Code assistance in LotusScript Editor not working

  • Category: Domino Designer
  • Platform: Windows
  • Release: 9.0.1

Code assistance stopped working in Designer when I edit form events and button click events. (older editor)

    Dim n As NotesDateTime
    Set n = New NotesDateTime(Cstr(Today))
    n.

That last line should have popped up the list of things to select, like SetAnyTime, etc.
Nothing happens
CTRL-Space does nothing
CTRL-Shift-Space does nothing.

in prefs->Domino Designer->LotusScript Editor, "Use Eclipse Based Editor" is checked
"Automatically include Option Declare" is checked (this is ignored now. which is also driving me nuts
"Automatically indent pasted code" is checked
"Automatically recompile dependencies" is checked
"Prompt me if there are any lotusscript errors is checked
"Show Hover Help on lotusscript keywords" is checked
The two delays are set for 50 ms

 

When editing an agent it works fine.  it uses that other, newer LS editor.

How to fix this?

"Older editor"?

Do you have any version numbers for the "older editor" and "newer editor"?

I have seen that even in Designer 9.0.1 FP3. I think there is a bug somewhere that just causes it occasionally not to work in action buttons and form events.  I don't think there is anything you can do.

Had this too, went away after a reinstall
By that I mean I uninstalled the Notes client, threw away binaries and workspace directories, kept only databases and notes.ini and reinstalled and applied fixpack.

Mind you I was having other issues as well so I may hav had to go further than necessary just to fix this problem.

Releted things that bug me:  in the new editor, code assistance stops working if there are errors in the script.

What really gets me is the inability of the new editor to respect proper CamelCase of the properties and methods.  That is a right pain, and loss of function, since the old LotusScript editor does a sterling job of providing proper case. On the plus side, the new editor does code completion on custom classes, so I tend to put ALL code, including stuff in QueryOpen and actions and so on into a library so I can easily access all my classes.
Which also greatly simplifies code reuse, refactoring etc.
