On Jan 31, 2006, at 11:00 AM, James Closs noted: In XCode 2.2 The 'Cannot resolve symbol' error message doesn't give the name of the symbol it can't resolve. This is *incredibly* annoying and was not an issue in 2.1.
Don't suppose there's a way to fix this or an update in the pipeline?
There's always an update in the pipeline, but bugs only get fixed in it if somebody files a bug report with detailed information about the setup, a copy and paste of the error message in context. and steps to reproduce it. Starting with...what "Cannot resolve symbol" error message? During editing, compiling, linking, launching, debugging, etc.?
Hi Chris,
I get the error when compiling.
It's very easy to reproduce. Just set up a new java project, I used the 'java tool' template. Adjust the code so there's an undefined symbol and compile (see below)
Hi James,
I hope I'm not stating the obvious here, but have you tried double-clicking on the "Cannot resolve symbol" error itself (in the Build Results window if you're using the multiple window setup)? I find doing this takes me right to the line where it's reporting the error.
XCode 2.1 would give you a description of the problem as well (or a better description than "Cannot resolve symbol" at least) and I also noticed this missing in 2.2. That may be all that you are talking about, in which case I agree it's a bug. I just wasn't sure if you knew there was a way to get straight to the problem line ...
