PDE shows a syntax error, but the sketch runs (cannot automatically rename things)

G_glop

PDE shows a "missing right curly bracket" error on this line:

String[] ip = loadStrings(filename);

However, all the brackets line up and the sketch runs just fine. The problem comes when i want to automatically rename identifiers. Which PDE doesn't let you until there are no syntax errors.

koogs

the problem with missing } errors is that it can't always tell where they are.

void helloWorld() {
  if (condition) {
    // do a thing
    // missing } here
} // the end of the method looks like the end of the condition...

it may even not be in the same tab.

so check. hit ctrl-t in each of the tabs in turn.

sketch runs just fine

this is odd though. maybe there's a { or } in a comment that's confusing it.

I've checked manually and by ctr-t and i don't have any {} in comments.

koogs

well, unless you post more than that one line of code we can't help.

Here is the full sketch folder: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3s7oa_72ZRYUzlCVHBJSTQzR2c

mine flags up setup() and FSM definition as errors until i change this line

String filename = "E:\\ProcessingSketchbook\\PongLogin\\" + "ip";

And does it run for you? I'm using PDE 3.3

koogs

well, i don't have half the libraries, or the ip file. so no.

the one thing i do hate is all the

if (condition) command;

without brackets surrounding the block (which is often a multi-line statement). yes, it's legal but i find it less readable and more prone to errors.

the automatic formatter gets confused by the enum too. i wonder whether that's a problem.

(you also have variables with the same names as the enum values which, again, is confusing)

G_glop

How come you miss the library?

koogs

sorry, was confusing you with another question i answered today. you aren't using a lot of libraries.

it's just the (undocumented) ip file i don't have. or the server that it points to.

It doeen't matter that it exits immediately after it starts. If it runs it means that a perfectly valid java program causes PDE to report erros, pointing to a bug in the PDE.
