I'm playing with my simple NodeJS project in PhpStorm and suddenly the control-click navigation stopped working. When I click on a required file path, I just get message Cannot find declaration to go to. For example:
var Controller = require('./lib/Controller');
The file is definitely there as the program runs without problems. And if I control-click some global function or object (like "require" itself), the navigation works, the definition of the function/object is opened.
It affects now all my NodeJS/JavaScript projects. Is it possible that I simply disabled some kind of code analysis?
I have recently upgraded from PhpStorm 7 to EAP (to get grunt support) and then to 8.0.1. The problem appeared somewhere during the upgrades. I just can't tell exactly when.
The problem was that the NodeJS plugin was disabled and in my case marked as "incompatible" with current PhpStorm version. Apparently, NodeJS is necessary for navigation through require statements.
It wasn't possible to update the plugin for some reason, so I simply reinstalled it and the problem was fixed.

I did everything starting from deleting the .suo file and restarting it and installing every extensions like web essentials and GotoDefinition, deleted the tmp files (have also installed the VS update 1) but all in vain nothing works.
Like for example if there is a user defined function likepreparemandatoryfield() which I defined in Script.js file and if I press f12 on preparemandatoryfield() it says
go to definition failed either because the caret is already at the definition
error.
This Goto definition specifically doesnt work in javascript functions but works everywhere in VS 2015.
Also encountered this bug. Disabling/enabling extensions not helps.
Besides got to definition not worked, intellisense stopped for me.
I reset my _references.js file and this solved the problem. Cleared the content the file and leaved only:
/// <autosync enabled="true" />
(Found that the guilty script is the jquery ui library. Removed any jquery ui related script from _references.js and this solved the problem. I'm not used the full jquery ui script file, instead a custom built one by the theme roller.)
I had the same problem in VS2015. Switched to VS2017 and it works.
I'm trying to debug an AngularJS app in Chrome (with the Jetbrains extension) within Webstorm 8. It's working just fine, but the only naggy thing is that the actual file that has breakpoints in it doesn't get debugged, but a readonly copy that reads as the full url of the file is (see screenshot). It works, but I cannot edit the readonly file while moving from line to line.
edit: plus, the IDE usually shows an outdated version of my JS file and I have to manually refresh it to see the correct one.
The Webstorm Run/Debug config for Javascript is really straight forward, basically just the URL to the app.
Does anyone knows how to avoid this?
Cheers
The short answer is: you can't
The longer answer is, the computer is not running the code that you see on the screen, that's just what the debugger is showing you. The computer is actually running optimized, non-human-readable Javascript bytecode, which is created when you start your JS program, after syntax is checked, namespaces are created and memory is allocated for variables etc. You can't edit that bytecode by writing JS code directly, at least not with any debugger I know of (and I'm fairly certain you can't with Webstorm specifically; I use PHPStorm and its Javascript debugger).
Such problems usually mean that remote files are not correctly mapped to local ('remote URL' not correctly set for local files in Run configuration), so the debugger can't map the files being executed to your actual sources. I'm not sure what your application looks like... But, as Angular apps structure is more or less standard, I can suggest mapping the 'app' folder to 'http://localhost:9000' in javascript debug run configuration you are using to debug your angular code
Suddenly I receive this error message:
The JavaScript language service has encountered an error and has been shut down.
There is no intellisense in javascript!
What to do?
In my case I have:
Latest VS 2013 Upd.3
Latest Web Essential 2013
Latest ReSharper 8.2.1
Sometimes I see this errors on opening first JS-file after running the solution. I have spent about 2 days on it. Removing Web Essentials helps (also clean the AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\Extensions folder:
extensions.en-US.cache
extensionSdks.en-US.cache
"WebEssentials" folder - it will contain file WebEssentials2013.pkgdef
Then I have tried reset all VS settings and it helped. For a month) Today I have updated solution from the GIT via VS Git Tools (commit contained a lot of JS and CSS changes) and have seen it AGAIN!!!
New solution steps:
Export VS settings.
Reset VS settings
Restart VS.
Check if now it has no any errors.
Import all VS settings EXCEPT Options => TextEditor.
Turn on line numbers for all languages (and if you have some other custom settings - them too)
I don't know who is to blame but I have the fresh Windows 8.1 + fresh VS 2013.
The newest solution steps:
Open the CurrentSettings.vssettings file.
Remove
C:\Users\USERNAME\JsDocComments.js|C:\Users\USERNAME\Modern.Intellisense.js
string from the file
The latest solution steps:
Since I have the laptop with the new clean system w\o this issue I have done the following:
Backed up the PC level ReSharper settings and reset all of them
Reset VS settings with export current one
Restored the PC level ReSharpe settings
Restored the VS exported settings except Options => TextEditor => JS and JS Specific
I have restarted the VS several times and don't see the error now.
Try this solution:
"I was able to fix it: Uninstalling Snippet Designer and deleting the Code Snippets folder on C:\Users\USER\Documents\Visual Studio 2012"
Taken from:

I got this after accidentally copy-pasting a large chunk of HTML into a JavaScript file. Removing said HTML & restarting VS resolved the problem.
In my case, I have Visual Studio 2013 and a Node.js project which is weirdly set up. I just created an empty one and then copied angular-seed into it. So things are not as expected by VS, I guess. I was getting the same error as in the question.
I did not want to uninstal the snippet designer, so I did two things:
I made sure all the snippets in JavaScript folder had shortcuts defined (manually modified xml files) (it was mentioned on the same page Andrea provided link for) - this alone did not help.
I noticed that JavaScript Language Service output widow had a message in it complaining about missing _references.js file. I added the file manually and added only one line to it:
/// <autosync enabled="false" />
Visual Studio stopped complaining about the service failing then. I don't know if fix 2 alone does solve the issue.
ps: I decided to add this info here because this question comes first on Google search for the error. I know it is an old one...
I encountered this issue when I opened a solitary html file.
My workaround is to first open a Solution that contains a web project and then to open a JS file within it. After this, my solitary html file opens without error.
Remove Developer Assistant extension. Work for me
I'm developing a Symfony2 application using PHPStorm IDE.
I can't seem to make it work. I've tried Javascript Debug for both local and remote with multiple parameters. Messages varies from "Remote URL isn't specified for so breakpoint..." etc.
Best case scenario is that I would be able to debug my Javascript codes inside PHPStorm. Is this possible?
I'm also using AsseticBundle for my assets.
I use PHPStorm too but I only use it for coding, debuging is in browser..
So I would say it depends on if PHPStorm executes the app_dev.php and graps the output.
If you already have experience with PHPStorm (Debuging) you could answer this. I myself don't think so...
Hope I could help at least a little :)
JavaScript debugging is definitely possible from the PhpStorm if you are using Chrome or Firefox browser. Debugging JavaScript and PHP at the same time is not supported at the moment.
I was able to set this up
Install the JetBrains Chrome extension
In PHPStorm click the Run/Debug Configurations just to the left of the green bug near the top right
Add a Javascript Debug (using the plus sign)
In the URL box, just enter the URL of the page you're debugging (e.g. http://my.test/app_dev.php/route/here/not-there/3290), name the config, and apply
Add breakpoints in the js
Make sure dev tools is closed in the browser, then click the green bug (ensuring that the config named in 4 is chosen) and it will redirect to the page specified in 4.
The breakpoints will now be activated and are able to be stepped through (like xdebug). When it stops on a breakpoint it may be in a version of the original file with the file's name appended with a version number (this file is read-only). There is a button to the left hand side of the name where you can reload the read-only file being stopped at, after you have updated the actual (writable) file.
I have a NPAPI plugin which I have written and been using for some time with Firefox 3.x with no problems.
The object is defined as follows -
<object class="someClass" id="pluginobj" type="application/x-plugintype"></object>
I then call methods on it using the following format -
if( document.getElementById("pluginobj") != null )
{
document.getElementById("pluginobj").someMethod(someParams));
}
This is how I understand it should be done and has always worked fine. However, I recently installed this same plugin on a Windows 7 machine (with the same version of Firefox) and it now fails to find the functions defined in the plugin, so I get the following error -
Error: document.getElementById("pluginobj").someMethod is not a function
Nothing has changed at all within the plugin, this errors occurs for any method that is called, not a particular one, and it still works fine on Windows XP machines with no problems.
Very confused! Could anyone help? Thanks.
Note: I've also tried logging inside my plugin and it appears it's not even getting in to the NP_Initialize and NP_GetEntryPoints methods.
I have seen some suggestions around that it could be to with dependencies and libraries being linked to the plugin, but i'm not sure what could be missing on win 7?
Dependency Walker is showing a error saying that the "side-by-side configuration information is incorrect"?
Are you linking to other DLL files from your npapi plugin? Windows 7 works differently in how it finds DLL files, though I don't know the details. The times I've seen this with plugins in the past the problem was that on windows 7 one of the dll files couldn't be found. You could try copying dependency dll files to your system32 directory (not permanently, just to see if that's the issue). I would expect that there it would be able to find it.
If that's the issue, I unfortunately am not certain how to fix it, but it might help.
Another possibility based on the side-by-side configuration issue thing is that your visual studio project is creating a manifest that is telling windows that it requires a specific version of one of the DLLs that isn't there on windows 7. See: http://buffered.io/2008/05/17/resolving-side-by-side-configuration-issues/
I think I've resolved that issue in plugins before by disabling the manifest. I'm not sure; I've never had this issue with the way that FireBreath generates npapi plugin dlls, so I haven't needed to worry about it in the last year. You might consider looking at FireBreath, which works on both IE and Firefox (activex and npapi) and has a very good community for tracking down issues like this.
