So I use PHPStorm, and for CSS I use SASS that complies to CSS. I have questions mainly about workflow.
I have things setup (or so I thought) that when I deploy everything/one file, .sass .scss etc files WONT be uploaded. However they still do when I use my shortcut to upload.
How do I make it so I can use my shortcut to upload the main.css and not the .scss file(s) without having to manually go into my main.css files every time first? Even sync uploads the damned scss files so I dont know whats up.
1. You did the exclusions wrong: .sass will exclude just THAT file and not any other, e.g. abc.sass.
To exclude all .sass files you have to use *.sass (just as hint below that field says -- nothing more, nothing less).
2. No way (unfortunately) -- but sync will be working properly now (after you fix your #1).
Automatic upload should also do the job just fine (but you will have to tick Upload external changes option as well).

we have a project in which there are a number of launch/debug options referenced in the top-level Visual Studio Code's .vscode/launch.json file.
The issue is that this file needs to be edited for custom local debug options so it constantly triggers Git issues when doing a pull (stash etc) and at worst, sometimes gets committed with changes people needed locally. Yes, I know that's what PRs are for but somehow they keep sneaking in...
Unfortunately there are plenty of entries in the launch.json that need to be shared between devs so ignoring it is not an option.
Ideally I'd like to keep launch.json clean and have it reference another file that devs can tinker with and keep that one out of source.
Is there a way to do this or maybe have an approach that amounts to the same thing?
thanks
with the extension Command Variable you can use the command extension.commandvariable.file.content to read parts of a file and use it in your launch config. You can place the file in your .vscode directory and place that file also in your .gitignore.
The file can be a Key-Value text file or a JSON file.
vscode keeps adding a file named .dccache. How can I prevent this?
It messes up the github diffs and I keep on having to add .dccache to the .gitignore for several different projects.
I can't find anything about why .dccache is being created in the first place
It can also be created by the Snyk extension.
I have the same file, I believe this is being created from DeepCode: https://www.deepcode.ai/
This is a code analysis tool to try to find issues. Check if you installed the DeepCode extension in VSCode if you want to get rid of this file, otherwise ignoring it should be fine.
The DeepCode plugins or the CLI is using this file to create a cache for the source code bundles send to the analysis engine. Without this cache, the collection and upload would be very time-consuming.
As it only serves as a caching mechanism, you can exclude it from git uploads and ignore it otherwise.
Snyk extention has a Help&Feedback tab, on the FAQ there is a 'Add custom .dcignore file to your workspace'.
Sometimes git ignore doesn't work for me
I used this file: https://github.com/DeepCodeAI/dcignore/blob/master/full.dcignore.js
just create .dcignore and copy all contents to that. I manually add .dccache and .dcignore just in case.
I had the same issue and when I disabled Snyk extension on VS code editor is disappeared, if you don't have Snyk installed and still have .dccache appearing every now and them, just keep an eye on the other extensions, disable each one at a time and see which one is creating the .dccache file
I have a project with coffeescript and brunch.
There is following config for files concatenation:
files:
javascripts:
joinTo:
'js/app.js': /^app(\/|\\)(?!templates)/
'js/vendor.js': /^vendor/
templates:
joinTo:
'js/templates.js': /^app\/templates/
When I just clone this project and build it, all works fine - I see all my source files in developer console.
Then I do some harmless modifications in any file in project (like adding a useless variable declaration or duplicating "return" statement), and strange things happens:
A builded code is valid and works fine, but there are no source maps available.
If I disable source maps at all, I still can see some wrong behaviour:
And in the same time, origin build file is absolutely valid (can't post third link, sorry): it has '//# sourceMappingURL=app.js.map' line in the end, without any trailing spaces or whatever else.
Any ideas what can this be and how to solve this problem?
I've found where I was wrong.
First. About broken files loaded by browser.
As I noticed in comment above, the problem was in environment. My files are served by nginx, running inside Vagrant VM - and it seems, that sync between local files and VM was broken.
My solution was following:
disable caching in VirtualBox (machine settings -> tab 'Storage' -> select controller -> uncheck 'Use Host I/O cache');
edit nginx config and set 'sendfile off' option in 'http' section.
Not sure this is absolutely right solution, but after this correct files was loaded by browser.
Second. About still absent maps for app.js in Chrome.
It's just my inattention. I'm using Webstorm, and periodically it proposes to enable watcher for coffeescript files I open. And if you agree (what I've accidentally did missing 'Agree' button instead of 'Dismiss'), it will compile that file at his own, creating .map and .js files alongside origin .coffee - of course, no matter to your brunch or whatever else settings. These additional files are displayed as subfolders of .coffee file, so it is very likely that you do not notice them. And exactly these files Chrome does not like. Until you remove them all, Chrome will not display any source maps, no matter to .map file created by brunch - while for FF it's not a problem.
On my mac I mounted a shared drive using WebDAV by going to "Finder > Go > Connect to server".
Now, when I try to view the files using TextWranger or TextEdit I can see the PHP code that I want to edit.
However, if I try to use an IDE like NetBeans/Eclipse/TextMate and create a new project with my shared drive as the "Existing sources" folder I cannot see the PHP code.
Instead I see the HTML output of the files as if I were seeing them through a web browser. Also, if I try to view a file that isn't normally accessibility (a command line script) I see the output as if it were called from the command line.
But a weird thing is if I use TextMate to edit a single file from the shared drive I can see the php code I am trying to edit. It just doesn't work as a project.
Any suggestions or solutions on how I can use an IDE to edit files over WebDAV? And why do my IDEs display the content rendered, instead of the actual file on the file system.
I'm not a specialist at all but I seem to remember that WebDAV clients do send GET requests.
If I'm correct your server may not be able to discriminate between HTTP GET and WebDAV GET thus rendering your .php files. Why this would work that way when working with a project and another way while working with individual files is not clear, though.
Do you get rendered files when you add files to your project manually as well?
I am currently coding with Eclipse PDT, and I need to synchronise the files on my workstation with the files on the FTP server.
I've installed RSE, but I can only download and edit files as far as I can see it. What I want to happen is when I hit save, the file is saved locally, and the file to be updated on the FTP site.
Any ideas of how I can achieve this?
Create an ant builder on your project. See this article about how to do that. The important things you should know after you read the article:
You can use Ant FTP task to
transfer the files.
You can define properties given by
the Eclipse platform to get project
root, list of changed files, change
type (add, modify, delete) and so on.
Use them wisely. You will need
project_loc, resource_loc and so on.
See picture at end to see how to get
other available variables that can be
passed to the script.
Tune your Ant script, since if it run
for each file update, then it can be
slow. If it is slow anyway, then you can create a builder plugin for eclipse, which is not so complicated. I created some before.
Be prepared, that ant script can get
not only one file as changed, but a
list.
