Artplant NoiseIDE (http://artplant.no, https://github.com/artplant)

IDE for Erlang written from scratch using wxPython.

In Artplant we are using Erlang on server and Unity\C# on client. All work is done on windows, servers hosted on linux.

Most of the features we use are already in place, project is not in active development. From time to time i add something new. Codebase requires a lot of refactorings i can't find time to do. I think it requires total rewrite :)

##Windows MSI Installer Latest windows installer you can download from my dropbox folder or from latest github release (don't update it as often as dropbox)

##Linux\MacOs Never tried to run it on these platforms. Required calls to pywin32api are placed in special platform blocks. Everyone interested in running it on these platforms are welcome.

Tutorials

Simple tutorials for first setup, basic project and common controls elements are in wiki.

##Features

• Single app\multiple app erlang projects

  • Single app. 1 erlang application. Project folder contains default src\include\ebin folders.

  • Multiple app. Can contain 2 separate forlders: apps and deps.

    • Apps folder contains erlang applications you are working on and deps
    • Deps folder contains all dependencies, like mochiweb, gproc, etc.
    • They are compliled separately. ( For example we have 20+ deps in our projects and compile it only on first project initialization and later on dependency update).

  • Apps and deps path can be empty, all apps will be in project root.

• Project tree explorer with customization:

• File masks

• Hide\Show specific folders

• Show all files

• Auto refresh (Manual refresh if you have problems with performance on old machines. We had memory leaks on old machines. Directory polling is simple dir tree walk with state saving. I don't use any platform specific libs for it)

• Create new dirs\files from templates(standard erlang templates and also user templates)

• Ide\User commands support. (Special commands defined in configuration files that are executed in erlang (ide or project console) with placeholders for module\file\application

• Cut\Copy\Delete\Rename. Auto module renaming in project by request.

• Open folder in system explorer

• Erlang project configuration:

• Selected erlang runtime

• Erlang compiler options

• Erlang consoles configuration: title, sname, stat command, cookie, shell params (f.e. -config etc/app.config)

• Excluded dirs(ignore compilation, search, etc.)

• Working dir for consoles

• Code editor:

• Syntax highlighting

• Code navigation to module\function\record\macros\include

• Code completion for modules\functions\macros\vars\records\record fields\includes

• Code completion help info and tooltips(in code editor):

  • erlang docinfo\spec\comment\signature for function
  • record definition for record
  • macros definition for macros

• Compilation on the fly

• Brace match

• Simple auto indent (increase\decrease indent based on previous line)

• Highlight all occurrences of selected word

• Line numbers

• Folding

• Fast marker navigation to error\warning\search entry (right panel)

• Context menu: edit\copy\paste

• Context menu: Find references based on word under cursor

• Context menu: Compile with option (P\E\S erlang compilation flag to see resulting doc after all transformations. Good for parse_transform testing). Opens up addtional tab with result.

• File change polling

• Outline

• Go to line

• Incremental find in file

• Toggle: auto close brackets

• Toggle: place brackets around selected text

• Toggle: show white spaces

• Toggle: show eol

• Multiline comment\uncomment

• 2 color schemes (dark\white) for syntax highlighting. Now without user configuration

• Resolve record (import)

• Unfold record fields

• Error\Warings list with navigation to source

• XREF project check with results table and navigation to source

• Dializer support with results table and navigation to source.

• Set up home path

• Set up base plt

• Execute on project\application\module from project explorer

• Project consoles

• Start\stop

• Clear output

• Execute command (code completion, syntax highlight)

• Button with last 20 executed commands

• Ctrl-Up\Down to cycle between commands in text control

• Navigation markers for error log output (crashes, throws)

• Auto code reloading

• Save state for project(project tree state, opened files, masks, etc)

• Fast navigation to file by name

• Search and replace in files. Options: regexp, file masks, directory selection

• Auto result update (on file change\add\delete)

• Multiple result tabs

• Auto update (for windows)

• Client api for custom erlang tools:

• Special connector module for use in your custom erlang tools. Module: noiseide_api. It's automatically loaded in each project console.

• Current functions: goto_line, goto_file, goto_mfa. (we are using it in custom profiler for navigation to source file in editor)

• Editor tab manager:

• Split tabs

• Float tab

• Show in explorer tree

• Rename

• Close\All\Other

• Navigation history between files

• Last project list on start

• Dunno, may be forgot something :D

Used libs\apps

• Python 2.7
• wxPython 2.9.5
• PyYaml-3.*
• PyWin32-217
• cx_Freeze-4.3 for building exe\msi
