Hi

It is a little difficult for me to understand why PHPed sometimes does code completion and sometimes not.

I am writing a component for the Joomla CMS, and sometimes when I write

$mainframe-> I get the windows displaying the class methods, and other sometimes I just get this error message.

Code completion is not available due to the following error(s):
Failed to find class of "$mainframe" member, (declared as JSite)

What does this mean ?

That means that the class JSite is not known to PhpED's code insight. You need to describe it - there is a similar post on this subject:
mysqli-in-oo-autocomplete-t2605.html?highlight=spl

Ok I found a file where $mainframe = new JSite() but that was not in scope where I use the $mainframe variable.

So I deleted that file, and searched for any other file where JSite was used, and there is none.

I have restarted PHPEd, to make it reload my workspace, but it still gives me the same error message when I try to lookup $mainframe->

And there is absolutely no code left where $mainframe is declared as an instance of JSite.

Is there a function that can re-index the code completion on the worspace ?

And here is the proof that there is no reference left to JSite.

But PHPed continues to give me the same error message when I want to lookup the methods for $mainframe->

Forgot to put in the search criterias.

what is $mainframe instance of now?

it is an instance of a class named mosMainFrame

See the image.

My point is that the class JSite is not used anywhere in the code but the code completion still think it is.

Restart the IDE won't help. You need to refresh Code Explorer.


Still the same it's Refresh in Code Explorer window.

Sorry but I have done this many times, by right clicking on the workspace in the explorer view and select refresh, and it still claims that $mainframe is defined as an instance of JSite.

It is like there is something written in cache, that is not cleard by refreshing.

Please check that Code Explorer is not in "Single file" mode. In this case it re-parses only current file. Otherwise it refreshes all the project and all the libraries in the 'Code Insight Includes' list of directories.

That was the answer. When I changed it to Project view and refreshed the workspace, the lookup worked again.

But this is the tricky part.
I really love the singel file mode, because I get a good overview of the current file I am editing. But how to I then make sure that the code completion will refresh automaticly?

It does refresh automatically in most cases.
It didn't refresh in your cases b'ze you deleted file and probably you didn't do it PhpED's workspace window, otherwise it would refresh too.
