Working compilation errors in 4.0EA1 opens extra tabs

douglas.l.stewart Aug 29, 2013 1:07 PM

When you compile a function/procedure/package and have errors and click on the errors to go to the place in the code they're from, it's opening a new tab. The new tab is linked to the old tab, because if you close it, then all tabs are closed (found that out the hard way when I lost some code); however, the new tab doesn't know about the connection the old tab was using.

I've learned to work around this by avoiding clicking on the errors when the location of the problem is obvious or just closing the file and re-opening after several tabs get open. I couldn't find where this was reported recently though so I wanted to mention it.

I've noticed this both on my Mac and on Windows 7.

You are in the procedure editor or a worksheet? I'm not seeing this behavior in the procedure editor, when clicking on errors in the Compiler - Log panel below the editor.

Do File->Open and open a .SQL file that contains the procedure code and run it, then click on the error in the compiler. I'm not seeing it when in the procedure editor. I just checked and it does happen in a worksheet, too.

So it does NOT happen in a procedure editor but DOES happen in a worksheet?

However, you only see errors in the worksheet if you use 'SHOW ERRORS' and those error messages in the Script Output panel aren't clickable. So I'm not sure what you mean by 'click on the error in the compiler.'

I am having the same issue. When writing some pl/sql code in the worksheet, after compilation and clicking on one of the displayed errors within Compiler-Log panel, a new copy of the worksheet is opened as a new tab and the connection is lost (empty drop-down box in top-right corner). It is very annoying.
