I really hope project scanng improves before the final release.

for history see:

5646 feedback Project file scanning better - still problematic

Reset sticky data (-A) on CVS update doesn't work - http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEA-9015

It's driving me nuts.

ANT Build Jump toSource doesn't work for tasks in imported ant files.

This is definitely an upgrade showstopper for us (working with CVS offline continuously times out):

http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEA-9133

If IDEA detects the CVS server connection failure, it should display a warning (including "do not display this message in the future"), remember the state and silently fail during the rest of the session. It must be possible to work on CVS projects offline without being driven up the wall by modal CVS error messages.

Thanks,
Peter

CVS update fails with updating a binary file to a selected version from
the cvs history view:

Ant is not showing targets defined in included build files, which means they ca't be run inside Idea. This used to work in 5.x and needs to be fixed before the 6.0 release.

The inability to run JUnit 4.x based Parameterized tests: http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEADEV-7348

Parametrized tests are one of the major value adds to JUnit 4. As such, IMHO, one can claim JUnit 4 support without supporting parameterized tests.

IDEA v6 failure to support paramertized tests is even highlighted in the devX article on JUnit4 (http://www.devx.com/Java/Article/31983) which is linked to from the JUnit.org homepage.

D'oh... Of course I meant to say "...on can not claim JUnit 4 support without supporting parameterized tests".

Why is it you can proofread a post 5 times, and not see a typo like that, and then see it the moment you hit "Post Message"?

The fault was actually my version of TortoiseSVN that modified the working copy in such way that it's not accessible with Subclipse either. Subclipse at least gives a clear message:"svn: This client is too old to work with working copy 'SomeProject'; please get a newer Subversion client ".

Are you sure you aren't using Tortoise SVN 1.4?

This has exactly the same symptoms and is caused by the working-copy structure being incompatible between Subversion 1.3 and 1.4.

Hmm and you editted your message before I could reply ;)

Let me guess: you're using Tortoise's beta version. The beta version uses subversion 1.4, which uses a new working copy format that's not backwards compatible.

Oh, vote for http://jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEA-9204 if you care :)

The build 5661, released today, contains an initial implementation of CVS
offline mode. Could you please try it out, and tell us if it works sufficiently
well, or if there are problems remaining?

It's not just project file scanning. For me, even the IDE startup time is very noticeably slower than 5.1.2. As for opening a project, improvements have been made in the latest EAP builds but 5.1.2 is still much quicker on the exact same project.

That should not happen. Startup is made really faster in 6.0. Could you please take a snaphot of what is going on with your project?

Yes i upgraded to 1.4 and didn't read the fine print (actually there was a big warning) :)

Hi Eugene

I did some measurements.

For 6.0:
Time to show splash screen = 25 sec
Time till IDE is open at the welcome page = 45 sec
Time to open project (show open files) = 150 sec
Time for CPU usage to drop back to 0 after opening project = 215 sec

The last time is there because once the project opened, the CPU usage stayed at 100% for another 65 seconds.

For 5.1.2:
Time to show splash screen = 10 sec
Time till IDE is open at the welcome page = 20 sec
Time to open project (show open files) = 120 sec

With 5.1.2, the CPU usage dropped back to 0 immediately after the project opened.

I have recently added a few more plugins loaded for 6.0 (eg Hungry Backspace) compared with 5.1.2 but the issue has been there for a long time before that.

I took a CPU snapshot for the 6.0 project open test. Can I ftp it somewhere?

Thanks.

It is marked as fixed, but it does not work in #5661. Several quick
fixes of InspectionGadgets are a bit handicapped by this bug. And I also
need it fixed for my update to the Lineage plugin (for easy subclassing).

could the "work offline" setting be maintained when reopening the project (since it blocks for ~30 secs when open the project when I can't route to the server)

It's of course easy to remember this setting, but is it the right thing to
do, or should the problem of initial project opening be solved in some other
way? What do others think?

(I'd rather not clutter the Welcome screen with any CVS-related controls,
but I can probably make the "Work offline" toggle action available in the
main menu when no project is open.)

An online/offline indicator/toggle action is something that IMO belongs into the
status bar. See the screenshot taken from Thunderbird.

Currently the offline status is stored per CVS root (assuming that it's not
only the client which can be offline but also a particular server), which
is not too easy to fit in a single status bar indicator. Is this an over-complication
that should be changed to a simple global offline flag?

Ah, that makes sense, but I think that in 95% of the "offline" cases the network
cord is unplugged or the company network isn't reachable. Maybe it could be a
tri-state icon in the status bar that also indicates the case when just some
roots are offline and which has a Hector-like popup menu that allows to toggle
the global state as well as the per-root states in case there's a real need for it.

I agree there are actually two situations to cover (general lack of a
network connection and unavailability of a specific server) but I agree
with Sascha that most of the time it's the former situation that will
exist (and, if you only use one VCS server, the latter is effectively
the same as the former).

I'd vote for a simple global online/offline flag that all VCS clients
should respect. Or perhaps it could be per-project (and stored in the
.iws) since I'd imagine most projects are unlikely to have more than one
VCS configured.

Unfortunately I can't promise that offline mode will be supported for any
other clients besides CVS in 6.0. (For Perforce, there's already the "Perforce
is enabled" flag. For Subversion, this should be much less of an issue because
most operations performed by IDEA in background will only touch your local
copy. And for StarTeam and VSS... well, we'll see if we can fit it in.)

We really need this. StarTeam support is a show stopper. Thanks!

Dmitry,

I'd also vote for a simple global online/offline flag which represents the client state (= network unplugged). The setting should persist over two IDEA working sessions. In my case this would cover 100% of all cases, since I have only one CVS server and I always start with the blank desktop (no automatic open of project).

Thanks,
Peter

i vote for the above (starteam) with as many votes as possible... please include support for task pinning otherwise starteam integration is practically useless
