Test Parsing Configuration
Test Parsing Configuration analyzes the C++ refactoring configuration that has been set up and reports
key information and errors. Generally, it is designed as a debugging aid when a refactoring fails, but it can
also be valuable as a means to view the parameters that are set for a refactoring. You can verify the re-
factoring setup before proceeding to avoid errors.
To access Test Parsing Configuration, from the main menu click C/C++ Refactoring → Test Parsing
Configuration (refactor_parse command), or right-click within the editor window and click C++ Refact-
oring → Test Parsing Configuration. On the Test Parsing Configuration dialog, click Parse File to parse
the file. Any errors are displayed in the SlickEdit® Core Output view. Click Preprocess File to preprocess
the file, sending the results to a new editor window. Click Copy to Clipboard to copy the entire display
shown in the window. This is useful for sending to SlickEdit Support if it is necessary to diagnose a prob-
lem.
The following example of the Test Parsing Configuration window shows an error stating that there is no
open workspace, as well as various other warnings. These are severe enough to prevent parsing the file,
which is why the Parse File button is unavailable.
