When I click the run button in Aptana, my application is opened in a browser using Aptana's built-in web server.
I have a couple of run configurations set up for running on an internal server (one for chrome one for ff), but I find having to use the run button's drop down menu every time I want to run my application quite tedious. I'd rather just click the green button and have it use one of my internal server configurations.
When I press run now, a new configuration called "Default" is created using the built-in web server. Is there any way to set one of my internal server configurations as the default?
When pressing Run, it executes the last run configuration. It looks like you could bind a key to a specific configuration by using:

I do most of my dev work locally but ocassionally I have to switch over to using a preconfigured jupyterlab instance on GCP. The way things are set up now, I'm unable to ssh into these notebook servers and the only way for me to interact with them is through the jupyterlab integrated terminal.
I have custom save hook functions set up in my local environment for testing, linting, etc.--comes in really handy for keeping everything in a production-ready state and I'd like to be able to set up a sort of "environment as code" system where when I pull updated code into a new environment, the customized configuration would move with it and take effect automatically. I suppose the proper way to do this would be to use a Docker image and rebuild the cloud instance from scratch every time it needs an update but it kind of seems like overkill for such minor changes. (Also the Google docker images don't work that well on my M1 MacBook ).
I have two WPF applications in the same solution. One is a configuration helper for the other and needs to be run before the 'big' app is run. In the VS Setup project I have included the Primary Output from both applications.
I want to run the configuration helper during the Commit phase of setup so I added a Custom Action consisting of the Primary Output of configuration helper and marked the Installer Class as false.
When I run the resulting msi, both applications are installed in the same folder as desired, but I then get an error that 'a program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.' The msi then uninstalls.
I was hoping the configuration helper would be kicked off as the msi exits, but would also be happy with the installer hanging open until the configuration helper exits.
What am I missing?
The program you ran as a custom action has failed, probably crashed. It may need some extra error checking or tracing to see what's going on. Programs that run as custom actions are not in the same environment as running them from the interactive user's desktop. The working directory is probably not what you expect (so file paths must be specified in full) and it's probably running with the system account, because that's the way Everyone installs work, so any assumptions about user locations (including the interactive user's desktop, user folders, access to the network, access to databases, ability to show forms) will be wrong and are likely to be failure points. It's better to run configuration tools like this when the app first starts because you are now running in a normal user environment.
I am new to web development and am unfamiliar with some of the methods for best testing the web end information. On my current project I am using Weblogic to deploy my JSP project through Eclipse.
The webpages build fine and everything works, but currently I am restarting my localhost server every time I make a change to the css or the jsp, which a single round trip can be up to 3-5 min. is there a more efficient way of testing the css other than restarting my server every time? What about jsp?
Edit: Followup:
For any that stumble past this: After reading up on different staging methods as #better_use_mkstemp suggested, I couldn't figure out how to explicitly set eclipse up to stage or nostage deploy, however I did find some nifty things.
You can do an Incremental push (expand drop down in the servers view in eclipse, right click project that is deployed on a running server > click "Incremental Publish". This only pushes what has changed since last push) which helps a bit.
The other thing I found was an automatic deploy when a file changes, but that had it pushing while I was still editing the file which was a bit annoying. Using this feature you can also have it auto deploy each time there is a new version, but I didn't play around with that since we're not changing the version number yet.
Check how you are deploying your application. If you deploy using nostage mode, the server(s) will keep looking in the original deployment directory and will automatically detect jsp changes for refreshes.
This is as opposed to stage mode, where the original war/ear deployment is actually copied to each individual server.

Sounds like if you keeps dropping your updated deployment files in the same directory with nostage you won't need a restart.
When editing parts of my project that get called in Application_Start(), i want to have the web app restart every time i press 'Debug', so that i can debug these parts.
But if i dont change the Global.asax.cs self, it doesnt restart and therefore doesnt fire the Application_Start().
Is there any setting or trick to let the app restart each time i start a new debug?
If you are using the development server, simply right-click>stop on the tray icon. When it starts back up you will have a fresh new app-domain that needs to execute global.asax.
Or, in any case, dev or IIS, simply add a space or otherwise modify the web.config file - that will recycle the app domain.
Update - on further consideration: Have you tried re building.
Another thought - you could add a 'pre-build event' that 'touches' the web.config using a command line. BUT - you will probably want to define a special build configuration with configuration manager that is clearly marked, otherwise you may forget that you are killing your app domain and chase your tail in circles. ;p

I have an asp.net update web app. Users go the the page, hit the update button and the program runs. We also want this program to run as a scheduled task everynight. Is this possible? How would you handle this?
thanks
You could create a shortcut on your program to a page on your web app (say update.aspx?command=update) and then have your server's scheduler set to run that shortcut at the time you wish.
I would only recommend that you use a page which has nothing on it and will only respond to a specific command, that way you lower the risk of your page being "tripped" when you don't want it to be.
A better way would be to break the application up into a domain layer dll, then your aspx page could use that dll, and you could also write a console app that used the same dll. You could setup a scheduled task to run the console app nightly.
