SlickEdit 2023 v28 Beta Discussion / Slick-C Error inPython when typing "printf("

« Last post by JeppeOland on September 14, 2023, 01:25:28 am »

Obviously because I'm not a Python guy except in a pinch, so "printf" is muscle memory.
Anyways ... type it in SlickEdit, and it helpfully replaces it with just "print", but also pops up an error:
"Variable element or variable not initialized. file=codehelp.ex offset=27306"
Sometimes the first part is just a ?.

SlickEdit 2023 v28 Beta Discussion / Re: Can't change "Initialize search string" option

« Last post by Clark on September 13, 2023, 11:37:30 pm »

Run the installer which works best for you. We didn't immediately switch to the Qt 5 installer because we couldn't get enough testing on it (although we wanted to). The Qt 4 version we know has been running fine on a ton of users computers. On Linux, it's not realistically possible for us to test every incarnation of Linux with all the different window managers. We've been building the Qt 5 installer for at least 3 years now. The Qt 5 version supports Fira Code fonts and the Qt 4 version does not. Other that, it's really about compatibility. You might have noticed an odd warning message when you type a character in the Qt 5 version. This will be fixed in beta 3.

Right now, the website just has the Qt 4 installer. We always have a URL for downloading the Qt 5 installer. Ask if you don't know what it is. We are expecting to make both installers available through the website in the near future.

So what does this mean long term?  Do I need to use a different version forever more?  Is Qt 5 going to be in the "main" releases?

Using a symbolic link (i.e. 'ln -s /opt/slickedit-pro2023beta2/bin/vs vs") will have no effect on this. "bin/vs" is a script which resolves symbolic links. Take a look at the script source and you'll see the loop which resolves symbolic links.

Yes, switching to the v28.0.0 beta 2 Qt5 allows me to edit those fields.

When you say <commit> you're giving the SHA hash for the commit?  The full one, or an abbreviation?  I have tried this, and I still don't get a crash.

Generally the short version, or a short version.

I'm using the Qt4 version of Beta 2. Is there anything about your system that you could tell us that might help?

It's more or less vanilla Ubuntu..

One thing that may or may not be relevant - I wanted to create a single directory link to switch between versions of Slickedit when I install a new one, but sometimes I run into difficulties..

Code: [Select]

stromme@WORK:~$ ls -la ~/bin
total 44
drwxrwxr-x  2 stromme stromme 4096 Sep  7 10:43 .
drwxr-x--- 37 stromme stromme 4096 Sep 12 12:00 ..

lrwxrwxrwx  1 stromme stromme   25 Aug 10 16:56 vsmerge -> slickedit-dir/bin/vsmerge
I tried this, but ran into some issues where vs didn't want to start.

Then I tried replacing the link from vs to slickedit-dir to this script:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
$(dirname "$0")/slickedit-dir/bin/vsbut that didn't really work right either, so I gave up and just did this:

Code: [Select]

vs -> /opt/slickedit-pro2023beta2/bin/vs
Could these links be causing weird behavior?

The main behavior I want is to type "vs somefile" from any shell anywhere and have it open in my Slickedit instance.

Sorry it took a while to reply.

When I run

Code: [Select]

git difftool --dir-diff <commit> a window titled "Multi-File Diff Finding Files" with the temp directories briefly opens with no content (just a gray background) then closes after a second, and the shell says

Code: [Select]

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Previous working behavior is to open the multifile diff window that shows the tree.

When you say <commit> you're giving the SHA hash for the commit?  The full one, or an abbreviation?  I have tried this, and I still don't get a crash.

I'm using the Qt4 version of Beta 2. Is there anything about your system that you could tell us that might help?

Could you send that sample file (save me the time of retyping it)?
