I want to remove trace commands while creating the compiled SWF file and while goggling I come to know that Setting Omit Trace Actions to 'true' will fulfill this requirement but when I am using this key value pair in configuration file it is giving compilation error, so what can be the reason and how to resolve this issue.
Kindly note I am using version 3 of Flex.
To get around this, I use a custom Trace class:
public class Trace {
public static var shouldTrace:Boolean = true;
public static function out(message:String):void {
if (shouldTrace) {
trace(message);
}
}
}
Then throughout my application I replace all my trace() calls with:
Trace.out("trace statement");
It's not quite as smooth while developing, but I can turn off all my trace statements by setting shouldTrace when I want to compile the release SWF.

Every time I step into the method (prepareStatusFilterQuery()) while unit testing with debug I got warning and debugger not stepping into the method. Warning:
Cannot find file '/3' locally. To fix it set server name by
environment variable PHP_IDE_CONFIG and restart debug session.
Other than this case debugger works fine.
This happens when you try to step into the code of a mock object.
There is no solution for it because the mock objects are instances of classes that are created during the execution of the test.
PHPUnit MockObjects uses reflection to gather information about the class you ask it to mock (the names and arguments of the public methods) then it generates the PHP code of a new class (that extends the mocked class) and runs it using eval().
The debugger is actually stepping into the method but PhpStorm cannot display the source code because there is no source code for it. Keep using the "Step Into" command and at some point the control will go back to code (of PHPUnit) whose source code is loaded from a file and PhpStorm can find it.
Just encountered this error. In my case it was caused by the method missing the private keyword:
class SomeClass {
function some_function_name () {
}
}
Should look like:
class SomeClass {
private function some_function_name () {
}
}
in Flex 3.2 Having troubles converting remote object result to specific object on client side in modules.
For example I have VIPSAdmin module.
it has function
private function doResult(event:ResultEvent):void {
var data_:Array = ArrayUtil.toArray(event.result);
var result:ResultDTO = data_[0] as ResultDTO;
if(!result.isError()) {
trace(result.result);
vipsAdminDTO = result.result as VIPSAdmin;
compId= vipsAdminDTO.compId; // second time dying here
}
}
Function invoked when I get data from remote objet.
First time all great,when I unload this modeule and load it again:
data_[0] as ResultDTO;
Performs fine, but
vipsAdminDTO = result.result as VIPSAdmin;
vipsAdminDTO always null!
Even when
trace(result.result);
produces [object VIPSAdmin]
What a heck I missing here!? Looks like it just cannot do
result.result as VIPSAdmin;
even when trace and debug says it is instance of VIPSAdmin
I've figured out what is the problem, problem is that when I first instantiate something in module then in main app, somehow classes are not alined even that they are identical !
So solution is to make a fake instance in application class first, then if you use that same class to make an instance in module it will work!
I do it very simple in my main application class I just added:
VIPSAdmin;
This seems to create some sort of ghost instance, which I belie will be pickup by GC later, but will build tables of instances properly! Which solved my problem.
Not sure if this is appropriate solution ! but it sure works.
I have unit test testing an action in my controller, the action writes to log4net.
When I run my action it works well - writes to log4net .
However , When I run the unit test - the action doesn't write to log4net but doesn't throw any exception.
Does anyone have a solution?
// ARRANGE
var memoryAppender = new MemoryAppender();
BasicConfigurator.Configure(memoryAppender);
// ACT
_sut.DoWhatever();
// ASSERT - using xunit - change the expression to fit your purposes
Assert.True(memoryAppender.GetEvents().Any(le => le.Level == Level.Warn), "Expected warning messages in the logs");
You don't need to add in another layer of indirection by using a logging interface (if you don't want to). I have used the abstracted way for years, but now am moving towards just using the MemoryAppender as it is testing what is actually happening. Just be sure to .Clear() the appender after each test.
Log4net does not throw exceptions: http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/faq.html
Writing to an log on disk or in a database in a unit test is counterproductive; the whole point is automation. You shouldn't have to check the logs every time you run tests.
If you truly need to verify that a call was made to log something, you should mock the ILog interface and assert that the appropriate method was called.
If you are using a mocking framework, this is trivial. If you aren't, you can create a TestLogger class that implements or partially implements ILog and exposes extra properties that show how many times a given method was called. Your assertions will check that the methods were called as expected.
Here is an example of a class to be tested:
public class MyComponent
{
private readonly ILog _log;
public MyComponent(ILog log)
{
_log = log;
}
public string DoSomething(int arg)
{
_log.InfoFormat("Argument was [{0}]", arg);
return arg.ToString();
}
}
and the test (using Rhino.Mocks to mock the ILog):
[TestClass]
public class MyComponentTests
{
[TestMethod]
public void DoSomethingTest()
{
var logger = MockRepository.GenerateStub<ILog>();
var component = new MyComponent(logger);
var result = component.DoSomething(8);
Assert.AreEqual("8", result);
logger.AssertWasCalled(l => l.InfoFormat(Arg<string>.Is.Anything, Arg<int>.Is.Equal(8)));
}
}
Try adding:
[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator()]
To the AssemblyInfo.cs (or init log4net any other way).
Or try using AssemblyInitialize as suggested in this answer.
It is your log4net configuration. Right now it might be in your web.config or log4net.config file in the web/bin. You have to place it in a common location and make it discoverable by both web app and test. Or you have to put it into your unittest.project=>app.config file. But if you have many test projects, it would be duplicated in number of places. So the ideal would be to put it in a common place.
Here's another possible solution if none of the other solutions work for you...
Try writing your log file to the root of the c drive. By default, I set log4net to write to the current directory which is always the directory the unit test is running from right?... wrong! I'm running windows 8 with vs 2012 using MS Unit Test, and it writes the file to a local temp directory which gets deleted after the unit test completes. In my setup it writes the file to here:
C:\Users\[myself]\AppData\Local\Temp\TestResults
Bottom line, any unit tests I write for now on, are going to use a full absolute log file path and not a relative one.
Recently, I suddenly began getting the current exception being thrown from a Flex library. The file I was working on (Login.mxml) suddenly began throwing up this exception while loading.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Running it in the debugger doesn't give me a line of my code that is in error, but it does give me a line in StaticPropertyWatcher. Specifically:
override public function updateParent(parent:Object):void
{
// The assumption is that parent is of type, Class, and that
// the class has a static variable or property,
// staticEventDispatcher, of type IEventDispatcher.
parentObj = Class(parent);
if (parentObj["staticEventDispatcher"] != null) /* Exception thrown from here */
{
...
The debugger shows the parentObj is indeed null, explaining the immediate reason for the exception, but I can't seem to determine the deeper cause (i.e. what I did wrong). The updateParent method is being called from the _components_LoginWatcherSetupUtil class, but the debugger says there is no code for that, so the crucial connection between what I wrote and what caused the exception is missing.
So, basically, I can't even debug this. Any ideas for what to do to shed light on what's going wrong?
Your error is being reported as Login.mxml:0
When I see line 0 as the error it tells me that there is a syntax error of some sort. Open string maybe?
I would suggest looking at the file and see if it is set up properly.
Post the full Login.mxml file and let us look at it.
After laboriously adding back every change I made since last committing to my repository, I tracked down the culprit to this problem. Basically, there were several static variables used to keep track of server addresses like this:
public static var MAIN:String = "http://192.168.1.1/";
public static var MANAGE:String = MAIN + "Manage/";
The issue was that I used a non-compile-time constant MAIN to initialize MANAGE. Changing these variables to const fixed the problem.
public static const MAIN:String = "http://192.168.1.1/";
public static const MANAGE:String = MAIN + "Manage/";
Hopefully this will help anyone else coming across this problem
I can't get NVelocity to initialize. I'm not trying to do anything complicated, so it's just fine if it initializes at the defaults, but it won't even do that.
This:
VelocityEngine velocity = new VelocityEngine();
ExtendedProperties props = new ExtendedProperties();
velocity.Init(props);
Results in: "It appears that no class was specified as the ResourceManager..."
So does this:
VelocityEngine velocity = new VelocityEngine();
velocity.Init();
I can find precious little documentation on what the properties should be, nor how to get it to initialize with the simple defaults. Can anyone point to a resource?
A lot of pages point back to this page:
http://www.castleproject.org/others/nvelocity/usingit.html
But this page skips over the (seemingly) most important point -- how to set the properties and what to set them to.
I just want to load a simple template from a file.
Here's what I found out --
I was using the original NVelocity library, which hasn't had an update since 2003. I think it's a dead project.
I switched to the Castle Project version, and it's much easier -- in fact, it runs much like the examples on the page I linked to. It seems to set intelligent defaults for properties. I can initialize it without any properties set, but the template directory defaults to ".", so I generally set that one (do it before running "init").
To get the correct DLL, you need to download the latest NVelocity release (as of this writing it's 1.1).

You need to include the following files in your assembly, and make sure that their type is set to "Resource"
src\Runtime\Defaults\directive.properties
src\Runtime\Defaults\nvelocity.properties
These will then be found by ResourceLocator
src\Runtime\Resource\Loader\ResourceLocator.cs
If you get an exception on GetManifestResourceNames() as I did when trying to run Dvsl, then try modifying the ResourceLocator constructor to catch and ignore the error since the required files are in your local assembly (if you included them above) and the exception is only thrown by external assemblies (no idea why).
foreach(Assembly a in assemblies) {
String prefix = a.FullName.Substring(0,a.FullName.IndexOf(",")).ToLower();
try
{
String[] names = a.GetManifestResourceNames();
foreach (String s in names)
{
if (s.ToLower().Equals(fn) || s.ToLower().Equals(prefix + "." + fn))
{
this.filename = s;
assembly = a;
isResource = true;
}
}
} catch {
}
}
