IDEA-35892 href and image src attributes incorrectly labelled invalid

Issue is visible to: All Users

In a facelets project we use the following code to create links or source images within an XHTML file:

<img src="#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/images/blah.gif"/>

IDEA incorrectly reports "Cannot resolve symbol..." even though the file exists in the correct location. The same issue happens with href in anchor tags.

I understand the difficulty in generic parsing of EL expressions within tags like this but perhaps the #{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath} idiom could be handled specially as it is common.

Environment: Windows 2000

Issue was resolved

Have you mapped xhtml extension to JSPX file type?

Yes; I unmapped .xhtml from XHTML and assigned it to the JSPX file type.

Other things are working without issue, just this aspect.

Sounds similar to (but different from): IDEA-30613

Does this fix for this provide completion after the #{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath} part?
In other words: does the editor understand that #{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath} maps to the context root?

If so, then adding similar support for the non-JSF variant ${pageContext.request.contextPath} would be a first step to the fix for IDEA-30613

No, the fix removes erroneous highlighting for {...} having been recognized as an anchor reference.
