Strange errors in sqldeveloper console

[Richard Wiener]

I have got strange errors in sqldeveloper console. I don't know how it is important, formating code seems to be working OK.

I have downloaded latest version of plsql-formatter-settings-main.zip (readme date is 18.7.2021 16:34).

Console output:

Bind var 'offset' not found: null
Symbol 'analytic_clause[6,12)' not found
Symbol 'JSON_OBJECT' not found
incrementalAlignments callback: null

It would be good to know the sql you were working with when you got this error

[Barry McGillin]

@wienerri if you get a chance send the sql: in the meantime, I've asked the Vadim to take a look at the trace.

The version of SqlDev/SqlCl (the parser/Arbori library) is out of sync with the formatter program.

P.S. The parser in SQLDev is in perpetual maintenance mode, where the parser bugs are discovered and fixed. Consequently, parser rules change, and the symbols like analytic_clause[6,12) are renamed. You can find the valid symbol by searching analytic_clause[ in the allRules.txt, or drop it from the formatter program altogether. Admittedly, SQLDev should have grammar symbol names more resilient to the rules change.
