Significant regression in flex support in 9825

Hi.

In build 9825 [1], I'm experiencing immediate, multiple NPEs on opening of flex probject.  Syntax checking works for a bit, and then more errors accumulate until actionscript files no longer syntax check (no highlighting, no assist, transparent square in upper right).

I submitted a bunch of stack traces on Friday afternoon (US Pacific); there must have been at least a half dozen different traces.

It's too bad, because for the time that it actually works, it seems like it's getting a lot faster/better.

Thanks so much for your work on flex support, but it seems we've still got some way to go with this.

Best,

-c

[1] and only in 9825, previous builds didn't show these errors on the same source files, and I've been tracking Diana weekly.

Thanks Maxim, with the above jars, I'm no longer seeing exceptions.  Also, it's much faster.

However, I am seeing a huge amount of logging output from the flex debugger.  I'll post a separate bug about that.

Thanks a bunch,

Unfortunately, while the exceptions have gone away, idea is no longer recognizing undefined types/variables in actionscript code.  When an undefined class/variable is used, no popup or red highlighting is presented.

Thanks,

Please attach idea.log file to the JIRA issue

I am using the official 8.1.1 build (#9833) and the FlexSupport/JavaScriptLanguage patches for OS-X 10.5.6 - no problems as mentioned by Christopher (stack traces, unrecognized variables, large log files).

Regards,
Peter

Clearing the idea caches directory fixed the problem with unrecognized variables.


Thanks a bunch for this, Maxim, it's getting really good!
