[BUG] Request textDocument/documentSymbol failed.

[SchnuckySchuster]

Describe the bug I have the plugin installed and some RobotFramework test files in CucumberFormat open. I'm working under Windows 11.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Have some RobotFramweork files (*.robot and *.resource) open
2. Switch between open files
3. A error message appears

Logs [Error - 09:58:28] Request textDocument/documentSymbol failed.

I cannot reproduce this behavior.

What do you mean with CucumberFormat? Maybe you can give some examples?

[d-biehl]

And some information about your environment would be good, like VSCode Version, Python Version and Robot Framework Version.

[rvankruistum]

I am seeing the same errors.

VSCode version: 1.96.2 Robotcode extension version: 0.105.0 Python: 3.12.5 Robot Framework: 7.1.1

[d-biehl]

Again, I cannot reproduce this bug. It would be really helpfull, if you can provide more informations.

when exactly does this error occur? Where did you find the error? Does a error message popup? In the log files? What is in your files? Do you have maybe a short example?

[rvankruistum]

when exactly does this error occur? When switching between .robot files Where did you find the error? Error popup in the bottom right + output log (see example above) What is in your files? Here is an example (I had to change some stuff to remove company-specific data):

*** Settings ***
Documentation       Test something

Library             RequestsLibrary
Resource            resources/common_keywords.resource

Suite Setup         Create api session    ${URL}/path   session
Test Setup          Run Keywords
...                     Delete All Testdata


*** Test Cases ***
### GET endpoints

User Does Stuff
    User Setup    user
    ${response}=    GET On Session    session    /path
    Status Should Be    200    ${response}
    Should Be Equal As Strings    ${response.json()    {}

Edit: I tested it a bit more, and the error only seems to show up if I have a robot file open with: Test Tags robot:skip (or any other tag)

[d-biehl]

Thanks for the example, but I still cannot reproduce it. Does this happen in earlier versions of RobotCode? DocumentSymbols are related to the Outline View on the right side. Is anything displayed there? Do you have any other extensions related to Robot Framework installed?

Hello,

I don't have exact idea how to reproduce this issue too, but I usually found out the error will popup when I switch my git branch in vscode. here is the screenshot:

[Weinzierleiner]

I'm facing the same issue since the latest update of RobotCode VSCode extention to version 0.105.0. The issue does not occur on version 0.104.0.

VS Code shows an error notification when opening or saving a .robot or .resource file:

Here's error message from the Output Tab of the RobotCode Language Server:

Start collect workspace diagnostic for 2 documents End collect workspace diagnostic for 2 documents took 0.0988 seconds [Error - 11:45:16 AM] Request textDocument/documentSymbol failed. TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'range') at hn (/root/.vscode-server/extensions/d-biehl.robotcode-0.105.0/out/extension.js:35:71898) at s (/root/.vscode-server/extensions/d-biehl.robotcode-0.105.0/out/extension.js:35:46654) at Object.yD [as map] (/root/.vscode-server/extensions/d-biehl.robotcode-0.105.0/out/extension.js:35:46740) at Object.jn [as asSymbolInformations] (/root/.vscode-server/extensions/d-biehl.robotcode-0.105.0/out/extension.js:35:71541) at c (/root/.vscode-server/extensions/d-biehl.robotcode-0.105.0/out/extension.js:39:56109) at async uI.provideDocumentSymbols (file:///vscode/vscode-server/bin/linux-x64/91fbdddc47bc9c09064bf7acf133d22631cbf083/out/vs/workbench/api/node/extensionHostProcess.js:138:126457) Start analyzing workspace for 2 documents End analyzing workspace for 2 documents took 0.0011 seconds

Environment:

• VSCode version: 1.96.3 (running with a devcontainer inside a local WSL2)
• Robotcode extension version: 0.105.0
• Python: 3.11.11
• Robot Framework: 7.1.1
• Other extensions: ms-python.python

Even after deactivating all robotcode related settings.json of the user or the workspace and clearing/restarting the RobotCode Language Server, the error remains.

To keep it simple, here's the Outline View of the following minimalistic .robot file, which causes an error when opening/saving it in VSCode:

*** Test Cases ***
Test 1
    No Operation

My gut feeling tells me that it has something to do with the *** sections *** used within a .robot or .resource file.

I’ve uploaded a new version; could you try it out and give me some feedback?

[rvankruistum]

I just tried it and it seems to have solved the issue. Thanks!

[CedricAudouard]

Hi,

I see two different errors types mentioned:

• textDocument/documentSymbol failed
• Sending notification workspace/didChangeConfiguration failed

On my side with the new version (RobotCode cache cleared and server restart), il still have the second one. VsCode v1.96.3, RF v7.0, Python 3.12, latest RC extension

The error occurs when I modify a variable in my Settings.json and save the file:

"robotcode.robot.env": { "VALUE": "50" },

[Error - 10:01:09 AM] Sending notification workspace/didChangeConfiguration failed Error: Starting server failed at Lf.$start (c:\Users\myuser.vscode\extensions\d-biehl.robotcode-0.106.0\out\extension.js:41:12225) at async Lf.sendNotification (c:\Users\myuser.vscode\extensions\d-biehl.robotcode-0.106.0\out\extension.js:39:115074) [Error - 10:01:11 AM] Server process exited with code 0.

Thanks !

[Weinzierleiner]

I’ve uploaded a new version; could you try it out and give me some feedback?

I can confirm that the issue for the reported error "Request textDocument/documentSymbol failed" is fixed with 0.106.0 - thanks a lot 👍

UPDATE @d-biehl: Rejoiced too soon.. After updating to 0.106.0 I did not encounter the issue, but for some reason, the error appeared again with 0.106.0:

[d-biehl]

The workspace/didChangeConfiguration error occurs when you change a setting that requires restarting the language server, while VS Code simultaneously tries to send a notification to the server about the configuration change. This issue will also be resolved in the next release.

[CedricAudouard]

@d-biehl Tried just now with latest release 0.106.1 in my case I don't have the warning anymore. I see you suppress UI error notifications, works for me for workspace/didChangeConfiguration error :) Thanks

[Weinzierleiner]

For me the issue is unfortunately not fixed with version 0.108.0 and the error notification in VS code saying "Request textDocument/documentSymbol failed" still pops up when a .resource or .robot file is opened in a VS Code tab. This is the output:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'range')
    at hn (/root/.vscode-server/extensions/d-biehl.robotcode-0.108.0/out/extension.js:35:71898)

What I found out: I can only reproduce the behaviour with the following conditions:

1. User Settings: "editor.formatOnSave": true and
2. having a .robotidy configuration within the repo's root folder.

As soon as I delete the .robotidy configuration or comment out its content, clear the cache of RobotCode and restart VS Code, the problem is gone. Vice versa: As soon as I set "editor.formatOnSave" to false and clear the cache of RobotCode and restart VS Code, the issue is gone, too.

[d-biehl]

@Weinzierleiner what is in your .robotidy file?

[Weinzierleiner]

@d-biehl I investigated a little more. Here are my conclusions:

• Within the settings.json of the workspace, "editor.formatOnSave": true must be set
• install the package robotframework-tidy
• the error appears without a .robotidy config, too
• the error appears even with "robotcode.robotidy.enabled": false within the settings.json

I was just able to reproduce it more accurately - here are the steps: Create a test.robot file with the following content:

*** Test Cases ***
test
    test1


*** Keywords ***
test1
    No Operation

With having "editor.formatOnSave": true, hit CTRL+S about five times per second or more often. You'll see that the content gets formated, although "robotcode.robotidy.enabled": false. Then you should see the Error notification.

[d-biehl]

hopefully I have fixed it now.

I have found some different behaviour in the latest robot version when parsing keywords and testcases with an empty name. In previous versions the name of the corresponding statement instance was None when the name is not given in the source file. Now it is an empty string.

@SchnuckySchuster @rvankruistum @siongwai @Weinzierleiner can you confirm that this error is now fixed?

[Weinzierleiner]

@d-biehl For me my issue is unfortunately not fixed with 0.109.6. When saving the file or switching the browser tab, this error occurs:

[brt-yilmaz]

Same with @Weinzierleiner

[d-biehl]

tried a little bit, now I can reproduce it...

[d-biehl]

@Weinzierleiner @brt-yilmaz and the others can you try again?

[Weinzierleiner]

@d-biehl That looks very promising, can't reproduce it anymore! Thank you very much :)

[brt-yilmaz]

same as @Weinzierleiner 💯
