Problems view

The Problems view displays system-generated errors, warnings, or information associated with a resource. These are typically produced by builders/compilers. For example, if you build a source file that contains syntax errors, the errors are automatically logged in this view.

Note: If a problem is associated to (a line within) a component, double-click the problem to edit the component. The script editor opens the component at the involved line.

The problems are grouped into the following severity categories: Errors, Warnings, and Information.

This table shows the columns in the view:

Description A description of the problem. Also indicates the severity of the problem: Error, Warning or Info.
Resource The name of the resource associated with the problem.
Path The folder in your workspace where the resource is stored.
Location The line number of the problem within its associated resource.
Type The type of problem, such as "Script Problem".

Toolbar

This table shows the buttons in the toolbar of the view:

Menu

Provides commands to sort and filter the contents of the view, and to define preferences.

The Configure Contents command in the menu starts a dialog box where you can specify filters. You can filter items according to which resource or group of resources they are associated with. The filtering is performed by text string within the Description field, or by problem severity.

Note: To view problems and warnings related to the following, select the appropriate check box in the Configure Contents dialog box:
  • Configuration management: select the SCM Problem check box.
  • The source code in your scripts and libraries: select the Script Problem check box.

Known limits

The filter does not work properly if the Link with Editor option in the Activity Explorer is selected. For example, if you filter “On selected element only”, the compilation errors and warnings belonging to the source file are not displayed properly.

Shortcut menu

To open the shortcut menu, right-click on a resource in the view.

This menu provides various commands, such as a Properties command to view the properties of the selected problem.

For details on the other commands, see "User interface information" in the Workbench User Guide.
