I found an issue where I would try to run a graph, but nothing would happen in the eclipse/clover tool. No error message or any indication as to what was wrong. This is on clover designer 3.4. After searching for a long time I figured out it was due to an ‘&’ in a file input name and graph name. It would be very helpful if the eclipse/clover tool would alert the user to this problem rather than silently doing nothing.
Hi, Tom,
Ampersand in the name of your input file is not an issue but ampersand in the name of your graph is. You can open Error log in Eclipse (Window → Show view → Other… → General → Error log) and find an exception like this:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: ‘&’ is an invalid character in a configuration name
at org.eclipse.debug.internal.core.LaunchManager.isValidLaunchConfigurationName(LaunchManager.java:2672)
It would be better to show this message to user automatically. So I started an issue in our Jira, see https://bug.javlin.eu/browse/CLO-1069
Thank you for your feedback.
Best regards,
