Exceptions editing doc blocks

[coreymw]

I've seen this error for awhile now and since the latest version did not appear to fix it, I thought I would post a note this time.

I get exceptions being thrown by PHPTools when editing PHP doc blocks at the top of a source file. In this particular case there was a word in the header that I wanted to replace with other word - in this case the word 'BOGUS', below. When I highlight and try and delete the word, an exception thrown by PHPTools, as caught in the VS ActivityLog.XML file.

This is what my doc header looks like:

Code: Select all

Here's what the exception looks like:

Code: Select all

 <entry>
 <record>647</record>
 <time>2017/01/19 04:00:38.115</time>
 <type>Error</type>
 <source>Editor or Editor Extension</source>
 <description>System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'DictionaryNode' to type 'Devsense.PHP.Syntax.PHPDocBlock'. at Devsense.PHP.Syntax.PropertyCollection.GetProperty[T]() at ....</description>
 </entry>


The full stack is binary coded, so it's hard to read the full stack since the <descriptions> node is 15000 characters long, but I hope this helps you diagnose it.

I'll save my ActivityLog.xml file in case you need it.

Regards,
Corey.

Hello Corey,

Thanks for the feedback. May I ask you to send us full activity log? Hopefully that will help us to fix this.

Thanks!
