Hi,

While this is not expected, FlexPMD is being used on much bigger applications than this one. It is not size-related.

This issue is likely to be related to a specific piece of code in your project.

Can you try to specify a sub source folder, and maybe isolate a class or a piece of code which makes it break?

Did you send the entire console content?

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi,

Im find class by remove one by one. But im dont find string, if im delete one piece of code flexPMD work, but if remove all other code flexPMD work too.

Can you give me email for send this class?

Im find out how change class to parseable for flexPMD so problem solve.

[Xavier_Agnetti]

Can open a ticket on JIRA for this please?

Thanks,

Xavier

Hi,

Im can open tikcet, but class code is company property, so am doesn`t want public his in JIRA. And ticket without way to reproduce helpless imho.

Code do not contain any commercial secret but im sign documetns what forbidden me public code.

Has this bug been resolved?  We're seeing the same "String index out of range: -1" problem as well.

Thanks

I have just downloaded and encountered this error from the most recent FlexPMD version (1.2).

I managed to systematically determine which ActionScript file and (more to the point) which line of code was causing this error for me.  I am by no means an Flex/ActionScript/Flash guru so this may not be THE problem but merely one (of many?) which triggers this error.

My ActionScript file contained the line:

[Inspectable()]

Apparently an empty attribute list is a no-no for FlexPMD.  Adding any text or even removing the '( )' caused FlexPMD to be happy again

[Instpectable]  // no error

[Inspectable(blah)] // no error

[Inspectable()]  // EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNN!!!!   StringIndexOutOfBounds!

Hope that helps,

Tim

There seems to also be an issue with having certain xml as a class/instance property.

private static const CHECK_VERSION:XML = <![CDATA[function() { return { appVersion: navigator.appVersion, userAgent: navigator.userAgent, appName: navigator.appName };}]]>;

I had the above code in one of my classes and it caused the StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.

If I set the xml within the class, no exception. But if it was preset as a class/instance property it throws the exception.
