Netbeans 11.0 - Unable to Open Sources Directory
Here's the details of my installation:
Apache NetBeans IDE 11.0 (Build incubator-netbeans-release-404-on-20190319)
Java 11.0.2; OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 11.0.2+9
Runtime: OpenJDK Runtime Environment 11.0.2+9
Kubuntu Linux 18.10
KDE Plasma Version 5.15.4
KDE Frameworks Version 5.54.0
Qt Version 5.11.1
Kernel Version 4.18.0-25-generic
OS Type: 64-bit
Apache/2.4.34 (Ubuntu)
PHP Version 7.2.19-0ubuntu0.18.10.1
I am trying to create a new NetBeans HTML5/JavaScript project from
existing code. Here's the command sequence that I use in NetBeans:
File > New Project > Category: HTML5/JavaScript > Project: HTML5/JS
Application with Existing Sources.
Then I select Next.
Now in the Name and Location > Site Root > Browse panel, I try to select
the site root which is /var/www/html/mywebsite.
In the Select Site Root panel, I set Look In to the root directory (/)
and Files of Type is set to All Files.
I scroll down to the /var/ directory and expand the listing to see all
the subdirectories.
Seventeen subdirectories exist on the computer within the /var/
directory but NetBeans only lists six. The /www/ directory is not one of
them. In fact, NetBeans shows three subdirectories under /var/ that do
not exist in the real /var/ directory! (/var/config/, /var/data/ and
/var/db/)
The same behavior is seen in the Source Folder and the Project Directory
fields.
NetBeans shows nothing in the Notifications panel.
NetBeans is running under my user and the folder I'm trying to list is
owned by my user. It has permissions of drwxrwxr-x.
I couldn't find a solution for this problem in Apache's JIRA issue
tracker, mail-archives.apache.org nor Stack Overflow.
How can I get NetBeans to see my source directories?

And, if not, probably best to create a symlink from there to where you want
to work with your projects:

The Dolphin file manager presents the same information as the plain text
terminal but uses a graphical user interface (GUI).

Here's the output from a terminal showing the contents of the /var/

The listing in my file manager is essentially the same.
Now compare what is on the disk with the directories found by NetBeans
by checking it against the JPEG image that I sent you:
backups/ is not seen.
cache/ (with identical owner, group and permissions) IS seen.
crash/ is not seen.
config/ is seen by NetBeans but does not exist.
data/ is seen by NetBeans but does not exist.
db/ is seen by NetBeans but does not exist.
games/ is not seen.
lib/ is not seen.
lock -> /run/lock/ (a symlink) is not seen.
log/ is not seen.
mail/ is not seen.
metrics/ is not seen.
opt/ is not seen.
run -> /run/ (a symlink) is seen by NetBeans.
snap/ is not seen.
spool/ is not seen.
subversion/ is not seen.
tmp/ is seen by NetBeans.
www/ is not seen.
The tally for the /var/ directory is seventeen folders or symlinks on
the drive, three of which appear in the NetBeans listing and three
folders that NetBeans lists that do not appear on the hard drive.
My email concerning the symbolic link experiment follows.

Hurray.
I wouldn't say it's a workaround though -- it's probably the best way to
work, i.e., doing work in your var folder is probably not optimal.

Okay, I have created a symlink:
$ sudo ln -s /var/www /home/charles/netbeanslink
...which gives me:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jul 16 14:53 netbeanslink -> /var/www/
That works! I can now navigate to the source directory of my Website
inside NetBeans. I'll use the symlink method as a workaround.

The /spool/ folder exists in my /var/ directory (as shown on an earlier
email) but is one of many that are not seen by NetBeans.

There are several versions of NetBeans available. I happened to use the
Discover application installer in Kubuntu. I bypassed the available
version 10.0 and selected version 11.0 using Flatpak as the source.
(Version 11.0 is also available from Snap.)

Re: Netbeans 11.0 - Unable to Open Sources Directory

The point of the symbolic link is to not create it in the /var/ folder but
in /home/charles/somewhere, i.e., in your home directory.
I'm on Ubuntu myself, when I open the /var/ folder in my Favorites window,
one of the subolders I see below /var/ is 'spool', which for some reason
you do not see.
I don't know, not sure how to help, maybe there's something very specific
about your system that's hard to identify, maybe NetBeans is set up in some
very weird way that I've never heard of. Maybe someone else can suggest
something.

There must be something different between the folders you’re seeing and
those you’re not seeing, something somewhere must be different between them.
Or the /var/ folder you’re looking at on disk is different to the folder
you have open in the Favorites window.
As a last resort, you could create a new folder, that is recognized in
NetBeans, and symlink that to the folder you need that you’re not seeing.

So you’ve added the /var/ directory to the Favorites window. Can you expand
that folder and then take a screenshot of the /var/ folder in the Favorites

I can add the /var/ directory to the Favorites but if try to add
/var/www/, the error message is, "/var/www/ does not exist."

The /var/www/ folder and all child folders are not symlinks. Those exist
elsewhere on my system and are designated by a distinctive icon in my
file manager. If the /var/www/ were a symlink, the link destination
would also be shown in my file manager. It isn't.
Furthermore, I can open the full path down to my Website files in a
terminal using the 'cd' command. I arrive at a listing of my Website's
files, as expected. There is no redirection.

Re: Netbeans 11.0 - Unable to Open Sources Directory
Posted by Geertjan Wielenga <ge...@apache.org>.
When you go to the Favorites window in NetBeans (under the Window menu),
are you able to add the /var/www folder there into the Favorites window?
If not, possibly the folder is a symlink of some kind and not actually a
folder.

I made the changes you suggested but the situation has not changed. The
/var/ directory is shown in the Select Site Root dialog but the
/var/www/ subdirectory is not shown.
If I manually enter the path to the Website files into the Site Root
field, the error message shown is "Site Root is not a valid path." What
triggers that error message in the Linux version of NetBeans?

Also, NetBeans may not be showing the directories because they're hidden,
so try this:
1. Go to the Options window, under the Tools menu.
2. Click Miscellaneous.
3. In the Files tab, delete the content of 'Ignored Files Patterns' and
also uncheck 'Ignore all .dotted files in home folder'.
4. Click OK.

The wordpress domain is a public, publishing platform. Joomla users are welcome too :-) The more important issue is that the web page is talking about the /var/db folder on Mac OS X and you're running Kubuntu.

Apparently that Web page applies to WordPress Websites. All my Websites
use the Joomla content management system.
In any case, the /var/db/ directory is listed in NetBeans but doesn't
exist on my system.
That's a side issue anyway. I would be satisfied if NetBeans could find
the /var/www/html/ directory but I can't even drill down to /var/www/.
By the way, I have my LAMP installation set up for my non-root user (as
mentioned in one of the pages you linked). I have six Websites stored
and all work expected when loaded from any browser I have installed.

Please stop excluding the mailing list, right now you're only writing
directly to me.
Possibly they really do exist, just are not marked visible, i.e., they're
hidden somehow.
When I google around, there's quite some info around var/www and NetBeans,
e.g.:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/40054/how-do-i-save-files-in-var-www-in-netbeans
When you respond, can you make sure to include the mailing list?
Thanks,

So what's the difference between the source directories that NetBeans sees
and those that it does not see?
