Commented Issue: Error adding file to a boo project [2390]

boomtobim — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 18:49:51 GMT

Hi,
I have boolangstudio installed, and a solution with one boo console app project. When I right click on the project and go to Add -> New Item -> Class I get an error dialog that reads:
"Invalid Parameter
Parameter name: index"
I know this is pretty vague, but I figured I'd give it a shot in case anyone had any ideas.

Thanks,
Brian Mavity

Commented Issue: Start supporting VS2010 [6398]

No offsense, but the market window for 2008 has been missed, with most of us Boo fans having had to use #develop for Boo metaprogramming. I think you should now be targeting only VS2010.

Thanks for the advice, but you may note this project hasn't been updated since October 2008.

I also get this same issue. Try to add a new class:
InvalidParameter
Parameter name: index

Commented Issue: Installer error when Visual Studio is not installed

FallenGameR — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 21:37:52 GMT

install fails with the following error:

The installer had encountered an unexpected error installing this
package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error
code is 2869.

Installer should detect if no compatible versions of visual studio are present and exit gracefully with a clear error message.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: FallenGameR **

There is more error than this. After 2008 Studio Team System reinstallation BooLangStudio wount install on it.

First there is an error:
"A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file:
c:\Users\FallenGameR\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp3F34.msi"

There is no file tmp3F34.msi in temp directory.

And after that - 2869 error.

How to fix the issue?

I have this exact same issue. I don't know what other information I can provide to help debug.

Commented Issue: In a boo console app add reference to a boo library throws error

sneal — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 18:44:12 GMT

Error is: memory cannot be written. Closing the solution and loading it again will be unable to load the console app project.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: sneal **

Boo lib project -> Boo lib project references seem to also cause an error. "Attempted to read or write protected memory..."

Closed Issue: Please rename the installer from Setup.exe to BooLangStudio1.0Alpha1.exe

jagregory — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 21:02:24 GMT

On the download link for the installer it is BooLangStudio1.0Alpha1.exe.
But when you click on the download link it is Setup.exe.

I liked BooLangStudio1.0Alpha1.exe better.

0. BooLangStudio under experimental hive works well and now installed at the same machine as BLS A1
1. Under experemental hive project references in msbuild booproj files works normally

2. ERROR when i try to open existed project in BLS A1 it fails with message Object reference set on null
3. ERROR if i create new Boo project and try to add project reference i've got same error to, but reference is shown in solution explorer, but it's FULLPATH property contains error message and after closing it cannot be opened as descripted in #2

4. MSBUILD file is well configured and can be opened under BLS B2 under EX.HIVE

Just FYI, I've reproduced this issue and I'm taking a look at fixing it.

Commented Issue: Support for Type and Member dropdowns

jagregory — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 07:49:25 GMT

It would be good get this working.

i have spent a couple of hours on this and have almost give up. IronPython does not support this, but the SDK documentation had an article, so I followed that but hit a few problems.

First you are supposed to override CreateDropDown helper on the languageService class:
for example like this:

public override TypeAndMemberDropdownBars CreateDropDownHelper(IVsTextView forView)
{
var source = GetSource(forView);
var request = CreateParseRequest(source, 1, 1, new TokenInfo(), source.GetText(), source.GetFilePath(), ParseReason.Check, forView);
var project = GetProject(request);
var compiledProject = project.GetCompiledProject();
return new BooTypeAndMemberDropDownBars(this, compiledProject);
}

And then you are supposed to return a class that inherits from TypeAndMemberDropDownBars. In this class you are supposed to override the function OnSynchronizeDropdowns. However if you override CreateDropDownHelper and have just a return S_OK in OnSynchronizeDropdowns, you get a managed stackoverflow exception. After hours I managed to track this down (or I think I have), to the equality operator on the DropDownMember class causing a stackoverflow, and the SDK framework is doing a if (member != null) check you get a stackoverflow.

I managed to work around this by overriding some more methods on TypeAndMemberDropDownBars (it was in these methods that the if (member != null) code was), so I by doing that I managed to get the dropdowns showing something. But then I got another problem, the OnSynchronizeDropdowns was not being called, so after a little googling you have to setup a Idle timer that calls the languageService OnIdle method, this timer is setup in the BooPackage class using some OleComponent trickery.

But then again when you change the the selected value in a dropdown the stackoverflow occurs again, that is probably because the method OnItemChosen in the base class TypeAndMemberDropDownBars is doing if (member != null) again (I checked this in reflector..) .

It seems such a hassle, and I am not sure if it is completely possible to work around this bug. I have submitted the bug on microsoft connect, hopefully they have already fixed it in SDK 1.1 (for VS 2008 SP1), because this bug has been mentioned by others on the visual studio extensibility forums.

Thanks leppie, we may very well do that when we come to tackle this again. Thanks for the comments.

Commented Issue: Support for Type and Member dropdowns

leppie — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 18:13:15 GMT

I just did something with this for IronScheme. No serious issues. I am using SP1 and SDK 1.1. The example is pretty clear.

I do see however you are making another parse request, and this could be the cause if the infinite loop. var source should contain/be your AST root as it will be already parsed.

Send me a message if you are stuck.

Commented Issue: ProjectReferences fails

jagregory — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 15:18:50 GMT

Just so I understand this correctly, your Boo project is referencing a C# project. When you try to build the C# project, the assembly is being locked?

Commented Issue: ProjectReferences fails

sorenskovsboll — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 07:43:59 GMT

I'm having different difficulties with adding project references to a booproj.
The assembly file is being locked so building the referenced (c#) project fails. Only a restart of VS unlocks the file. But after the first build the assembly file is locked again :(

Closed Issue: No ability to delete files in a .booproj

olsonjeffery — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:39:44 GMT

currently, in the installer branch (soon to be merged into master), when running boolangstudio, you do not have the option, in the right-click menu, to delete any files from a .booproj.. this most likely has something to do with the delete functionality not being implemented in the BooFileNode class, although i'm not sure
Comments: this property fell out and is now back in. fixed

Commented Issue: No project settings for Boo projects

olsonjeffery — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:38:52 GMT

If you create a boo project, then try to go into the properties, you get a nice error message. Probably should provide either a default config here, or create our own.

this appears to work in the main hive.. broken in experimental hive on master?

Closed Issue: BooBinPath should not be stored in the .booproj file

olsonjeffery — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:38:13 GMT

Two reasons:
1.) if different developers have different paths it will be a source control nightmare.
2.) it will prompt you to save the project even if you haven't changed anything. (the first time at least).

The trick is that the targets file still needs to be compatible with #dev and therefore we need to use the $(BooBinPath) to find the targets file. Ideally we would be able to set the BooBinPath variable into msbuild wihtout having it saved in the actual .booproj file. It needs to be added at buildtime only in memory.

Closed Issue: "in-progress" strings (ie those with no closing quote) aren't parsed as string tokens

olsonjeffery — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:35:34 GMT

Currently, the boo lexer will barf and throw an exception (which we supress) in the case of encounting a malformed string token, like this:

def SomeMethod():
print "This is a malformed string

the classic case for this occuring: in the process is creating a string literal, you haven't yet entered the closing quote...

So until you enter the closing quote, the string is treated as a group of whatever items are there (ie identifiers, operators, etc)... this is not the default behavior for other languages in the IDE, and isn't desired behavior.

Closed Issue: Aberrations in multiline comment syntax highlighting

olsonjeffery — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:34:55 GMT

Currently, multiline comments in BooLangStudio parse, but has some issues. Specifically, if there are opening/closing quotes embedded in the comments (single, double or tripple).

When this happens, the highlighter will "un-color" the space of and the space before where the quote character is at. If it's a triple-quote, it'll "un-color" three spaces before the triple-quote token, not to mention the triples themselves.

This is most likely something to do with how BooScanner is dealing with tokens that it receives back from the lexer in the ScanTokenAndProvideInfoAboutIt() method.
Comments: fixed with new, Peg-based syntax highlighting. closed

Closed Issue: Syntax highlighting doesn't support tabs

olsonjeffery — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:34:29 GMT

After the upgrade to the latest boo source, support for tabs for indenting has broke. We need to support both really, as it's a point of contention with a lot of developers.

As this was working before, I'm guessing its some of the changes we've made to the boo source that haven't been migrated successfully.
Comments: fixed awhile back, cleaning up issues
