Navigation - The "Click Identifier" fails in some scenarios

Hi Jerome,

The behavior you described looks like a bug. But, I cannot reproduce it in our local tests. To help us better understand what is going on, please enable the logging feature and provide us with the corresponding message log. Please do the following:

1) From the DevExpress menu, select "Options...".
2) In the tree view on the left, navigate to this folder:

    Diagnostics

3) Select the "Message Log" options page.
This page level is Expert and will only be visible if the Level combo on the lower-left of the Options dialog is set to Expert.

4) Activate the "Enable logging messages" and "Log messages to disk" options.
5) Open a solution and work until the issue is reproduced.
6) Close the IDE and send us all log files generated in the following folder:

%AppData%\CodeRush for VS .NET\1.1\Log\

I hope this information will shed some light on this issue.

Thanks,
Vito

Hi Vito,

Please find my logs attached.

Best regards.

Hi Jerome,

These logs do not contain any suspicious items that may cause this problem. This makes us think that other things are involved. As I recall, we were told about similar issues in the past, but we have not managed to stably replicate them on our machines. We need additional details from you. Please check whether the problem is peculiar to a particular project/solution or you can reproduce it with a brand new project (e.g. a new ClassLibrary/WebSite). In the former case, it would be great if you could provide us with a copy of the problematic project, so that we can try to reproduce the problem locally. In addition, please record a screencast to illustrate your steps in action. You can capture it using a free Jing tool from TechSmith.

In the meantime, we will review our code to detect possible culprits. I hope we together will solve this problem.

Regards,
Serge

Dear Serge,

Please look at this screencast reproducing the bad behaviour.

http://screencast.com/t/D34t681t

Here are the main steps:
- Start VS
- New Winform project.
- Add some code.
- Verify Click Identifier is working => ok
- (Now the step that seems to trigger the pb) Switch to another application and switch back to VS.

=> Click Identifier doesn't work anymore.

I also attached my logs.

Hi Jerome,

Thank you for the detailed explanation. We appreciate the efforts you have invested in researching this issue. I do not know if this is good news or not, but CodeRush works correctly on our machines if we follow your steps. However, we have managed to replicate the problem on one of our machines by following a similar, but a slightly different, scenario. Our developers have detected the culprit and made the necessary corrections. We are preparing a patched build so that you can test it on your side. I will be in contact with you. Please bear with us.

Regards,
Serge

Jerome,

Here is the link to download the patched build. Please check whether the new binaries solve the problem at your end. We look forward to hearing from you.

So far, everything looks good.

Thanks for help.

Hi Jerome,

I have converted this ticket to a Bug Report and will mark it as Fixed.
If you need any further help with this subject, please feel free to reactivate this ticket.

Dear Serge,

Sorry for getting happy too soon.

The test case I sent you a screencast for seems to be fixed, which is already good news; but still, sooner or later, the feature will cease to function.
I have no reproductible case yet.

Regards.
