Configuring Sahi for Eclipse

Hi folks,
I have added a new blog post showing how Eclipse can be configured to give content-assist and syntax highlighting for Sahi projects. http://blog.sahi.co.in/2009/06/configuring-eclipse-for-sahi.html.
DO REMEMBER to copy apis.sah into the "scripts" folder as specified in the post.
Let me know if you find this useful.

Narayan

I tried the integration and it really rocks. This integration will definitely save hours of time while writing Sahi script.
Thanks a lot for the video
Cheers

When i open the site the vedio is not available.
Can you please help me so that i can use Eclipse with Sahi.
Thanks in advance.
Is it possible to record and replay scripts from eclipse?
Thanks in advance.
What Narayan has posted is a way to configure Eclipse to edit Sahi scripts with syntax highlighting and code auto-complete support. Thanks a ton to Narayan for his efforts.
Since Eclipse is a very powerful IDE, it is actually possible to do record and play back Sahi scripts from within Eclipse, by using the built-in browser of Eclipse
What I did is:
1. Configured Eclipse as described by Narayan for syntax highlighting support
2. Open the project in Eclipse
3. Select Window->Show View->Other... (This brings up the Show View window)
4. Select General->Internal Web Browser
5. Launch your url and bring up Sahi controller by using the hot keys
6. Record scripts using Sahi controller
7. Once you stop recording, do a refresh of the Project Explorer in Eclipse and you will see the new script there
8. Edit it using Eclipse editor, run it from Sahi controller
I tested with a sample site and it works very well
Btw, you can start the proxy from eclipse by:
1) Run -> External Tools -> External Tools Configurations
2) Click on Program, and then the "new" button on top.
3) Fill these details:
Name: Start Sahi
Location:
Working directory:
Apply and Close
4) Go to Run -> External Tools again and you should see "Start Sahi" there.
5) Click to Start Sahi from inside eclipse. The output will be visible in the console at the borrom and you can click the red button to stop Sahi.
I'm using also this integration it's very useful however hyperlinking in eclipse is not working for me,
should i configure something in eclipse or maybe made something wrong?
Any help appreciated.
I have gone through the video its really nice and to working with eclipse editor is always better then normal, i have configured the same accroding to the steps given in your video, but i am facing 2 issues here:
1) While all configurations done there are javascript errors displayed. like (Description Resource Path Location Type Syntax error on token "/", delete this token set_included.sah /Sahi_Scripts/demo line 19 JavaScript Problem), probably I am doing something wrong with Javascript.
2) while i am opening confirm.sah and type _click() there is no any pop up open contains all function given in video.
I have copied your given apis.sah to script folder also.
Please guide me its urgent for me!!
Thanks
Chetan!
//<browser>
and
//</browser>
instead of
<browser>
</browser>
So that some of those errors go away.
I must say that I have also faced weird problems with JSDT. The autocomplete is visible sometimes and not visible sometimes. If you have just created the project, close it, and open again. You may get the dropdowns.

Narayan
I have manually replace the
<browser></browser> to //<browser> //</browser>. and no errors now, but now i have some javascript warnings exists, its normal semicolon warnings which is almost in all files where semicolon is missing.
Do i need to enter semicolon manually ? or any way we can overcome this all warning.
I just wanted to make sure that i am driving in right path.
Thanks
Chetan!
I have configured Sahi with Eclipse its really nice and easy, thanks a lot!
I have little bit confusion here i am doing the following things:
1) My sahi is running in eclipse
2) my code (.sah) file is opened in eclipse.
3) As per comment of DP i have opened external browser alson in eclipse.
Is it any way to record and run script with eclipse???
I have read the DP comment but doesn't get properly.
Could you please help me!
Thanks
Chetan!
I can't seem to open the controller, although the console and everything should be set up correctly.
I followed everybody's directions, but can't get the controller up by ctrl+alt/dbl click
Who can help me?!
Thanx
Is this related to running Sahi via Eclipse or you are unable to get this working even for stand alone Sahi?
Regards,
Narayan
Is there any hot keys to invoke autocomplete/ dropdowns ?
Is there any documentation file avilable for the same apart from this video??
Some Configuration step written with some snap shots?
I installed Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers in Windows 7 Ultimate and followed the steps in your video. However, I couldn't find the menu item "JavaScript Support" from the popup menu triggered by right-clicking the project created for Sahi scripts. Do you know how to fix this?
