Problems/bugs in Windows 10 (64bit) + Eclipse 2019-09 R (4.13.0)
Submitted by John C on Tue, 2019-12-10 06:36
I have been using the Angular Eclipse (by Angelo ZERR) plugin for a couple of years, but decided to give the Wild Web Developer plugin a try today, although with limited success.
The first hurdle was a dialog (actually dozens of them, which appear repeatedly after any mouse movement over a source file) saying "Node.js version could not be determined. Please make sure a supported version of node.js is installed, editors may be missing key features otherwise. Supported major versions are: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13".
I have version 10.17.0 installed in "C:\Program Files\nodejs", but WWD does not appear to be able to detect it correctly. After searching extensively for this error message (again, mostly unsuccessfully), I eventually landed on the Github page for the source file involved in the node version check (github.com/jabby/wildwebdeveloper/commit/20149e1a6913f309d47de25b8c5174375553d0a9#diff-bc8d0fb247d15f842c56c8acda87abad).
The code shows that the builtin "where" command is used to locate the path to the node executable (in my case C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe). The returned path is then executed with the "-v" option to obtain the version of Node. However I suspect that the command is not being correctly executed (due to the space in the path?) because the code is unable to determine the version of Node, even though the executable exists.
I then realised that the path could be forced by adding "-Dorg.eclipse.wildwebdeveloper.nodeJSLocation=C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe" to the eclipse.ini file. This did indeed allow me to open Eclipse without being bombarded with dialog messages (note to devs, I think a single error message, or at most one error per filetype, and per session should be sufficient, and not a dozen (or more) every time the mouse moves a pixel over a source file!)
Although setting the path directly in the ini file solves the immediate problem, if Eclipse is restarted (File -> Restart) the ini file is not read and the global property is no longer set - resulting in the reappearance of the dozens of popup error messages.
But perhaps that's a problem that should be reported to the Eclipse team.
After finally getting the plugin installed and reopening my TS and HTML files with the Generic Text Editor, I was immediately presented with a bunch of red error markers. Some of the (Angular) errors are useful (unused imports etc.) but some, for example "let- is only supported in ng-template elements" and "Component '...' is not included in a module and will not be available inside a template..." are irritating, to say the least, because they appear to refer to restrictions implemented in later versions of Angular than the one I am using (2.0), and there does not appear to be any way to disable or configure them.
And finally, the plugin org.eclipse.lsp4e (installed with WWD) appears to have some issues, given the number of problems that are being logged in the Error log pane. For example:
and
and finally
In summary, as much as I would like to use this new and improved (?!) plugin, it doesn't yet appear to be ready for general use (or maybe I'm just unlucky?!). So I guess I'll be going back to the original Angular Eclipse plugin - it's not perfect, but is at least more stable than the current version of WWD.

JSON Formatting doesn't work
Submitted by Igor Khlaponin on Tue, 2019-04-09 03:19
This plugin is pretty cool. But the major issue, as for me, is JSON formatting. I cannot format JSON neither through Ctrl+Shift+F nor through RMB->Format (this menu item even inactive). On the other hand, code completion works as expected.
OS: Centos 7, Java 8, Eclipse 2018-12
P.S. Kubernetes schema support is awesome!

Done. Eclipse marketplace doesn't allow external links, so I sent it you in Twitter
