Good stuff :)

I have a mindmap with development plans for Eclipse Dev with eZ. I'll dig it out and try to post the details here.

It was bad the last time i tried.

Zend are part of eclipse now:

http://www.eclipse.org/pdt

so there should be better support for debugging soon if it doesnt already work.

Today i got the debugger working :-)

Linux (fedora core 6 with sun java 6):
- eclipse pdt all in one package linux
- xdebug extension or zend_debugger works (xdebug works faster on linux for me)

Windows 2k and XP:
- eclipse pdt all in one package windows
- only xdebug works for me

some links:

1. official developmentpage from eclipse:
http://www.eclipse.org/pdt

2. zend website where you can download the all in one package and the zend webserver debugger
http://www.zend.com/pdt
http://downloads.zend.com/pdt/all-in-one

3. Xdebug eclipse plugin

Hi

I'm working on syntax validation with Nicolas. Currently, we rely on eZTemplate::validateTemplateFile() to check template syntax. It works fine for basic errors like parenthesis or bracket match, but it doesn't check control structures consistency.

For instance, a template without a complete "if" statement like this doesn't reveal any error or warning :

{if true()}

Though, these kind of errors appear in debug. Does anybody know where I can find methods to perform advanced syntax validation ?

Thanks.

hi sylvain,

have you tried looking in this file:

lib/eztemplate/classes/eztemplatemultipassparser.php

doesnt seem to a single function solution though :(

Hi,

The script ./bin/php/eztc.php compiles templates and gives you warnings if you have template errors. This might be useful to check template syntax.

Hello Kristian,

"./bin/php/eztemplatecheck.php" does actually rely on eZTemplate::validateTemplateFile() to perform syntax validation. The problem is that this function doesn't peform very advanced verfications.

"eztemplatemultipassparser.php" seems to use the same function to.

Hmm, looking further validateTemplate... does indeed invoke parse.

Then perhaps its a settings issue as the multipassparser does seem to perform deeper checks.

Ok, got it. The validator does work but it stores the errors in the templates error log.

So, $tpl->errorLog() shows you the details.

Kristian,

Would it be an idea to add the output of the error log when validation isnt successful as part of the templatecheck script?

Edit: Added as a suggestion: http://issues.ez.no/10485

Paul,

that's actually what I do in my script. The ouput contains the content of $tpl->errorLog and the content of $tpl->warningLog.

$tpl->validateTemplateFile( $templateUrl );
//[...]
foreach($tpl->errorLog() as $error) {
//[...]
}
foreach($tpl->warningLog() as $error) {
//[...]
}

I didn't say that the validator doesn't work. I only wish it could dig a little deeper in template structure. So I'm looking for some way to perform more accuarate syntax validation than eZTemplate::validateTemplateFile() .

The other problem is that the errorLog often fails to found the correct error line.

I thought this issue was because eZ reports advanced template errors that you dont access to?

It sounds like this isnt the case and you simply need better error reporting?

Is this right?

Paul

Sylvain Bannier

Exactly,

I just need better error reporting concerning :
- control structures consistency
- error line

Yip. I guess the next step is to file a 'enhancement' on the issues list and perhaps kindly ask Kristian to take a look :)

Though, surely the fact that lines numbers are wrong is a simple bug to fix...

Im not sure how easy it will be to add to the eZ code base.

As a side-note: I wonder how good eZ components is at this? Better / worse? Since the eZC template engine will be used in eZ 4 later this year any enhancements may be more likely to reach this version than the 3.X release...

Hello,

I use your template editor (in smile plugin). I have a very good syntaxe hightlight but i have not auto-completion.

Where activate this auto-completion ? I haven't desactivate it in the editor settings.

My blog : http://www.llaumgui.com (not in eZ Publish ;-))
eZC on RHEL : http://blog.famillecollet.com/pages/Config-en
eZC on Fedora : just "yum install php-channel-ezc"
