Next Error in Project

Answered

Hi,

Is there a way to get to the next build error in the whole project while in the Java editor without changing focus?

Thanks,

Not at the moment I'm afraid, but this functionality should be introduced with our updated Problems View tool window (Alt+6) sometime soon.

So far, the view has been implemented with certain limitations (like highlighting errors for current file only), but the developers are working on making this view project-wide (ideally, any scope-wide) as we speak.

Don't think I can provide any solid ETA at the moment, but you can vote for IDEA-68854 and subscribe to updates on its progress. There are quite a lot of users waiting for the change to happen.

See this article if you are not familiar with YouTrack.

That is really fantastic to hear. I will look for it in the EAP. This is probably the biggest single thing I miss from Eclipse. I suppose the other is probably the particular way that Eclipse implemented continuous build. That's definitely been improving in IDEA too though.

Thanks for the info!

How do I go to the next failing assertion in a test run? It's not F2 - that goes to the next misspelled word in the current file.

The guideline here should be "failing tests are syntax errors"

@Phlip As far as I know, there is no shortcut that could do it. But if you use the shortcut (alt+4/⌘ 4) to focus on the Run/Debug tool window, press the up/down arrow, and press enter can go to the failed test in the code file.

When I used MS Visual Studio in the 1990s, it treated failing assertions as syntax errors, meaning the editor automatically goes to the failing line without mouse abuse. And I could get the debugger to breakpoint on the failing assertion, too.
