I have been using VS code instead of eclipse for the last few weeks and find it much quicker, easier to use. However there is one thing I can’t seem to figure out.
My php app calls a prepend file which initiates a class called GlobalClass:
$gc = new GlobalClass();
When I type $gc-> in eclipse I get all the functions prompted. This doesn’t work within VS Code.
If I add use GlobalClass or add the $gc = new GlobalClass(); to the top of the file then it works. Is there any way to declare this within VS Code or to point the editor to the code within the prepend file?

I rely heavily on the File: Open Recent… command to open frequently used files, but yesterday my local Google Drive folder got moved to a new location and now I can no longer access any of the files in that folder through the Open Recent panel because the paths don't match.
The fix would be as simple as replacing "/Google Drive/" with "/Google Drive/My Drive/" but I have no idea what file contains the list of files that appears in the recently opened panel.
I'm assuming it's somewhere in ~/Library/Application Support/Code but not sure where.
I was wondering the same thing the other day and found this while searching for a solution, so I took some time to investigate it today.
It's been a a few weeks since you posted, so hopefully this will still be of help to you.
Also, I'm using Windows and I'm not familiar with macOS, but I think it should be easy enough adjust the solution.
Location of settings
Those setting are stored in the following file: %APPDATA%\Code\User\globalStorage\state.vscdb.
The file is an sqlite3 database, which is used as a key-value store.
It has a single table named ItemTable and the relevant key is history.recentlyOpenedPathsList.
The value has the following structure:
{
"entries": [
{
"folderUri": "/path/to/folder",
"label": "...",
"remoteAuthority": "..."
}
]
}
To view the current list, you can run the following command:
sqlite3.exe -readonly "%APPDATA%\Code\User\globalStorage\state.vscdb" "SELECT [value] FROM ItemTable WHERE [key] = 'history.recentlyOpenedPathsList'" | jq ".entries[].label"
Modifying the settings
Specifically, I was interested in changing the way it's displayed (the label), so I'll detail how I did that, but it should be just as easy to update the path.
Here's the Python code I used to make those edits:
import json, sqlite3
# open the db, get the value and parse it
db = sqlite3.connect('C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/Code/User/globalStorage/state.vscdb')
history_raw = db.execute("SELECT [value] FROM ItemTable WHERE [key] = 'history.recentlyOpenedPathsList'").fetchone()[0]
history = json.loads(history_raw)
# make the changes you'd like
# ...
# stringify and update
history_raw = json.dumps(history)
db.execute(f"UPDATE ItemTable SET [value] = '{history_raw}' WHERE key = 'history.recentlyOpenedPathsList'")
db.commit()
db.close()
Code references
For reference (mostly for my future self), here are the relevant source code areas.
The settings are read here.
The File->Open Recent uses those values as-is (see here).
However when using the Get Started page, the Recents area is populated here. In the Get Started, the label is presented in a slightly different way:
vscode snapshot
The folder name is the link, and the parent folder is the the text beside it.
This is done by the splitName method.
Notes
Before messing around with the settings file, it would be wise to back it up.
I'm not sure how vscode handles and caches the settings, so I think it's best to close all vscode instances before making any changes.
I haven't played around with it too much, so not sure how characters that need to be json-encoded or html-encoded will play out.
Keep in mind that there might be some state saved by other extensions, so if anything weird happens, blame it on that.
For reference, I'm using vscode 1.74.2.

I am testing my eclipse rcp app GUI using a tool called RCPTT.
In rcptt, i want to check that a specific editor is opened or not.
right now i am using
get-view "Console" | get-table | is-disabled | verify-false
but this is wrong way to do verification.
using this code, if the console is not opened, than it click on console and do verification.
It passed all time.
So, is there any way to
- first get the current view(which view is displaying currently to user.)
- then verify this view.
Thanks
You can not solve it within ECL, there's no support for this.
However you can solve it with Java code. It's not easy, could be a few hours of work.
1) Write a Java method that detects the name of the active View and returns it as a String
2) Make sure it's part of your application as a static class's static method
3) Invoke it from your ECL script with the invoke-static command
4) Compare the returned value in ECL script to what you've expected
Check methods parseComposites(), viewOrEditorIsFocused() and checkNextComposite() from this tutorial:
https://openchrom.wordpress.com/2011/08/12/capture-a-snapshot-of-the-active-vieweditor-in-a-rcp-application/
You do not need all the code from it and you need some editing too.
If you make an error/typo at points 2) or 3), then RCPTT-runner will simply throw an Exception without further explanation; be careful there.
Hello,
I'm an eclipse plugin development newbie looking for pointers to get me started on a particular project.
I am trying to build an eclipse plugin that will automatically construct a working set from a text file that simply consists of a list of file path names. The files/items need not share any parent directories. The rough idea is represented in the following diagram:
I am not asking for the solution to this task. That's the over-arching goal. To achieve that goal, I want to conquer some smaller goals first.
With that in mind, here's the smaller goal I'm currently trying to tackle:
In Eclipse, how can I prompt the user for a single file's path, and then add that file to an existing working set?
I'm not sure where to start. Should I work directly off of the existing org.eclipse.ui.workingSets extension point? Or should I use a collection of other extension points? How do I convert strings into something that can be added to a working set? Do I write code that directly modifies the workingsets.xml file?
Even with a much simpler goal, I still feel quite overwhelmed with the vastness of eclipse extension options. There are probably many ways to go about implementing something like this, but I just need one to get started.
Thanks a bunch!
To manipulate working sets you use the working set manager interface IWorkingSetManager. Get this with:
IWorkingSetManager manager = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getWorkingSetManager();
From this you can get a particular working by name with:
IWorkingSet workingSet = manager.getWorkingSet("name");
The contents of a working set is an array of IAdaptable objects:
IAdaptable [] contents = workingSet.getElements();
You add to the contents by adding to this array and setting the contents:
IAdaptable [] newContents
.... get new array with old contents + new contents
workingSet.setElements(newContents);
A lot of Eclipse objects implement IAdaptable, for a file in the workspace you would use IFile. You can use dialogs such as ResourceSelectionDialog to select resources from the workspace.
Is there any shortcut that will allow me to auto generate my typescript imports? Like hitting ctrl+space next to the type name and having the import declaration placed at the top of the file. If not, what about intellisense for filling out the module reference path so that I wont have to do it manually? I would really love to use vscode but having to do manual imports for typescript is killing me.
There are rumors of making it support tsconfig.json (well, better than rumors). This will allow us to be able to use all files for our references.
Your feature would be to create an auto import of all commonly used 3rd party libs into the typings. Perhaps auto scan the files and create a list of ones to go gather. Wouldn't it be fine to just have a quick way to add several of these using tsd directly from Code (interactively)?
I believe the plugin called "TypeScript Importer" does exactly what You mean: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pmneo.tsimporter .
Automatically searches for TypeScript definitions in workspace files and provides all known symbols as completion item to allow code completion.
With it You can truly use Ctrl+Space to choose what exactly You would like to be imported.
You can find and install it from Ctrl+Shift+X menu or just by pasting ext install tsimporter in Quick Open menu opened with Ctrl+P.
I know a solution for Visual Studio (not Visual Studio Code, I'm using the 2015 Community edition, which is free), but it needs some setup and coding -- however, I find the results to be adequate.
Basically, in Visual Studio, when using the Web-Essentials extension, .ts files can be dragged into the active document to automatically generate a relative reference path comment:
/// <reference path="lib/foo.ts" />
With which of course we might as well wipe it, because it's an import statement we need, not a reference comment.
For this reason, I recently wrote the following command snippet for Visual Commander, but it should be easily adaptable to other use casese as well. With Visual Commander, your drag the needed imports into the open document, then run the following macro:
using EnvDTE;
using EnvDTE80;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
public class C : VisualCommanderExt.ICommand
{
// Called by Visual Commander extension.
public void Run(EnvDTE80.DTE2 DTE, Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Package package)
{
TextDocument doc = (TextDocument)(DTE.ActiveDocument.Object("TextDocument"));
var p = doc.StartPoint.CreateEditPoint();
string s = p.GetText(doc.EndPoint);
p.ReplaceText(doc.EndPoint, this.ReplaceReferences(s), (int)vsEPReplaceTextOptions.vsEPReplaceTextKeepMarkers);
}
// Converts "reference" syntax to "ES6 import" syntax.
private string ReplaceReferences(string text)
{
string pattern = "\\/\\/\\/ *<reference *path *= *\"([^\"]*)(?:\\.ts)\" *\\/>";
var regex = new Regex(pattern);
var matches = Regex.Matches(text, pattern);
return Regex.Replace(text, pattern, "import {} from \"./$1\";");
}
}
When running this snippet, all reference comments in the active document will be replaced with import statements. The above example is converted to:
import {} from "./lib/foo";
This has just been released in version 1.18.
From the release notes:
Auto Import for JavaScript and TypeScript
Speed up your coding with auto imports for JavaScript and TypeScript. The suggestion list now includes all exported symbols in the current project. Just start typing:
If you choose one of the suggestion from another file or module, VS Code will automatically add an import for it. In this example, VS Code adds an import for Hercules to the top of the file:
Auto imports requires TypeScript 2.6+. You can disable auto imports by setting "typescript.autoImportSuggestions.enabled": false.
The files attributes in the tsconfig.json file allows you to set your reference imports in your whole project. It is supported with Visual Studio Code, but please note that if you're using a specific build chain (such as tsify/browserify) it might not work when compiling your project.
I want to implement the function like embedding the socket function in my Lua build.
So I don't need to copy socket.core.dll any more (just for fun).
I search the maillist, and see some guys discuss the topic,
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2005-10/msg00269.html
But I have question for the details steps, who could give me a detailed steps for changing the lua and luasocket code to make them work together (not with dll method).
I tried these steps in windows xp with VC2008:
1) copy luasocket code to Lua project.
2) add some code
static const luaL_Reg lualibs[] = {
{"", luaopen_base},
{LUA_LOADLIBNAME, luaopen_package},
{LUA_TABLIBNAME, luaopen_table},
{LUA_IOLIBNAME, luaopen_io},
{LUA_OSLIBNAME, luaopen_os},
{LUA_STRLIBNAME, luaopen_string},
{LUA_MATHLIBNAME, luaopen_math},
{LUA_DBLIBNAME, luaopen_debug},
{LUA_SOCKETLIBNAME, luaopen_socket_core}, // add this line
{LUA_MIMELIBNAME, luaopen_socket_core}, // add this line
{NULL, NULL}
};
3) build the project, and run it.
When I type print(socket._VERSION), it shows luasocket 2.0.2, it is correct.
When I type print(socket.dns.toip("localhost")), it shows 127.0.0.1 table: 00480AD0, it is correct too.
But when I try to use other features, for example bind, it can't work.
Who could tell me the reason?
you need put luasocket stuff into the package.preload table, in this way:
lua_getfield(L, LUA_GLOBALSINDEX, "package");
lua_getfield(L, -1, "preload");
lua_pushcfunction(L, luaopen_socket_core);
lua_setfield(L, -2, "socket.core");
// add mime.core yourself...
luasocket is a mixed C/lua module, you need to bundle both versions into your application if you want it to work without any extra files.
socket.lua loads socket.core (from socket/core.dll)
mime.lua loads mime.core (from mime/core.dll)
So in order for your application to work you will need to build all the .dll files and the .lua files into your application and manually load them (or set them up to be loaded correctly via custom package loaders).
The email you quoted is tweaking the package.preload table (in a way that appears a tad odd now but might work anyway) to get the built-in C code to be loaded correctly when require is called.
Try running
for k, v in pairs(socket) do print(k, v) end
and maybe we'll be able to help.
