ActionScript & MXML for Visual Studio Code Changelog

1.20.0

New Features

Royale: When developing a project that supports both JS and SWF targets, a new status bar item allows easy switching between COMPILE::JS and COMPILE:SWF conditional compilation values by allowing a preferred value from the targets compiler option to be selected.
Completion: Improved sorting for MXML tag completion to give higher priority to existing declared namespaces and to member variables or properties, similar to how AS3 imports and members get higher priority already.

Fixed Issues

Build: Fixed resolution of mainClass when asconfig.json is not in the workspace root.
Completion: Fixed issue where imports might be incorrectly added inside a comment at the top of a file if the comment contains what appears to be the start of a package block or another import statement.
General: Fixed project initialization if the mainClass or a directory from the source-path compiler option doesn't exist yet.
General: ActionScript SDK status bar item remains visible if any visible editor contains a file of type .as, .mxml or asconfig.json file. Previously, it was based on the currently active editor only, which could cause the status bar item to be hidden if the terminal or another view received active focus.
Project: When creating a new project on Windows, fixed invalid JSON contents of settings.json for SDK path containing backslashes.
General: Fixed FileSystemNotFoundException when opening a file URI with an unrecognized protocol, such as vsls:.

1.19.0

New Features

Commands: Added new ActionScript: Create New Project command to create a project with some simple built-in templates for all supported SDK types, including Apache Flex, Apache Royale, Feathers SDK, and pure ActionScript 3.0 projects.
Explorer: When no workspace folders are open, a button is displayed in the Explorer to create a new ActionScript project.

Fixed Issues

Completion: Improved completion for definition names to avoid unnecessary duplicates.
Completion: Fixed occasional null exception when prioritizing member variables and methods.
Completion: No longer suggests variable members of interfaces (which are technically parsed, but not allowed to compile).

1.18.0

New Features

Build: Added new ActionScript: watch build task for Apache Royale projects when the Royale compiler's new --watch option is available.
Build: Added missing context-root, contributor, creator, date, description, language, publisher, services, and title to compilerOptions field in asconfig.json files.
Completion: Improved sorting for a number of operations, including after super. and new, and for symbols that are referenced with import. Completion also gives highest priority to local variables, then member fields/methods, and then everything else.
Debug: Faster AIR debug launcher builds with native extensions. If original .ane file is unmodified since previous build, does not overwrite the unpackaged version. Run the clean task to force .ane to be unpacked again.
Format: Added support for asformat-config.xml file at root of project to configure formatting options.
General: Fixed incorrect duplicate function definition errors when using JDK 16+.
General: New ActionScript 3.0 language features from HARMAN AIR 50.0 and Apache Royale 0.9.10 are now supported.
Lint: Added new as3mxml.lint.enabled setting to optionally enable Apache Royale's new AS3 linter to check for issues. May be slow for larger projects. Supports automatic detection of aslint-config.xml file at root of project.
Settings: All formatting options accept null, in addition to true/false, to allow compiler defaults to change in the future.

Fixed Issues

Code Actions: Fix possible null exception when node is not found for missing method.
Completion: Fix possible null exception for getters and setters.
General: Fix unsupported operation exception for $/setTrace language server protocol message sent by VSCode.

References: Fixed overrides of methods not being considered the same reference as the original method.
Workspace Symbol: Fixed performance regression caused by inclusion of ASDoc comments into code generated for symbols from .swc libraries.
Workspace Symbol: Added missing non-private methods and properties from .swc libraries (they were already included from source files).

1.16.0

New Features

Build: Automatically detects the Adobe AIR SDK namespace and updates the application descriptor when copying it to the output directory.
Build: May specify "bundle" for air field in tasks.json to detect current operating system and choose "windows" or "mac" automatically.

Views: Fixed exception in ActionScript Source Paths view when the project has no source paths yet.

1.10.0

New Features

General: SDK path is no longer required to be absolute. It may be specified relative to the workspace root folder, or relative to the .code-workspace file, for multi-root workspaces.

1.9.0

Fixed Issues

General: Fixed issue that prevented the language server from running with a socket instead of standard input.
General: The language server automatically exits as soon as the input stream from the parent process closes. This should help prevent zombie processes from staying open after closing Visual Studio Code.

Other Changes

Dependencies: Apache Royale compiler updated to v0.9.8.

1.8.0

New Features

Code Generation: Smarter detection of underscore (_) characters at the beginning of the original variable. The undercore is added to the backing variable, if missing. It is removed from the getter and setter, if present.
Completion: Can now suggest methods to override after only the override keyword (previously, you needed to specify both the override and function keywords and the namespace to get suggestions). Also, lists getters and setters that may be overridden.
Settings: New setting as3mxml.sources.organizeImports.addMissingImports determines whether missing imports are added when the organize imports command is run.

Views: The ActionScript Source Paths view now displays source paths for all open projects (not just the first).

Fixed Issues

General: Fixed issue where source files on case-insensitive file systems might not be associated with the correct project, resulting in limited code intelligence.
Problems: Fixed issue where some errors were not displayed if certain compiler options were misconfigured.

v1.4.0

New Features

Build: Support for compiling Apache Flex modules.
Project Import: Modules in Adobe Flash Builder projects are now included.

Fixed Issues

Build: Further reduce command line options generated when adding folders to an Adobe AIR application. In some cases, it would make the command too long and the build would fail.

Completion: Fix location of added imports in MXML <fx:Script> tags when CDATA is missing.

v1.3.0

New Features

Projects: Multiple projects in a single workspace folder. If a workspace folder contains additional asconfig.json files in sub-folders, these will be detected as separate projects. Perfect for projects containing tests and for quickly opening a shared parent folder without manually adding each project as a separate workspace folder.

Fixed Issues

Build: Quick compile commands no longer print incorrect "pending" message before initialization when no asconfig.json files are detected.
General: Fix warning in output console that referenced a vscode-userdata: URI.
Hover: fix formatting of constructor names to look like ClassName.com.example.ClassName.
Hover: fix missing ASDoc documentation when hovering over symbols in .mxml files.

Other changes

General: The ActionScript SDK status bar item is visible only when the active editor contains an .as, .mxml or asconfig.json file. This better matches how the TypeScript version status bar item behaves.

v1.2.2

Fixed Issues

Hover: Documentation for .swc files that embed the appropriate asdoc XML files is now displayed.
Hover/Definition: Resolves this and super to the appropriate class so that some details may be displayed.
Settings: Added new as3mxml.languageServer.jvmargs setting to pass additional arguments to the language server (the code intelligence engine) on startup. Example:
```
{
  "as3mxml.languageServer.jvmargs": "-Xms512m -Xmx1024m"
}
```
Settings: Added new as3mxml.sdk.animate setting to optionally configure a custom path for Adobe Animate if it is installed at a non-standard location.

Fixed Issues

Hover: Fixed null pointer exception when hovering over the void keyword.

Other Changes

Dependencies: Apache Royale compiler updated to v0.9.7.

v1.1.1

Fixed Issues

Problems: Fixed issue where setting both as3mxml.sdk.framework and as3mxml.sdk.editor to the same SDK would be incorrectly detected as having no SDK configured.

v1.1.0

New Features

Project: Added the defaults-css-files compiler option to asconfig.json.

Fixed Issues

Build: Fixed issue where Adobe AIR files copied into the debug folder did not have the same relative paths as they would when packaging the final application.
Completion: Fixed issue where completing a property in MXML as a child tag with an existing prefix would incorrectly omit the same prefix from the closing tag.

Other Changes

Problems: When the as3mxml.sdk.framework setting is empty, and no SDKs are automatically detected from the environment, the extension no longer displays a pop-up error notification. Instead, the message appears in the problems view when an .as or .mxml file is open, or if an asconfig.json file is present at the root of the workspace.
Tasks: The extension does not automatically activate when a full list of tasks is requested by VSCode. However, tasks will be provided if the extension is activated in another way, such as when the workspace contains asconfig.json or when an .as or .mxml file is open in an editor.

v1.0.0

New Features

Project: Import projects from FlashDevelop. If you open a folder containing a FlashDevelop project, Visual Studio Code will prompt to convert it to asconfig.json.

Fixed Issues

Build: Fixed issue where as3mxml.asconfigc.verboseOutput setting was ignored when building with Adobe Animate.
General: Fixed issue where certain compiler options could be incorrectly interpreted as file names, resulting in strange errors.
General: Fixed issue where an Apache Royale SDK that contains royale-sdk-description.xml, but not flex-sdk-description.xml, was not considered valid.
Problems: Fixed issue where wrong path was displayed when mainClass was not found.
Rename: Fixed issue where references were not found inside array [] and object {} literals.
Snippets: Fixed issue where for-loop snippet was missing a semi-colon.

Other Changes

Build: The theme compiler option may now be either a string or an array of strings.
Build: Added the include-libraries compiler option.
Rename: Optimized renaming a local variable or function inside a method, which previously searched for references in multiple files.

v0.25.0

New Features

Build: Added aab as a value for the Adobe AIR arch option for Android to support Harman's latest SDK.

Build: Added mainClass field to asconfig.json to optionally use instead of files. Example:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "source-path": ["src"]
  },
  "mainClass": "com.example.Main"
}

Build: Added extends field to asconfig.json that may be used to reference another asconfig file to use as a base template while overriding some values. For example, you could override the mainClass field for a custom build:
```
{
  "extends": "asconfig.base.json",
  "mainClass": "com.example.MainOverride"
}
```

Fixed Issues

Build: Fixed issue where a file not found error could be reported when using -arch option when packaging an Adobe AIR application.
General: Fixed null reference exception in .mxml file when root tag is not found.
General: Fixed incorrect code intelligence near beginning or end of .as files included with <fx:Script> in MXML.
Syntax: Fixed syntax highlighting issues in MXML for <fx:Metadata> and <fx:Script> tags that start and end on the same line.
Tasks: When no target is specified for an Adobe AIR desktop app, tasks list now includes both captive runtime and shared runtime packaging tasks. Previously, it was necessary to specify the bundle target.

Other Changes

Language Server: Specifying the socket port to use for protocol communication requires the -Das3mxml.server.port command line option. Other editors besides Visual Studio Code may need to update their launch command. However, using stdio instead of sockets is recommended.

v0.24.1

Fixed Issues

Dependencies: Fixed dependency on vscode-swf-debug extension that had a typo.

v0.24.0

New Features

Build: Added x86_64 as a value for the Adobe AIR arch option for Android to support Harman's latest SDK.

Fixed Issues

Completion: Fixed issue where completion could sometimes be incorrectly disabled because the current code offset was incorrectly detected as being inside a multi-line comment.

Other Changes

Debugging: Moved SWF debugger into separate extension, vscode-swf-debug, and made that a dependency of this extension.

v0.23.2

Fixed Issues

Dependencies: Fixed issue that language server was built with nightly version of the Apache Royale compiler instead of v0.9.6. The nightly version had a bug that caused code intelligence to freeze.

v0.23.1

Fixed Issues

Problems: Fixed issue where an error containing a Java stack trace was sometimes displayed after a .swc file was changed on the file system.
Problems: Fixed issue where an error containing a Java stack trace was displayed when the output compiler option was missing in a library project.
Problems: Fixed issue where no errors were displayed if certain required compiler options were missing.

v0.23.0

New Features

Build: Added armv8 as a value for the Adobe AIR arch option for Android to support Harman's latest SDK.
Editor: Improved performance of real-time problem checking, reducing sluggishness in certain files.
Editor: Fades out unused imports, and new code actions may be used to remove them.
Editor: Strikes out references to deprecated APIs.
Problems: Hides compiler errors and warnings for files that are not referenced by the project, unless they are opened in an editor.

This change makes Visual Studio Code behave more like other IDEs, such as Adobe Flash Builder, when displaying problems for ActionScript and MXML.

Fixed Issues

Build: Fixed issue where the "quick compile" commands could be triggered without an asconfig.json file
Completion: Fixed issue where functions and variables at a package-level were not included in import completion.
Editor: Fixed issue where some asconfig files were not validated. Now, if the file name contains a middle token, like asconfig.production.json, it will be validated.
Problems: Fixed issue where warnings were reported without their associated numeric code.
Syntax: Fixed syntax highlighting issues for function parameter types and return types.

Other Changes

Dependencies: Apache Royale compiler updated to v0.9.6.
Dependencies: eclipse/lsp4j updated to v0.8.0.
Snippets: Removed snippets for return statements, to match Microsoft's removal of similar snippets for JavaScript and TypeScript.

v0.22.0

New Features

Build: The application field in asconfig.json can now (optionally) accept an object that references multiple platforms so that each platform may use a different file. Example:
```
{
  "application": {
    "ios": "src/ExampleIOS-app.xml",
    "android": "src/ExampleAndroid-app.xml"
  }
}
```
You may continue to specify a single Adobe AIR application descriptor for all platforms — just like in previous versions:
```
{
  "application": "src/Example-app.xml"
}
```
Settings: Added as3mxml.asconfigc.jvmargs setting to pass additional arguments to the Java Virtual Machine when running the compiler. Example:
```
{
  "as3mxml.asconfigc.jvmargs": "-Xms512m -Xmx1024m"
}
```
This setting may be used to increase performance and fix out of memory errors when compiling, similar to Adobe Flash Builder.
Settings: Added as3mxml.asconfigc.verboseOutput setting to display more detailed output when running a build task. Verbose output includes the full set of options passed to any tools that are run during the build (including the compiler and the Adobe AIR packager).

Fixed Issues

Build: Fixed issue where -sampler, -embedBitcode and -hideAneLibSymbols were incorrectly formatted when packaging an Adobe AIR application for iOS.
Build: Simplified the ADT command when packaging folders into an Adobe AIR application.
Build: Fixed issue where folders to be packaged in an Adobe AIR app could not be found when building an asconfig.json file that is not in the workspace root (such as when the file is in a sub-folder).
Build: Fixed issue where the name of the generated Adobe AIR application descriptor was wrong when using a template from the SDK.
Debug: Fixed issue where SWF workers were not allowed to start in the debugger.
Tasks: Fixed issue where Adobe AIR packaging tasks were missing if the airOptions section were missing in asconfig.json, but other fields could be used to detect the Adobe AIR requirement.
Code Actions: Fixed null reference exception when MXML cannot be parsed.
Completion: Fixed issue where // in a URL namespace was incorrectly detected as a comment when appearing before an MXML attribute.
Completion: Fixed issue where completing an MXML attribute does not automatically add ="" if the next character is already =.

Other Changes

Documentation: Added a page that explains how to enable ActionScript and MXML code intelligence in Sublime Text by using the language server from this Visual Studio Code extension.

v0.21.0

New Features

Editor: Enabled partial code intelligence for open files that come from outside of the workspace's source path. This includes SDK framework classes, and .as and .mxml files that are opened when no workspace folder is open in Visual Studio Code.
Settings: Added as3mxml.problems.showFileOutsideSourcePath setting to disable the informational message that is displayed when an open .as or .mxml file is not in the workspace's source path.

Fixed Issues

Code Actions: Fixed issue where a null reference exception could be thrown if the line number and indent could not be discovered.
Completion: Fixed issue where completing a method incorrectly added () when the next character in the file is already (.
Debugger: Fixed issue where port forwarding for connected devices was not cleaned up if the connection to the debugger times out.
Syntax: Fixed issue where comments inside function signature parameters were not colored correctly.
Syntax: Fixed issue where parameter types containing numbers were not colored correctly.

Other Changes

Build: Activating a "quick compile" command before the language server initializes now queues it up for later, instead of displaying an error message. After initialization, the queued compile command will be re-attempted.
Language Server: Consolidated the TextDocumentService and WorkspaceService implementations into a single ActionScriptServices class. Custom language servers that extend the old ActionScriptTextDocumentService or ActionScriptWorkspaceService will need to extend the new class instead.

v0.20.0

New Features

Code Action: Added ability to generate an event listener from an addEventListener() call.
Completion: When completing a method name, automatically adds parentheses, moves the cursor between them, and activates signature help.
SWF Debugger: Supports breakpoints in .hx files.
SWF Debugger: Classes and other global objects may be added to the Watch panel to see static variables and constants.

Fixed Issues

Build: Fixed slowdown in v0.19 caused by fixes for copySourcePathAssets and read-only files.
Build: Fixed issues parsing additionalOptions in asconfig.json and consolidated parsing code so that it is consistent between builds and code intelligence.
Build: Added missing keep-all-type-selectors and show-unused-type-selectors to compilerOptions.
Editor: Fixed issue where contents of <fx:Style> and <mx:Style> were not treated as CSS for some actions, such as toggling comments.
General: Fixed issue where code intelligence for items in a Vector was not available when accessed by index. For example, the alpha property in vec[0].alpha is now properly resolved by code intelligence.
Rename: Fixed issue where rename symbol failed.
Signature Help: Fixed issue where signature help was not available in MXML data binding and events.
SWF Debugger: Fixed issue where static variables and constants were displayed on an instance when paused at a breakpoint. To see static variables now, add the class to the Watch panel.

Other Changes

The minimum supported version of Visual Studio Code is now 1.34.0.
eclipse/lsp4j dependency updated to v0.7.1.
Refactoring: Major refactor to make the AS3 & MXML language server easier to maintain and more approachable to new contributors. Extracted most features out into their own separate classes.
Changed Visual Studio Code's language identifier for ActionScript from "nextgenas" to "actionscript". Most people will not be affected by this change, but if your settings.json contains a "[nextgenas]" section, you will need to change that to "[actionscript]" instead.

Tips & Tricks

To generate an event listener, call addEventListener() with the name of a method that doesn't exist yet:
```
target.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeHandler);
```
Place the cursor inside the method name, and click the light bulb 💡 icon that appears (or use the Ctrl+. keyboard shortcut). Choose Generate Event Listener from the drop down.
In the SWF debugger, to see the static variables and constants defined on a class, you can add the fully-qualified class name to the Watch panel. If the class is in a package, be sure to separate the package and class with the :: operator. For example, you might add flash.events::Event to see all of the static constants defined on this class.

v0.19.0
