well the installer works... but RD crashes with a NRE at DeclarationSymbolsListener.cs line 236... with an empty workbook.. wtf
the ducky icon is gone :(
hmm line 236 is ..a blank line.
looks like I didn't package the build I thought I was.
oh wow

Like, it wanted me to return a value from a while loop when I was modifying it because I was doing value = value * 10 + (int)token;, or something.
Later in the method, I was returning value, but I couldn't just return from the loop before the loop was done...

it's letting you know of a possibility - it's a suggestion, nothing forces you to implement it

@Mat'sMug What's that? RD?

Hosch250
Hosch250
Umm, I'll let you work this out for now.
 
Mat's Mug
Mat's Mug
probably that access violation exception that came back
ugh. I hate no-repro bugs!
 
Hosch250
Hosch250
So, is there a stack trace or something you can analyze?
I once had a bug where there was no stack trace.
There was a problem in a method called by a constructor (all the code is mine) that throw an exception, but somehow or another, everything got swallowed so I didn't have a stack trace.
It just crashed without anything, and I had to walk through my code line by line for most of the app to find the problem.

Mat's Mug
Mat's Mug
dammit, that doesn't fix it
a .xlam add-in is causing it
well, not the add-in itself, but Rubberduck blows up when that add-in is there.
oh great, now my debug build is broken
ugh
idiot. Debug64, not Debug.
oh wow, it's a StackOverflowException
awesome.
that's the resolver code, I've seen this before.
@RubberDuck hey there
> Houston, we have a problem.
There's a StackOverflowException somewhere in the resolution code. I did something very, very wrong.
The good news is that it's not the async parsing causing it.

it's blowing up in a VsAssignContext (named argument) because item is ambiguous.

When are you planning on using the new installer? I wasn't sure what icon(s) you wanted to use. Also have you guys considered digitally signing the installer? I see the 1.22 version is not signed. @Mat'sMug @RubberDuck

you know when you run an installer and it says who the publisher is? That's what I mean.
If its unsigned the publisher is 'unknown'

You can sign the installer if you have a PKI key.

no, this is actually signing the installer package.
You would strong sign the assemblies separately then package them into an installer and sign the installer.

Oh. Okay. I'll look into it.
 
Rossco

I made a simple gui app to sign my assemblies a while back. I'll try get it on github and give you a link.
You just need a public/private key pair on your system.
Not sure if the ones that you create for signing personal macros work or not.

problem is that the certificates are supposed to be based on trust (you trust the issuer to verify that the holder of the certificate is who they say they are).

hi!
> It compiles, VBA resolves it. And it’s fiendish, and nobody in their right minds would do anything near as ambiguous as that. But it’s legal, and it blows up.

That’s why I tagged it as a “pre-release”: because there are a number of hair-pulling edge cases that just didn’t want to cooperate.

posted on May 03, 2015 by rubberduckvba

The wait is over! I have to say that this release has been… exhausting. Correctly resolving identifier references has proven to be much, much more complicated than I had originally anticipated. VBA has multiple ways of making this hard: with blocks are but one example; user-defined-type fields are but another. But it’s done. And as far as I […]

> We need to remove the dependency on the VBE in all code inspection results, if we want to be able to write tests for them.

At the end of the day the inspection results only require the VBE to change the code in a code module, so we should be able to wrap it up with an interface, and implement a mock for it that wouldn't require us to mock up the whole VBE object model.

> @jackdunnnz thanks! I guess the good news is that the InnoSetup installer does work on both 32 and 64 bit office.. this is somehow related to the parsing, probably in the code explorer presenter... which is not supposed to be parsing at startup. It needs to be narrowed down further, but the fact that it was present in 1.22 tells me it's not related to identifier resolution.. which is a good sign.
