Powershell IDE - Syntax checking, refactoring, ...?

Hi,
I'm now using powershell for a while. And I like the extending of the old batch.
But I'missing a good IDE for using the power of the powershell.
For C# I have Visual Studio - but nothing for powershell.
I want Syntax-Highlighting, Syntax-Cheking (is something missing?), auto completion (also extern Libraries)
Support for refactoring and debugging, also It should help me quickly get to the documentation of a command/-let
(ISE does not have them or are they somewhere hidden?)
Nothing aut there having all this features?

If you're using the PowerShell 2.0 ISE, it's kind of crappy. Upgrade to 3.0 or later and you'll be pleasantly surprised. To get help on a cmelet, just press F1 when the cursor is anywhere within that command in the editor or console pane. Syntax hightlighting
(including errors) is automatic.
I'm not sure what you mean by wanting "refactoring" as a feature in the IDE. Are you referring to something like ReSharper that analyzes code for you and makes improvements? I'm not aware of anything quite that full-featured for PowerShell, but
there is a module called
ScriptCop that gives some of those benefits.
I haven't tried the Sapien products, but I've heard good things about them as well.

Syntax check of code

I am passing certain code in table itab and then doing a syntax check using SYNTAX-CHECK FOR itab MESSAGE mess LINE lin WORD wrd .The problem with this method is it check the code line by line and assign mess with the first error msg but I want to trap all the error message of the code in itab at once in another table.
Is it possible to trap all the error msg at once in a internal table.

Hi,
This is similar to what ABAP Editor sytax check does. You cannot check sytax of the "futher" code as the "closer" code may affect the "further". Unless you correct the first error you cannot therefore check if futher lines are correct. If this worked like you want it would have to correct "closer" errors first by itself, then it could check rest of the code. But how the compilator (generall meaning) would have to know what to place there. This is of course impossible. There is no such compliator doing so in none of known to me programming languages.
You may skip this by a trick. Looping at the table with a code and checking each line of this with a check syntax. Then collect all these errors within an error table.
Nevetherless be carefull !! You would have to place excatly one statement per line in code table. Otherwise it won't pass the exam. Moreover you cannot use any of chain statements i.e.
write: 'first line',
'second line'.
...should be replaced with
write 'first line'.
write 'second line'.
Hope this give you some idea:)

Regular Expressions for textfield syntax checking while typing?

Hi all,
my application has a textfield for entering customer numbers. The customer numbers have a certain syntax which I want to have checked while the user types.
According to our company's style guide, the textfield's background color has to be
- RED in case of an error,
- WHITE in case of correct input,
- YELLOW when the input is incomplete but the beginning is correct.
To check the syntax with Regular Expressions is easy for the WHITE and RED cases. But I'm struggling with the YELLOW case.
public static boolean checkTest(String s) {
String regExp = "(\\d{6,8},\\d{1,3},\\d{1,3},\\d{1,2})";
return Pattern.matches(regExp, s);
}The above method returns true for the following examples:
"12345678,1,2,3"
"123456,11,22,33"
"1234567,123,123,12"
I now need another method which returns true if the user entered a valid beginning, for example:
"123"
"1234567,"
"123456,123,1"
Any ideas? I would be glad to get this done...

@notivago
In the meantime I also came up with a pattern to
check the YELLOW case:
String partly =
"\\d{0,8},?|\\d{6,8},\\d{0,3},?|\\d{6,8},\\d{1,3},\\d{
0,3},?|\\d{6,8},\\d{1,3},\\d{1,3},\\d{0,2}";Sounds good to me.
It seems to work. But my actual goal is to do such
color-coded syntax checking for other number types
(other patterns) as well. And it should be easy to
add or change number types.I cant figure how to do that for now.
So it would be nice to have a generic way to generate
the YELLOW-pattern from the other one. Is it
possible? Probably, but I cannot come up with any idea now.
Is there a better solution than my one
("String partly" above)? Something I can just append
to the original pattern for example?There are others, but it is hard to say what would be better or worse.

Disable Immediate syntax checker in Java editor

Could anyone suggest how to disable the syntax checker in Creator's java editor? Would be helpful if I could run it on demand, just immediately before bulding the project. Or even not run at all, as syntax errors are shown during the build.
The idea is to increase the performance and prevent occasional but still unwanted popups from the bottom of the screen.
Thanks,
-Ivan

Does anybody know how to do that? After I've made the change Creator stalls for a sec trying to parse the code and detect the errors. But quite often I want to leave the code as it is and get back to it later. Creator starts to complain about syntax errors, etc. Quite an annoying thing, could anyone suggest anything?

SYNTAX-CHECK

Hi Experts,
How to use SYNTAX-CHECK statement with in the function module?
Thanks,
Vickee.

I have no idea about this.I just want to use SYNTAX-CHECK statement to validate a dynamically generated select query.
Code:
APPEND 'DATA dir TYPE trdir.' TO itab.
APPEND 'SELECT SINGLE *' TO itab.
APPEND 'FROM trdir' TO itab.
APPEND 'INTO dir' TO itab.
APPEND 'WHERE name = sy-repid.' TO itab.
SYNTAX-CHECK FOR itab MESSAGE mess LINE lin WORD wrd.
When I run this ,it through the following error " REPORT/PROGRAM statement missing, or program type is INCLUDE."

Tool to do syntax check on DML/DDL

Is there any tool in Toad or SQL Plus or any other IDE to do a syntax check on DDL/DML statements without executing them ?

In my Toad Verson 7.6, there is a built in formatter namely -> Formatter Plus v4.8.0. This will format any given SQL Statement/ PL/SQL Code.
Also if your statement is wrong syntactically, the formatter will throw an error.
You just have to type the code and right click -> Formatting Tools -> Format Code. Alas your code gets formatted neatly!!
Thanks,

CS5 will not compile AS3; no AS3 Syntax Check; no AS3 Auto Format

I had the trial version of CS5, but it expired. I bought the upgrade and tried to modify a previous Document Class from CS3 in AS3, but the Syntax Check just gives me the error beep, not the happy "ding" with the no errors popup. I try to click the Auto Format and the IDE pops up an error window: "This script contains syntax errors, so it cannot be Auto Formatted. Fix the errors and try again." No errors are in the ouput window (even with either Filter level). Document Classes do nothing even though the compilation runs without any problems; no errors, but no code execution (not even a trace("x");).
This seems related to the "no code hinting" posts, but I've tried their workarounds, but nothing seems to get my AS3 engine working properly.
I have removed, reinstalled & rebooted 3 times, the demo version and LWS version (which have different sized install Setup.exe ?!?!), and tried the Adobe update. I also tried using the 4.1.0 flex_sdk, but I've found no solution.
All the code I am trying in CS5 comes from CS3 and Sytnax Check fine and Auto Formats correctly. AS2 in CS5 functions as expected with Syntax Check and Auto Format working just fine.
My repeated Web cases through the Support Portal have been denied and they tell me to post it here. I posted to the Flash General forum, but no one had anything to say.
I'm on Win XP Pro SP3.
Thanks,
Dave

Dave,
It sounds to me like you may need to find a clean up script after the app is uninstalled. Or you can try just a few bits and pieces or you code to start with in a new file. That's the only thing I can think of besides reformatting to clear your entire registry of Adobe Flash items. I always do a reformat of my entire computer everytime a new version of the Adobe products comes out, saves a bit of headache.

Why a simple php syntax checker extension doesn't exist yet for Dreamweaver CS4 ?

Hello,
my request is in the subject ;-)
I remember a very useful extension in Golive CS8/9 that did exactly that :
Duplicate from DW the currently edited php/html page to a temp file
Send the temp file to the command line : "/path/to/php -l /path/to/temp/file"
Display the command output ("syntax ok" or "error on line ##") directly INSIDE dreamweaver
It required only that an apache/php package was installed on the developer's computer (using whater Xampp, or Wamp, etc.)
Though you might say to me that I should use a PHP IDE wich is dedicated specifically to that goal, I wonder why a such extension does not exist... as it is a great time saver when rapid syntax checking is required before uploading...
I may be wrong but i can't find anything close to that via google / adobe studio exchange search results...
Should I start to learn the dreamweaver CS4 API extension documention or someone can give me a hint to achieve that ?
Thanks everyone.

Hi M.Zografski
I have tried to clear that cache the only thing I keep running into is that the file that is listed doesn't even match the way my dreamweaver loaded onto my computer. I get up to the point of the Adobe file then my next one is shown as Adobe Dreamweaver CS4- I choose this and then there is no file in there showing the language at all. I have a file listed as %AppData% and if I choose this one then it shows Thinstall file and this opens into Adobe AIR- then this has some registry files and another fold as %drive_C% which opens to Adobe then to Dreamweaver then to en_US then Configuration which does contain a file RDSINFO and it appears to be empty. This seems very round about to getting to the cache file and I was unsure of whether or not this was what I was indeed looking for. Also if I try to search for this WinFileCache with that file name I get no results.
Why is this being so stubborn. I am thinking if I could locate the file then it would all go well
Thanks

Get ALWAYS result of syntax check of sqlplus possible ?

When I pass an sql script to sqlplus as parameter then syntax errors may occur.
It could happen that I type e.g.
SELECT * from mytable
without trailing semicolon.
In this case sqlplus stops processing and waits forever without informing the
user about the problems.
Can I force sqlplus to send syntax check and error results in every case back to the user ?

Until you tell SQL*Plus that you've completed the statement by adding the semicolon, though, it has no idea when to do the syntax check. It has no idea whether you're in the middle of typing in a query that is going to span multiple lines, whether you've stopped typing to talk to someone in the hall, or whether you intended to submit a query but forgot the semicolon.
Realistically, this is just part of debugging a script.

Syntax check error in the standard include

Hi,
I have modified one standard include using access key to insert one logic as per businness requirements.Now after inserting that code iam getting syntax error but while activating it is not showing the error and getting activated.
The include is V05XZZMO in that i have inserted code is as follows
FORM MOVE_USERFIELDS USING ZP.
CASE ZP.
    WHEN 'VBRK'.
    header
    MOVE LVBRK-XXXXX TO LFAMTV-ZZXXXXX.
*{   INSERT         GDVK934083                                        1
          MOVE LVBRK-ZUONR TO LFAMTV-ZZZUONR.
*}   INSERT
    WHEN 'VBRP'.
    item
    MOVE LVBRP-XXXXX TO LFAMTV-ZZXXXXX.
*{   INSERT         GDVK934083                                        2
   MOVE LVBRP-MATWA TO LFAMTV-ZZMATWA.
*}   INSERT
ENDCASE.
ENDFORM.
now it is throwing error saying that LFAMTV doesn't exist...when I double click on that it is taking me to the FM RV_INVOICE_VIEW_2 where it is defined....
Can anyone know the reason why it is throwing the error when we go for the syntax check but when u activate the program it is getting activated.. so can this error can be neglected?
Any help on this will be appreciated..
Regards,
Rohan.

Hi,
First comment ur code and then activate the include.
Now put a break point in the form and then in the debug mode check the structre LFAMTV is visible or not.
if yes then once again add ur code and then activate the whole program.
and now once again debug it and see...., whether the values are updated to the strurure LFAMTV.

SQL Developer 1.1.0.21: Issues with Data Grid and SQL syntax checking

In this new release of SQL Dev, when I execute a SQL in the SQL Worksheet and click in the Data Grid in the Results tab and try to navigate within a record using arrow keys, the grid cell enters into edit mode by default and so I cannot use the Left or Right arrow keys to navigate the grid. I am forced to use tab key to navigate. This is counter intuitive in my opinion.
Is there any option to change this behavior?
Another issue that I have come across is with SQL syntax checking. In some cases, when I press F9 to execute a SQL, it shows the SQL as executed i.e. shows something like 0.0134 seconds in the toolbar and no results displayed. In reality, the SQL had some syntax error which were NOT reported. This can be frustrating since now I have to fall back to SQL*Plus or TOAD just for syntax check.
I like the fact that SQLDev highlights the current SQL but it would be more useful if it just indicated the first line of the current sql instead of highlighting the whole sql.

I am forced to use tab key to navigate. This is counter intuitive in my opinion."
In the "Results" tab, Click Ctrl & Tab keys (at the same time) or with mouse click on any cell other than the first column (a sequence or rownum), you will be able to navigate using the arrow keys.

The 0.0134 seconds could be the result of the most recently executed successful statement. Check the Script Output tab for errors. Use F5 (Run Script option) instead of F9.
"I like the fact that SQLDev highlights the current SQL but it would be more useful if it just indicated the first line of the current sql instead of highlighting the whole sql."
On the SQL statement (or code), Right Click -> Format SQL (or press Ctrl & B), proper formatting would help.
I use version 1.0.0.15.57 and seems to be working allright.

Syntax check for tables and function modules

Hi,
I am writing a program that perform syntax check on object such as executable programs , function modules and tables.
Syntax check works fine for programs, but not for tables.
How can I perform syntax check on my tables or structures?
I get my data from the table TADIR. But I don't get my function modules from there. What is the table for this.
Thanks 4 ur replies.
Parvez

hi
good
generally in sap while creating a table or structure we get the error and we solved them,but like reports during runtime it is not possible to check the syntax of a table or structure.
thanks

Can we use SAMT to syntax check methods in global classes ?

Transaction SAMT can be used to perform syntax checks on programs but I can't see how to use it to check methods in global classes. Can anyone tell me how to do this ?
thanks,
Malcolm.

I've figured out a way to do this.
You need to put the class name followed by '=====CP' into the program name......with enough ='s to make the name up to 32 characters. Bit fiddly but it can be done.

Warning in query in Extended Syntax Check

Hi all,
I perform Extended Syntax Check.
It generates following warning for the query: -
In "SELECT SINGLE....", the WHERE condition for the key field "MATNR" does not test for equality. Therefore the single record in question may not be unique.
(You can hide the message using "#EC *)
Please tell me what does it mean. How can I suppress this warning?
Regards,
Saurabh A. Buksh

Hi,
whenu r using select single use a variable or a workarea don't use tables.
select single matnr from mara into v_matnr
where matnr in s_matnr.
also as it is warning message u can neglectit .
when u r using select single u should give entire key information also.
