 Posted: Tue Apr 07, 2009 5:22 pm Post subject: Go to file is really slow - needs to be faster for php projects |
 |
|
I have a fairly large php project (4000+ files) and whenever I want to navigate directly to a file using the navigate->go to file (alt-shift-o) the search can take well over 30 seconds for netbeans to find the file. Which is unlike "go to type" which brings up the results nearly instantaneously.
This seems like a huge problem for any php project. PHP projects have many different types of files (php, css, js, html, smarty tpl files, etc) that have no "type" that can be put into the "go to type" dialog. Unlike Java, PHP does not have a 1 to 1 mapping between objects and files. Consequently filenames are the only way to get to a resource. So you must be able to jump to that resource very quickly using a filename. Which means the filenames must be indexed so the search can be very fast--it would also be nice if "search" ctrl-i would look at the filenames too.
For me (and many others I'm sure) this is a huge obstacle preventing me from switching to netbeans as my primary php editor. I need to be able to jump to a file immediately like I can if I use PDT for Eclipse (netbeans should check out how cool the "open resource" dialog is in eclipse). I can't wait 30-60 seconds to open a file--it is just too counter productive.
Is there any way to fix this problem using a project setting? Or will this require a code change to netbeans to fix this?
Thanks,
~Jeff |

if you try the latest development build [1], Go To File should be as fast as
Go To Type.

I checked out the development build and it so fast! I love it.
However it seems it is ignore some file types and I am unsure why. In my project I have ".tpl" files that I use for smarty templates. None of those of the files ending in ".tpl" are showing up. The same thing is happening for other files as well like ".htaccess", *.qcat files (our own file type), gif, jpeg, png, etc. I can navigate to them and edit/view them in netbeans just fine but they aren't showing up in the "go to file" dialog.
I tried associating ".tpl" with the html editor but that didn't change anything in the "go to file" dialog. Any suggestions on how to get these other file type to show up?
Thanks again for the quick reply and the improvement. |

Using the latest development build, Go to File doesn't seem to search all my files anymore.
I have many files named addEdit*****.php
However if I type addEdit, only 4 are coming up at the moment. If I browse to the file and open it, then try the search again, the file I browsed for will show up. But I'm still missing a fair few. |

yes, it's not perfect right now, this feature is in early development stage -
we are working on it and hopefully it will work as expected soon.

This is pretty much word for word what I was coming here to say. I'm a PHP dev who was using PDT and decided to try out NetBeans but I think I will be going back simply because I search for stuff a lot and it takes too long in netbeans where as in Eclipse it is very fast. I know about the latest build, but if it's going to miss files, then that really doesn't help me. This isn't just restricted to jump to file, but also search within file. With PDT it takes about 15-30 seconds to search through everything (and I have thousands of files) and results start popping up in the first few seconds, but in NetBeans I have to move onto another task and check back with it later.
I like the commitment that NetBeans has made to supporting PHP, but I've gotta be able to work fast and right now I can only do that in PDT.  |

Which version of NetBeans are you using? If you are on 6.5, you may
want to try the latest release candidate of NetBeans 6.7, where Go to
File is much faster. See also the following bug which was resolved in
6.7:

I'm using the latest developer build of netbeans and it is now working great for me. The search seems to be quick and I'm not missing any files. So I'm a happy customer.
As a side note I have now completely abandoned PDT for netbeans. There are still things I miss about PDT but there is a whole lot I don't miss at all. PDT has the most frustrating problems with its indexing, resource out of sync, slow file editing on large js & css files... |

cool, nice to hear!
(BTW if you want the most stable build, you should use NB 6.7 (currently RC)
[1]).

Wow, that's incredible, so much faster! I'll try it out for another week and if it holds up I'll switch over the team and other coders that I know. BTW. on PDT there is one plugin that is very popular and lately has been integrated with the main build as it makes so much sense. It's called Mylyn and what it does is allows you to have files automatically associated with the task you are currently working on so that all others are hidden. Then when you need to switch to another task, you select that task from the list and all it's associated file are immediately given focus, which makes task switching tasks and then moving between files in that task so much easier.
It doesn't have a NetBeans version but you guys do have an alternative called Cubeon. It was very difficult for me to find this though. It's my belief that the NetBeans team should be promoting/supporting it more heavily and probably even integrating it into the official build. Just though I'd let you know. |

We have (maybe) something similar in NB 6.7 - personally, I don't know much
about it, try to have a look at "Connected Developer" here:

I forwarded your email to my colleagues working on connected developer, thanks
for the URL.
