Does anyone us VSCODE with the CFML Editor Extension and know how to get the hover features to work?

@Jacob Beers is this something our extension supports?

Oh, intersting,. It appears yours extends a few others. Let me try it,

Let me know how it goes for you. It does a lot. 🙂

Same. the signature help, the hover, none of it seems to work

Not sure on that one. I am seeing if @Jacob Beers is around. He is the extension master.

Thanks!

Hi @mikechy! What hover features are you looking for exactly? Documentation support? Something like

HI @Jacob Beers - turns out it must have been something that had been installed and kept during a uninstall and re-install. I manually killed the folder that extensions were stored in that lived through an uninstall. Killed that, did a VS Code re-install, re-added the BoxLang ext and all seems to work now!

Awesome, glad to hear it! Sometimes nuking it from orbit is the way to go.

Yeah, that usually works, lol. thanks!

Now that its working, can you let us know how it works for you? 🙂

I am getting an error about not having Java 21 installed which I do. and I put the path into the settings.. I assume it's thepath to the java.exe?

A couple of things to try... • What is the output of

java --version

when run from a terminal? • What path did you set in the vscode settings? Was it the full path to java.exe or the path of the bin folder? • Are you using the JDK or the JRE? On my system (windows) I have the path set as

C:\\Program Files\\Eclipse Adoptium\\jdk-21.0.2.13-hotspot\\bin

- the double backslashes are required.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>java --version java 21.0.2 2024-01-16 LTS Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 21.0.2+13-LTS-58) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0.2+13-LTS-58, mixed mode, sharing)

It looks like there are 4 slashes between jdk-21 and bin. What if you try

C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk-21\\bin

same. as soon as I save I get the popup[ bottom right that java 21 is required

Hmm, that is odd. Can you try opening up your "output" tab and switching the drop down to "BoxLang"? There should be a message in the output window that starts with "This extension requires a version of java" The full output of that line might belp.

Switching to new JVM: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-21\bin\java.exe Switching to new JVM: C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk-21\\bin\\java.exe Switching to new JVM: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-21\in\ Switching to new JVM: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-21\bin\ Switching to new JVM: C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk-21\\bin\\ Switching to new JVM: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-21\bin Switching to new JVM: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-21\bin\ Switching to new JVM: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-21\bin Switching to new JVM: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-21\bin\ Switching to new JVM: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-21\bin

Hmm, so is there no line that starts with "This extension requires a version of java"?

not in the output

These are good issues to work through. Thanks for posting.

Np, thank you for sharing the problems you are running into. I've used vscode over SSH before but I didn't even think about how the boxlang extension would work through it.

Same for CFLint. Had to path it to the jar on the server.
