After upgrading to NetBeans v6.8 Patch 1, one of my most beloved features seems to be working intermittently at best. I use NetBeans for PHP/symfony development. When I first start up NetBeans, I can right-click on a method, for instance, FooFactory::createBar(); select Navigate > Go to Declaration, and be taken directly to the method declaration for the createBar() method. After a few minutes, it ceases to work. Even restarting NetBeans fails to make any difference. Another version of NetBeans I have on another machine works fine with these same files. It is the unpatched version of 6.8. These feature worked fine until I installed Patch 1. If you need further information about this bug, please don't hesitate to ask.
Version of index was changed for patch 1, so please close your IDE, delete manually <userdir>/var/cache/index and start NetBeans, it should work again If not, then please reopen again
please comment if it helps or not, thanks
I was able to workaround this issue by deleting the NetBeans index directory and restarting the application. On Windows, this index directory is found here: C:\Users\<username>\.netbeans\6.8\var\cache Everything works fine now.
filipe, please could you try to reproduce because seems to be common problem (in patach 1 was increased version of index) and if reproducible somehow then please reassign to vstejskal other related claims can be found here: http://forums.netbeans.org/post-63222.html
reassign and reopen naturally because forcing users to delete var/cache isn't solution
sure, I'm on it right now
Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.8 (Build 200912041610) Java: 1.6.0_16; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 14.2-b01 i can finally (after two update crashes) confirm that we have some kind of problem here. 1. install nb6.8 2. open php project 3. update to patch1 4. restart ide after update I am getting 'please wait' almost everywhere (navigator, code completion, go to declaration) and 100% processor in use. it took me about 5minutes to close IDE. Scanning was not in progress (at least no progress bar appeared) 5. delete var/cache/index -> it works there are more issues mentioned here so I will investigate again and separate them. so far this one is for go to declaration.
is it reproducible?
well, yesterday I didn't reproduce because update failed. so i tried again today and finally got there. Anyway, so far I reproduced with full ide only. I'm still on it and will try again with php only and then again with full ide.
i didn't reproduce with 68patch1 updated from 68 php only distribution.
hmm ... so i tried again with full ide (uninstall/install/update) and i didn't reproduce. looks like it's random => P3

if its random its even worse
So, what exactly are the steps how this can be reproduced?
The problem is caused by the cancel which comes during the initial scan => no scan is done but the indexer version is upgraded. In the successive scans the indexer version is already up to date and no scan is triggered. 1) (Hot)fix is eliminate this problem caused by the scan. 2) The correct solution solving even problems of non opened projects is to split the known-*-indexers to be per root (not global). But it's nontrivial task. :-(
Vita is interested in this :-)
