B4J Question IDE Message: Index was out of range

[Didier9]

I am getting this when I click on a variable name (actually an array) and ask for Find All References:

[IDE message - 9:10:51]
An error occurred.
Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index

This occurs even if I close and reopen the project after having cleaned the meta file, before executing.
I just open the project, navigate to the section of code, right-click on the variable and click on Find All References.
This started after I had a legitimate error in my code where I would try to read an array element past the last value.

As an experiment, I copied just the b4j and bas files, and the Files folder into a new folder and tried to run the IDE from there and I get the same issue.
How could it complain about an out of range index even before executing code? This sounds too much like magic

More info: I did have variables named Index, so I renamed them all. The error message remains the same, so "index" does not refer to one of my variables.

Note: the program does run and I can lookup other variables, I just can't use the Find All References feature on THAT variable.

I had weird problems probably related to this same thing trying to rename a variable automatically. In my case it was enough to "clean up the project" (CTRL + P).

More info: I did have variables named Index, so I renamed them all. The error message remains the same, so "index" does not refer to one of my variables.

In fact I believe it refers to an internal IDE variable.

right-click on the variable and click on Find All References.

Press F7 "on the variable"

I agree, definitely sounds like an internal IDE issue. I revised the thread title.

CTRL + P did not fix it and F7 "on the variable" returned the same thing

But thanks for the pointers to those shortcuts, I was not using them

At least everything else seems to be running, so it's just an inconvenience at this point. Weird tho.

and F7 "on the variable" returned the same thing

That was just a tip to avoid having to use the mouse (as I type, I prefer to press F7).

I guess some bas file is corrupt.

I've fixed such bug a few days ago. It happens with a global variable that was redimmed.
It will be included in the next versions of the IDE.

Thank you Erel!
