Tell me your IDE issues

Tried intalling and app with compatibility.garageDoorControl. When installing the app, it crashed:
grails.validation.ValidationException: Validation Error(s) occurred during save():

• Field error in object ‘physicalgraph.device.Device’ on field ‘name’: rejected value [null]; codes [physicalgraph.device.Device.name.nullable.error.physicalgraph.device.Device.name,physicalgraph.device.Device.name.nullable.error.name,physicalgraph.device.Device.name.nullable.error.java.lang.String,physicalgraph.device.Device.name.nullable.error,device.name.nullable.error.physicalgraph.device.Device.name,device.name.nullable.error.name,device.name.nullable.error.java.lang.String,device.name.nullable.error,physicalgraph.device.Device.name.nullable.physicalgraph.device.Device.name,physicalgraph.device.Device.name.nullable.name,physicalgraph.device.Device.name.nullable.java.lang.String,physicalgraph.device.Device.name.nullable,device.name.nullable.physicalgraph.device.Device.name,device.name.nullable.name,device.name.nullable.java.lang.String,device.name.nullable,nullable.physicalgraph.device.Device.name,nullable.name,nullable.java.lang.String,nullable]; arguments [name,class physicalgraph.device.Device]; default message [{0} cannot be null]

… come to find out, it was because I was using the provided simulated devices, garageDoorControl does not permit the use of simulated devices. Had to change to my actual garage door controller to get it to work. I’d call this a bug.

This thread seems mostly dead, but just in case if this one is not already on the list of known issues : Too many missing entries in the IDE Log.

is code folding (all code, not just one function at a time) coming anytime soon ? For codes of several thousands of lines it is quite indispensable and so far IDE is rendered quite useless for me. I have to use a separate compiler and it’d be nice to be able to update my code directly withing IDE without spending every time up to 5 minutes folding everything first. Thanks a lot.

No enhancements to the “Groovy” IDE are ever coming, as the current API is deprecated.

The new API does not provide a code execution environment (you need to use AWS or other hosting), so you will use your own choice of editor/builder.

[Elfege_Leylavergne (ELllv)]

Thank you for your answer. Can you enlighten me a little about this new API? I’m not sure I know what you’re referring to. Thanks again.

Example using new SmartThings Cloud API!

Fellow developers, As many of you know, we recently made some announcements at SDC around the SmartThings Cloud. We’ll be providing more information about this soon, but one thing worth calling out is that the new API (it’s REST!) is already available! While some of the APIs are specific to the new SmartApp model, the /devices and /locations APIs can be used just like any other REST API. All you need is a personal access token, which you can get here. Example CLI Tool [image] To highlight some of the APIs, we wrote a simple CLI tool as an example. It allows you to get information about and control your devices, through a simple Command Line Interface. More importantly, it shows how you might use the API for your own projects. It’s open-sourced, and you can find the repository here. W…
