see some information in the console with further information on what's failing. Could you paste the information here?

I've logged in a bug and an ehancement request:

FlexPMD fails silently:

It seems I found the problem. I tried to create a new workspace with a space in the path and I got the error. I tried to find some secret config in the .metadata folder without result. Maybe it's in the plugin that the path is not converted form "/path to/" to "/path\ to/" or the oposite.

Sorry about that, I had to censor it for client purposes

But yes, it contains a space. To be more exact, the workspace name contains a space, like this = "workspace 2".

I'm getting a similar error on Windows 7 Pro.

It looks like it's trying to write to an output directory in my user directory, but can't. So, I have FlexBuilder 3 and the SDK Command Prompt both set to run as administrator and still no go. I moved the FlexPMD command files to my FlexBuilder 3 plug-ins folder and no go.

All the temp folders it attempted to make are empty.

@odoenet

Your problem seems to be the same regarding the spaces. There're spaces in the path of your workspace: C:\Users\odoe\Documents\Flex Builder 3\

The log is not explicit about that and it says the pmd folder doesn't exist, but the cause problem comes from the spaces... Can you try executing PMD in a project / workspace without spaces?

I switched workspaces by going to File > Switch workspace and then chose one which did not have any spaces (by default my workspace said Adobe Flash Builder Beta 2). I imported my preferences and tried to run PMD on a project I'm sure is full of problems. Still getting a blank view though. Is there more to switching workspaces than the steps I've listed?

*Edit*
Just to clarify, my new workspace path is Users/{myName}/Projects

When I go to Preferences > General > Workspace > Linked Resources
I see only 1 entry which reads DOCUMENTS - /Users/{myName}/Documents/Adobe Flash Builder Beta 2
Does this need to be changed as well?

the way this pasted into the comment window, at least for me, it looks like there is a space where it says 'dir/ pmd.xml'
however, it doesn't look like there is a space in the command line output, so maybe it's weird text formatting on the part of the forum? just wanted to point that out.

*edit*

it also seems to do it on this line '/Users/robdodson/Tools/FlashBuilder_Plugins/flex-pmd-all-in-one-bund le-1.0.1/fl ex-pmd-command-line-1.0.jar'
where it says flex-pmd-command-line-1.0.jar. But in terminal it does not have extra spaces between the words.

I have tried FlexPMD with almost all possible combinations - with Flex 3, with Flex 4 Standalone, with Flex 4 Plugin, using workspace with space, without space, using my C: partition, my D partition, etc. Without being able to see anything at all on the FlexPMD view.

It seems the problem might be due to my User Account in Windows, which have spaces and special characters (João Saleiro) - but I might be wrong. I can't change my user account name, which makes FlexPMD useless for now. And I was hoping to show it on a presentation I will be giving for the community next saturday (day 16). Is there any workaround that allows me to use FlexPMD inside eclipse, so I can use it for now? Isn't there an easy way to set the output directory to a different one?

Thank you,

João Saleiro

Hi Joao,

I'm sorry to hear the plugin is not working on your environment. I'm almost sure it's because of your home directory. I'm afraid I won't be able to provide you a fix / workaround for this before tomorrow

the way we're currently getting the output folder is with the Java File API: File.createTempFile So it's java who chooses where to create this temp file... I'm not sure if Java provides a way to change this location.

Xavi,

what about if the user can set the output directory on the preferences of the plugin? I can imagine cases where I would like to keep the PMD generated report, and for that I would be glad to output it to a directory set by me. What do you think?

I'm having the same problem. I posted my logs to the bug report page before I found this page, so I wont duplicate them here. See them here:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXPMD-120

I have no spaces in my project, workspace, PMD commandline jars, or windows user home paths.

The exact same command listed in the console as failing, works when I run it manually on the commandline.

I forgot to mention in the bug, my versions are:

Flash Builder: Version 4.0 (build 253292)
Eclipse Platform: Version: 3.4.2 Build id: M20090211-1700
OS: Windows Vista SP2 32-bit

I've tried running FlexPMD both as a build nature (it added no warnings/errors to my flex 'problems' panel) and as a command (the FlexPMD View opens after running it, but it's empty)

It looks like the problem with mine was not the Windows user account, but the fact that Windows (I'm using Windows 7) was not allowing JAVA to write to the Temp directory. Running Eclipse as Administrator solved my problem.
