Identifying problems in your code

In this section, you will see different indicators for identifying problems in your code.

Build problems are displayed in the Problems view and annotated in the vertical ruler next to your source code.

1. Open as_environment_manager.magik in the editor from Product Explorer view.
2. Add a syntax error by deleting _endloop line in sw_variables method in the source code.

   

3. Click Save button. The project is rebuilt and the problem is indicated in several ways:
   • In Problems view
   • In Product Explorer view
   • In the editor's vertical ruler, a problem marker is displayed near the affected line
   • Squiggly lines appear under the word which might have caused the error
   • The editor tab is annotated with a problem marker

   

4. You can hover over the marked word in the editor to view a description of the problem. You can also hover over the problem markers in the vertical or overview rulers.

   

5. In Problems view, right-click a problem in the list. Select Go To. The file will be opened in the editor at the location of the problem.

   

6. Correct the problem in the editor by adding _endloop line. Click Save button. The project is rebuilt and the problem indicators disappear.
   

7. You can configure the way problems are indicated on the General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations preference page.
