Tasklist with TODO in code not working [message #1687839]

Eclipse for PHP Developers
Version: Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2)
Build id: 20150219-0600

I make use of //TODO in code very often.
Migrating from Indigo to Luna it doesn't work anymore.

For the old code with //TODO I actually still see the icon on the left where are the line numbers, and the task is present in the tasklist.
For the new code I'm writing now, nothing happens.

Any idea?

This should wok correctly. I tested on fresh workspace and everything is ok.

What you have in PHP/Validation/Task Tags?

/**
* @todo Test
*/
Work?

Is this auto-build enabled? Menu -> Project -> Build Automatically

Tasks should be update after each save operation.

I've tested this morning on a fresh installation + new workspace, on another computers with a different OS (Windows), with all the defaults: it's the same:
//TODO, @todo //FIXME... nothing is working.
(Everything available in PHP/Validation/Task Tags)

About "Build Automatically", I prefer F5, but even with Build Automatically nothing changes.

Are you sure you are testing with Eclipse Luna for PHP developer?

Sure, everything is working fine for me. Have you something in logs? Window / Show View / Other / Error Log

I've just tried a 3rd new installation on another OS: Mint 17 XFCE 32 bit.
Same problem.
So, since now I've tested Mint 64 bit, Mint 32 bit, Windows 32 bit. Everyone with the same problem.
And apart from the task list another important problem is this one
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1063115/
VERY annoying and it's the default on every of the 3 installation tested.

About the error log, there is only an error about GIT (I don't use it).

The thing is that a fresh install doesn't work with the defaults.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1) Download Eclipse Luna for PHP
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-php-developers/lunasr2

2) Extract
3) Launch
4) Create PHP project
5) Add a php file
6) In the editor write //TODO or //@todo or //FIXME (or anything else present in the task tags)
7) Press CTRL+S to save (this should make the task appears in the tasklist)
8) Select the project folder and press F5 to be more sure the project is rebuilt

NOTHING HAPPENS. It's a bug or a bad default.
This happen on fresh install + new workspace, on any OS I've tested: Mint 64, Mint 32, Windows 32.

On ubuntu also works correctly for me. I'll try on windows later.

Have you tried a fresh install? Because maybe you have some option that are not the default.

Off course fresh. On updated installation (from luna SR0) also works correctly. I'm using this every day Wink

By defalt PDT highlight @todo, TODO, FIXME, XXX always.

Can you check Preferences / Validation ? PHPTaskValidator should be checked. Is it?

Yes, and this is strange. Can you zip your fresh workspace and upload somewhere. I'll try to compare it.

That's not good! Sad

No, it works only on Xubuntu
while not working on Mint 32, Mint 64 and Win 32.
Maybe there are other OS where it works but of the 4 I've tested, only Xubuntu works.

NB: Xubuntu 14.04 32b and Mint 17 XFCE 32b are basically the same OS! Confused

What VM you have on Mint? OpenJDK (is default)? If yes can you switch to oracle java [1] >= 7?

I have only windows 8.1 64 with oracle java 8, and also working correctly :/

I've also checked the JRE 7 Version. On Mint was a little bit older, but now it's the exact version and doesn't work anyway.

This is ridiculous!

can you switch to oracle version? Sometimes OpenJDK doesn't work well.

OK, I'm gonna try.

However if I don't solve the other problem here
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1063115/
I'll surely get back to Indigo because I can't stand that kind of huge bug (cannot be other than a bug: a formatter that join a splitted line on a single kilometric line is a bug... or crazy by design!).

WAIT A MINUTE! I've found something...
If I create a project without clicking "Next", it owrks!
If I create a project clickng "Next" EVERY project stops working, and they will never work again not even repeating the magic sequence on a new project
It starts working again only in a new workspace!

So I'm close to the solution of the problem....

Ok I see this now. If you click next, "Project->Build Automatically" is disabled. So no validation is performed. You have to recheck it. After that everything is woking again, run project->build project.

Yes, it works! But why for EVERY project and not only for the new one? It stops working the entire Workspace!!!

I've also found the following differences in .project inside the working project. This depend only on clicking "next or not.

"build automatically" is global eclipse settings. It also disable build on any other project (java, python, C++).

I updated your bug on bugzilla. We will take care of it for next release. Thanks!

Project builders order is different because if you click next, you are able to change facets (for example composer if you install appropriate plugin). Just ignore it Wink

The strange behaviour is that starting a new project change a global setting like that.
However, now that I know it, it's easy to set it back.

Thanks for updating the bug report, I would have added this now that I'm back from lunch Razz

Unfortunately, all this efforts are useless now that I see your reply to the other problem
