Solium Dependency Update

[nikitaeverywhere]

Hello! Thank you for writing a great plugin for VSCode.

While Solium is v1.1.5 in master branch, it is still v0.5.5 in vscode-solidity.

Will you accept pull request updating the dependency? Are there any critical parts of the plugin that may be affected?

Thank you!

Any advice on how to upgrade the Solium version in this VS Code solidity extension? I get a lot of nonsense warning and errors on some sources, would like to use the new solium version but don't know how to upgrade. Thanks

@antogh looks like they abandoned this project. Maybe we should consider forking it. Anyone from maintainers?

Hey guys, I'm the maintainer of Solium.
Although I don't have much knowledge about this extension itself, you can try resolving your problem the same way beaugunderson/vscode-solidity-extended#3 deals with it.

[nikitaeverywhere]

@duaraghav8, thank you! Doing so will most likely work, but we need to get some feedback from vscode-solidity maintainers first. They have a couple of PRs with no feedback yet given and that's why I assume the project is abandoned. Anyone from maintainers? @juanfranblanco?

Thank you @duaraghav8

I tried the other extension but I didnt find a way to change the compiler version there
When I tried I was very tired (working hard on short deadlines) so I asked on that repo how to do it,
beaugunderson/vscode-solidity-extended#8
no answer so far

Overall the other extension seems less documented and with much less settings to customize the environment. I prefer this extension.

@juanfranblanco did an excellent job, he also has a great reputation, I dont think he abbandoned this project. I hope to get an answer from him to fix this issue. Shouldnt be difficult, after all solium is just an external reference to this extension, should be a matter to upgrade that reference. I confess I tried to force this upgrade manually but failed so far,
I changed the package.json reference to solium, in a win10 machine it is located here
%USERPROFILE%.vscode\extensions\JuanBlanco.solidity-0.0.31\package.json
and I changed the solium folder with the newest from @duaraghav8 repo , in the same win10 machine this is the folder where the vscode extension stores solium
%USERPROFILE%.vscode\extensions\JuanBlanco.solidity-0.0.31\node_modules\solium

unfortunately something went wrong, VS Code was erroring at start saying the extension crashed.

Again I did it tired and in a hurry, maybe I missed something, if someone else want to try and in case of success update this thread.

I have also the problem that github email notifications sometime are not fired, I missed the last couple of messages here, I have to do manual polling to check the issues I am involved in... 😡

[juanfranblanco]

No the project is not abandoned I just get no damn notifications. I will do upgrades this weekend for everything.

Please drop by in Gitter on either Nethereum or Vscode if you dont get any answers.

Hi @juanfranblanco thanks , I am big fan of you and your project, glad to hear you and know the project is still alive (had little doubts about it) I was almost going to ping you on twitter but was afraid to disturb you. Good that you noticed this issue on your own.

So I am not alone with this missed GH notification problem... we maybe should open another issue with GH ...

I noticed that after changing the destination email for GH notifications to a gmail account (had different provider before) the reception rate has improved, maybe it can help...

Cheers

[juanfranblanco]

Yes. I have actually just done that, let's see how it goes. Feel free to ping me anytime in twitter or Nethereum https://gitter.im/Nethereum/Nethereum. I am always there providing support.

[nikitaeverywhere]

Thank you very much @juanfranblanco! I appreciate your work and use your solidity plugin on a daily basis.

[juanfranblanco]

Closing this, as it is upgraded now.

[antogh]

Hi @juanfranblanco saw the upgrade this morning I got the new solium in your extension (dind't even notice the upgrade, all was done silently without requesting my approval to update)

However I have a problem with this upgrade, now every linter warning or error is causing an annoying popup to appear in the bottom right corner , how do I disable it? I was ok with errors just in the "problems" windows that I show when I want but these continuos notification popup are really annoying and distracting when coding

[juanfranblanco]

That might be due to the Emit issue as it is not fully finished in solium. I'll disable it (remove it)

[antogh]

ok thanks, have a look at this to feel my pain

[juanfranblanco]

New version published

[antogh]

Thanks, I see no more popups ,
but again
didnt tell vs code to update your extension nor I was notified it was happening , it seems all happening in background silently... robots starts to decide instead of humans :)
