@M.Doerner yep, that's why I've now activated my license... no way I was doing that manually 😄
@M.Doerner doesn't work for skipped arguments, which prompted this update in the first place
@SonGokussj4 it's a loop which makes it quite hard to see what "the end" is, but I'll run a profiler and see if there's any bottleneck I can do something about. Notice the top bar changing? It's adjusting its content based on the selection in the editor.
@SonGokussj4 go to settings and uncheck "enable auto-completion features" if it's checked
If we were doing it Apple's way, we'd be charging an extra $499 for the Unit Tests feature. And it wouldn't be open-source, only Ducky-Approved fixes would be possible (assuming you'd bought Ducky Care).
@Feeds Hey remember when that's what you did? Just show up at peoples houses unannounced? I wouldn't try to find a payphone just so I can call the landline and hope someone picks up. It's easier just to show up and knock on the door.
@this you around? I'm trying to add a "use legacy workload initial configuration" installer option and I think everything is there... except the actual procedure CopyLegacyWorloadConfig() implementation... however looking here it appears this approach is doomed and it should be under [external] (but then can it be conditional?) ...I think I'm confused
@MathieuGuindon AutoComplete is off. Didn't need the function for now. Too much quirks. :-)
@MathieuGuindon I've just started opened Excel and recorded a new gif. When I'm showing clicking and moving with arrows before parsing and after parsing.
I've waited at the end a bit so it won't reset too soon.
Small lag? When I was clicking on those windows, it took around 10 seconds to catch up. And when I halted right arrow, it froze for 5 seconds near the end. That's not exactly "a small lag" there.
Your response gave me an idea. Would it be possible/doable/clever/... to wait a little bit before it runs everything on background? Like... I chaotically click on those two windows for a 5 seconds, finally letting the cursor, waiting, for example, 0.5s (modify-able in settings) and **then** the parser would start?
I think that when I hold an arror to go through the line, the parser starts on every character. Well, it almost seems that way.
I don't kid you that I'm postponing to click on the first Parse as long as I can and often just unload RD or existing Excel and reopen it again to be faster.
It's 5 years of work from "what is a code?" through "I know bash! I know Python! Vba is not so bad" to "I know classes! Databases, MVC dotnet model, I read 100 articles on vba" so...
There are really stupid parts and there are more normal parts.
Stupid I mean Class with 1000 lines of code where the "fill the values" function has 400 lines...
avoiding implicit late binding, using more and smaller specialized modules with fewer responsibilities, avoiding bang operators, and many other little things can really help boost parser/resolver performance
But I'm working with many files at one a lot of times. In other editors (vscode) there are tabs so no problem to have maximized code panes. But VBE is horrible with this.
the plan was always to end up with exactly this by Rubberduck 3.0
@SonGokussj4 yeah I think both the lag in the other gif and the up/down keys are related; there's a hot execution path there to keep the commandbar updated
I need to profile that and optimize things a bit there, but it's a little bit like switching windows (but very much less intense lol)
the expectation is that you'd click somewhere and then scroll or something
@MathieuGuindon :-D Ah... I'm coding with my keyboard. Trying to minimize the mouse as much as I can ;-) I have even autohotkeys to move faster in certain ways. And I know, you were talking about Awalon like 2 years ago already :-) Seemed too good to be true :-)
If you want, I can send you this project so you have a "Is it possible to work with parsed rubberduck" challenge / benchmark. I would love to use RD but at this time it's really hard :-) I don't frantically click and move as on the videos of course. But there are (very often) times I just need to wait 10-15 seconds because it's frozen hard.
> Adds a new wizard page to the installer with a checkbox to optionally seed %appdata%\Rubberduck\rubberduck.config with a default configuration file that disables a number of features and inspections, documented in a readme.md file.
1) Late bindings you mean like CreateObject("....") and not As Scription.Dictionary. Right? 2) more and smaller modules. So if I have 10 000 lines of code in 1 module, it's better to have 10x 1000 lines of code in 10 modules? 3) Bang operators? (after using google) oh, I don't do that. Uff.. :-)
1) not only that, but also any member calls chained to a `Variant` or `Object`, they're only bound at run-time and Rubberduck can't resolve them. 2) that's correct! that way each parse run has fewer tokens to process (the smallest thing Rubberduck parses is a whole module). 3) bang operators (e.g. `rs!FieldName`) fail the faster parser mode, which then re-starts the parsing with a slower but much more accurate mode. and then, they're doubly late-bound calls and Rubberduck will still resolve them (and then offer a quick-fix to expand them to early-bound explicit member calls)
Besides for arrays, I'm trying to not to "As Variant" so the late bindings and bang operators are not the problem. Will try to optimize sizes of my modules. Will report the results. If it doesn't help, offer to send it to you still stands.
Oh and ad 2): What about comments? If I have 200 lines of commented code, does it do anything? Or it's not but it's increasing parsing time because the module is 200 lines bigger than it needs to be.
Yes I now. So around 5000 lines of comments. That's the point. I have a lot of 'Maybe I can use these 300 lines of codes in the future' places in my modules.
:D Mumble mumble 5-year project - when I started I didn't know what is git, python, c# and for 3 year even a "class". There is a lot of trash code and stuff that shouldn't be there.
Wow an online readable book. Thanks, will go through it. I'm using git a few years now. Started at a company I work in, there was no version control of anything...
After I created a command-line bash application that would do something like version control I found out, there are stuff like SVN and GIT... :-D I was inventing a wheel there....
Now we have local Gitea server running in docker and I force anyone who codes to use it and fill readme.md :-) They do everything on master. I'm the only one using branches. But I don't know anything about cherry-picking and more advanced stuff so will read the resource for sure. Thanks again for the recommend. :-)
@MathieuGuindon Mat, a thought. Is there a "table/stats" to show which modules take the longest to parse for example? Or some parsing profiler that would tell me what's my biggest weight?
I know but I usually think git as the "brand", which is iffy as a brand. Fossil? Mercurial? Perforce? Visual SourceSafe? Teams Foundation Server? As if they are not even trying.
@this I've eaten many. My favourite is mushroom, but Quiche Lorraine is OK too. Remember all Pascal coders are quiche-eaters. But not all quiche-eaters are Pascal coders.
Ugh. I don't associate myself with quiche. It's just kinda edible, is all.
