I'm facing unique error/alert-popup while editing JavaScript files in Eclipse and it pops up this error every time I place the cursor on that line.
JS: NullPointerException when cursor is placed at the end of the line containing return statement.
foo.bar = function(x) {
if (xyz) {
return fn(x);«error»
}
return fn(x);«error»
return (fn(x));«error»
return new fn(x);«ok»
return x;«sometimes»
return "";«error»
return x+"x";«error»
return this.x;«error»
return fn(
x);«error»
return new fn(
x);«ok»
return;«error»
};
- «» — cursor position
- «ok» — no error
- «error» — triggers error
- «sometimes» — I have code that never triggers an exception in that case, but I don’t see a pattern.
If cursor is at the end of the line of a return, this exception happens:
An internal error occurred during: "Requesting JavaScript AST from selection".
java.lang.NullPointerException
The Eclipse error is:
'Requesting JavaScript AST from Selection' has encountered a problem.
An internal error occured during "Requesting JavaScript AST from selection".
java.lang.NullPointerException
Is there a solution or workaround available to fix the problem?
