Hi there,
It seems i am not getting the full help text when using ‘Show Quick Help’. I wonder what i can do about this.
The help text i get is seen in the first screenshot (light theme).
What i mean with ‘full help’ is seen in the other screenshot (dark theme) from user @jalone from this thread: Xcode 15 syntax highlight, code completion and dev experience - #7 by jalone
I have found that sometimes you need to clear Xcode caches in order for Quick Help to start working again. For reference, I am using Xcode 16.2, and what I see matches the lower, dark-mode image you posted above.
Thank you for the advice!
I deleted ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData and cleaned the build folder with Command + Shift + K. At project reload the file got indexed again.
Unfortunately i still get the same limited help.
Maybe one of these will help?
Thanks again!
I deleted ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode.
It didn’t effect the help.
I just noticed that i get a full ‘Quick Help’ for a listed base class (eg juce::AudioProcessorEditor).
Do you get a full help for an override function like in the dark theme screenshot?
Maybe newer versions of Xcode don’t show you the help for the virtual function from the base class in this case anymore.
I think that you are correct. Maybe the older version of Xcode would show the help from the virtual function when you are clicking on the override function. That is not working for me either, in Xcode 16.2.
I find that since XCode 26 the indiexing of projects is much worse than bfeore. “Jump to definition” works some of the time, but half the time just pops up a “?”.
