Why Auto-completion Is Not Working?
Logics marked must be marked as a 'Source' folder
Did you mark the folder with the logics as a Source folder in Module Settings?
Pricefx Framework must be added to the project
Have you added the Pricefx Framework support? You should Update Project Libraries once a major Studio or PFX version is released.
Re-activate GDSL script execution once it crashes
GDSL is IntelliJ's native DSL Groovy-based language for defining additional auto-completion rules. We don't know why, but sometimes the GDSL execution crashes (typically when switching branches) and then IDEA stops the auto-completion for all projects. Once this happens, navigate to the External Libraries > Pricefx API > logic-debug-xxxx-xx-xx.jar > PFXIdeaPublicGroovyAPI.gdsl in the project tree. If the auto-completion has crashed, then a yellow popup with the button 'Activate back' appears. Note that it may take couple of seconds to appear. Once you press 'Activate back', the auto-completition is enabled again.
After pressing "Activate Back", you can also purge the IntelliJ cache: File > Invalidate Caches / Restart > Invalidate and Restart. This should force IntelliJ to rebuild caches for the API documentation.
Groovy Library elements folder needs to be marked as 'Source' for 'libs' to work
The auto-completion of methods in "libs
" works only if the "elements" folder is marked as "Source" in IDEA. All logic elements are created in the default package and therefore the parent folder "elements
" must be a root source folder. Best to do this in using right click on the root folder > Open Module Settings > Modules > Sources.
The date suffix needs to be removed from Groovy Library name for 'libs' to work
The auto-completion of methods in "libs
" (resp. legacy lib
) does not work when the Groovy library is in a folder that is not a valid Java package name (= by default it has the date suffix "+YYYY-MM-DD
"). In that case, simply rename and remove the suffix part if you do not have a logic with different validFrom. This is safe to do, package tool does not use this information; it reads the 'validAfter' information from the logic.json.
Element names not unique
For cases when auto-completion does not work for referring elements either within the same logic or in libs
(resp. legacy lib
): if you use two elements of the same name in the project, IDEA does not know which Class should be evaluated. Avoid having elements of the same name, so e.g. add a suffix "Utils" to the names of the Groovy library elements.
Cannot Fetch Due to "Error: Empty Key"
If you see "Error: Empty Key" in the fetch panel, then your config.groovy was created in a wrong way in the past. Just replace the part representing the Two-Factor Management key in config.json – replace '' (empty String) with null. It is the last field of the array of connection details.
