--------------------------------------
Summary: Site root folder prevents using run/debug a js file
inside this folder
Key: NETBEANS-25
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-25
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Bug
Components: javascript - Node.js
Affects Versions: 8.2
Reporter: Christian Lenz
I have a mixed HTML5/JS application with Node.js to create a fullstack
application with NetBeans. I created a little js file, which has node.js code
inside in a folder called app (name is not relevant). I set this folder to
"Site root" via the project properties. After this, I was wondering, why the js
file, with node code inside, doesn't have the actions "Run file" or "Debug
file" when I right click in the editor or on the file. Other files outside the
folder have it. So it was annoying and frustrating to find the bug and this
happens only, when I set a folder to "Site root".
In my opinion, it should ALWAYS be possible to run/debug a js file in any
folder. If you try to do it inside a js file, which has client side code, it
should give you errors like "smth is not defined" which is fine and nothing
more. NetBeans should not try to run this file inside a headless browser (Which
would be pretty cool but this is an other story).
It is not a good UX to remove such actions for the same filetype only when they
are in different folders. Please add those actions again to the file, even if
the file is inside a folder, which was set to a site root folder.
Regards
Chris
