I am trying to run an automated test and one of the steps of a test case is to clear the Ace Editor and insert text in it.
Earlier I had regular content editable DIV and I was able to insert text in it but not anymore after switching to Ace Editor.
All I am doing is calling "clear" method on the element and then "sendText" on it.
I tried adding "click" method before clear to make sure Ace Editor does have the focus and it did bring the focus to Ace Editor but it still throws an error that element should be user-editable to clear it.
I also tried putting a sleep of 5s before clearing it just in case, Clearing is getting triggered before Ace makes the div contenteditable.
Here's the exact error to be precise.
Failed: invalid element state: Element must be user-editable in order to clear it.
Tricky question.
Since Ace Editor is not native browser element, i looked up on api that they are provide. Seems like you can use .selection.selectAll() and .removeLines()
If i would be you - i would try to call JS function, that selects everything, and calls .removeLines()
await browser.executeScript(`editor_reference.selection.selectAll(); editor_reference.removeLines()`) // variable will be diferent, depending how you connected editor object
http://www.protractortest.org/#/api?view=webdriver.WebDriver.prototype.executeScript
https://ace.c9.io/#nav=api&api=editor
You can see how it works right on their example page (https://ace.c9.io/) - execute this in browser console, editor should get cleared:
editor.selection.selectAll(); editor.removeLines()
send ctrl-a keys (cmd-a on mac) to select all before typing, so that clearing is not needed
I have no experience working with Ace editor before. I used demo ace editor from https://ace.c9.io/build/kitchen-sink.html to find a solution for the issue you are facing.
I tested the below piece of code in the demo Ace editor and it works fine.Not sure how the ace editor is implemented in your application.You can try it in your application and provide your thoughts.
browser.actions().mouseMove($(".ace_active-line")).click()
.sendKeys(protractor.Key.chord(protractor.Key.COMMAND, "a"))
.sendKeys(protractor.Key.BACK_SPACE)
.sendKeys("content in line1\ncontent in line2")
.perform()
If you are using windows machine then use protractor.Key.CONTROL instead of protractor.Key.COMMAND.
Hope this will work fine!

Rather then acting like a word document (for lack of a better way of putting it)
When I am using VS code, when I click into a new html document for example, it behaves as if I am I am typing in the termainal.
This used to happen to me when I would copy/paste something into the document.
I checked my shortcuts and could not see anything, thought it might be a problem with an exentsion or vs code itself. Uninstalled vs code and all my extensions and it did resolve the problem but it is back now, but as I said only occurs when I click into another file.
i use visual studio code to create my flutter app, but since 1 month ago, i detected as if the editor have a double autocomplete.
When i write for example: "Container" i have the autocomplete while i'm writing, but if i press Enter it won't add the brackets at the end (before, it did!)
And, if i write: "child" i have the autocomplete while i'm writing, but if i press Enter, the cursor will be with a selection, and there is no autocomplete until i click in somewhere to remove the auto-selection, or i write the command completely without autocomplete.
It's like if there were a double autocomplete in conflict, that select the words after i press enter.
Autocomplete working:
Strange auto-selection and then no-autocomplete:
Furthermore, if i write "setState" and press Enter to autocomplete the function, i get the whole function selected and tabbed of 4 tabulation on the right. Same for initState.
I tried to disable every extension and restart, but i had same problem.
I'm so slow now to write flutter code, because i have to remember every CamelCase word and property and write them in every single char, or click in somewhere to make autocomplete works.
Fixed!
In setting i had to disable LSP.
"dart.previewLsp": false
I've the same issue, after some research I found this:
https://github.com/Dart-Code/Dart-Code/issues/2823#issuecomment-725630953
I'm not sure this is the right way because I didn't have try yet but the problem on GitHub issues seams the same you describe, apparently this solution works with LSP enabled
Is there any way to completely remove this message popup or move it to somewhere?
I already know why this message comes, but I do not want to disturb my activity with annoying info popup.
When it pops up it hides the document tab, so I have to close it every single time. (I do not want to know how to fix this particular error message, this screenshot is just an example.)
It's very annoying and I've searched around for a way to remove it, but the answers keep saying how to fix that particular error and not how to hide the popup itself.
Press ESC.
I agree that this is really annoying. VS Code is all about high-speed workflow and not having to interact with anything except your code via keyboard. Everything has key chords, e.g. CTRL-P and CTRL-SHIFT-P. So having to stop what I'm doing, go to the mouse, and dismiss this popup, whenever a background task feels like completing (and not even really then, because the popup actually appears some short time later) just so I can get visual confirmation of which file I'm currently coding in, to refocus my work after being distracted by the same popup, is really awkward. They are in a stupid location and don't even fade away after time like well-behaved toasts.
That said, I think that's really two parts; the distraction, and relatively high workflow cost to dismiss.
It helped me a lot to learn that it can be dismissed quickly and easily with the ESC key. The other half the problem I still haven't solved, but hope that helps you.
In the screenshot it shows trying to validate PHP.
In a VS Code window select File > Preferences > User Settings
An editor will open on the left called Default Settings and on the right with a file called settings.json
In the right side editor you can add settings that will override those found in the left-hand-side one.
Between the braces type:
// Whether php validation is enabled or not.
"php.validate.enable": false,
Then save the document.
VS Code will no longer attempt to validate PHP files.
You can override any of the defaults using this method.
You can use the same technique for each Workspace (or project folder) using File > Preferences > Workspace Settings
You can't disable the alert bar in general as VS Code needs to tell you things and doesn't (thankfully) use modal dialogs to communicate.
Go to File > preferences > settings
Then add this to your user settings
"editor.parameterHints": false
You may want to try adding the line
"extensions.ignoreRecommendations": true
to your VS Code settings file (which you can easily reach with the keystroke (CMD + ,) on a Mac OS X or macOS system.)
Solution: User Preferences > change "editor.parameterHints": true to "editor.parameterHints": false
This will at least remove the obstructive boxes that appear above the cursor.
How do I get rid of this underline? When I hover over it, it thinks it's a link and that I can cmd + click it to open it in browser. However, it's obstructing the view of actual underlines.
I'm specifically using Go's templating engine and vscode's basic HTML syntax because it's not supported.
I think I found a solution for your problem.
Add this code to your User Settings;
"editor.links": false
If you want to keep links clickable and just get rid of the underlines, I found a way:
open resources\app\out\vs\workbench\workbench.desktop.main.css
search for .monaco-editor .detected-link, and delete it.
Reopen VSCode, it will show some warning. Allow it and it's done.
After every update, you'll need to edit this file again.
Coming from Visual Studio and starting a project in Java, I realized I couldn't cope with having to press ctrl+space to have the autocomplete panel show up. An easy workaround was to set all keyboard characters to be trigger characters for autocompletion.
My only problem is that, when presented with autocomplete suggestions, a single press on the space bar will write the first proposition. In situations where I'm happy with the suggestions, that's just fine. In situations where I actually want to use what I wrote down initially, I have to press 'escape' first to remove the autocomplete panel before I can press 'space' safely.
Netbeans doesn't use the space bar as a validating key for autocompletion (only 'enter' does that) and I like that behavior. Any way to replicate it in Eclipse?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
EDIT: I should have mentioned I'm using Eclipse on the Mac.

I have the same problem with Eclipse Indigo on Windows XP actually. Coming from intellij idea, I also felt the need to set the whole keyboard to trigger auto-complete.
A quick proof that SPACE key does accept suggestions : type inte on a new line. If the auto-complete menu shows, press SPACE. It goes for Integer.
If anyone knows how to set the SPACE key to "ignore suggestions", it would be great, because the escape key on my keyboard is also too far away :)
Thanks
Edit : actually the best would be to have only the ENTER key validating, because ';' and '(' also seem to validate
I just tried to reproduce your behavior, but couldn't. Here is the configuration I have (and the steps I have done to reproduce):
I have installed Indigo (current version of Eclipse, version number 3.7).
I did not change any configuration there, this is what is the default:
Under Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist, I have the following settings:
Completion inserts (instead of overwrite)
Insert single proposal automatically (which is ok most of the time)
not insert common prefix automatically
I have a simple class, go down to a method, and do the following steps:
Enter this.no and wait some time. Sometimes I have to press CTRL + SPACE, sometimes not.
Proposal pops up which includes notify and notifyAll.
I press SPACE and a space is inserted in the text, the autocomplete suggestions are closed without inserting anything.
I do not know if older versions of eclipse have the same behavior.
