Code Browser in OSX?
Submitted by Anonymous on Sunday, 27 March, 2005 - 15:04
I'm a long time user of jEdit, but just found out about the code browser plugin. I'm running OS/X v.10.3.8, and installed exuberant ctags (version 5.5.4) through darwinports. Ctags seems to run perfectly from the command line, but it just doesn't work inside of jEdit. I've got the correct path in the plugin settings. I've tried different kinds of files, some C, some tcl, html, java, and PHP, so I'm fairly sure it's not a language-support or file extension issue.

I noticed some odd behavior, as well. I've got the Code Browser docked on the right. When I first open jEdit, there are some entries in the code tree that are completely out of the blue (I expanded them so you could see):



If anyone could help me out with this, I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks

I'm able to verify that Code Browser is writing a tags file in my jEdit directory, that reflects the current buffer (and changes as the file changes and is saved). I thought maybe it was a permissions issue, so I changed the perms to 777. There's still no change in behavior.

It's working now. Turns out darwinports put ctags in a very weird place: /opt/local/var/db/dports/software/ctags/5.5.4_0/opt/local/bin/exctags.

The "regular" ctags program that comes with OSX (or Xcode tools at least) is in /usr/bin/ctags.

Thanks to Gerd Knops for helping me figure out what was wrong.
