Showing User's classes in the Class Viewer and the Class Browser

Posted June 30th, 2009 by slafontaine

Hi,

First, I'm a new user of VS.PHP and I've just begun the process of evaluating it.

Is it normal that the Class Viewer and the Class Browser to show none of the user's classes at all when a solution/project is opened and that, for viewing any user's class, we must open the containing/definition php file for each user's class that we want to see its definition in the Class Viewer or in the Class Browser?

The Intellisense seems to know about these classes but having to open tens of files each time a project in order to see them in either the Class Viewer or the Class Browser doesn't make any sense to me.

Also, I tried to them to the References list but I do not see the option Add User Reference as it is explained in one of the tutorial and beside, the list of files that I've added there didn't work at all: no user's classes are shown at all in the Class Viewer/Class Browser the next time that I reopened the project; even if their definition php files as been added to the References list.

I'm a little confuse to see such a limitation of the Class Viewer and the Class Browser; especially knowing that the Intellisense is capable is seeing these classes without first opening their PHP files.

Thanks!

    Found a possible solution

    Hi again,

    It looks like it's a bug: if I erase the file ProjectName.intellisense.cache before opening the project, everything is OK. This step must be repeated each time a project is opened; so it's like the program to save properly the information into the cache file when closing a project.

    This is for a Joomla project and the size of the saved cache file is only around 770KB; clearly insufficient for a Joomla site.

    Same result with 2.7 Beta
