Unidentified Issue in Code crashes Dreamweaver 2017

I have a few php files that I am unable to open without crashing the app.  There must be an issue with my coding style or something that I haven't yet Identified.  The files open fine in brackets and other editors.  Most of the files aren't very large, only a few kb.  They don't generate any errors compiling or at runtime so I know the code is valid.  But something about the code itself Dreamweaver doesn't like because just creating a new file and inserting the same code crashes the app.

Anyone else experienced this and / or identified the issue?

TIA

Hi Ben,

While grabbing you a snippet I happened to find the culprit at least for this file I think.

It appears Dreamweaver doesn't like me unpacking a constant... On line 22 I have a constant array value ( ROLES ) that I apply as arguments with the ( ... ) spread operator.  If I switch it to a variable representation ( $ROLES ) the app doesn't crash.

Going to check now and let you know but I assume I have something like this in the other symptomatic scripts.

Thanks for the volley Ben

Hi,

We have fixed the issue as stated above, and it will be available in the next release of Dw. If you are a pre-release user, you can go ahead and verify the fix in the build shared.

Hi,

Thanks for the detailed steps, we were able to reproduce this crash at our end. Also, this crash is only occurring if the PHP version used is 5.6 and since before Dw 17.1 update the version supported was 5.6 so it occurs there as well.

Apart from the workaround suggested by you, if you are using Dw 17.1 or above please try using PHP 7.6 and you wont see the crash.

We have raised this issue to the team and will get this fixed.

Any chance of posting problem code?

Same issue with my other files.

Here is my quick workaround for now.  Just assign to a temp var inside parens.

// THIS CRASHES
myFunc( ...CONSTANT );
// THIS WORKS
myFunc( ...( $temp = CONSTANT ) );

It would be interesting to know what exactly is crashing.  Is it validation, code hints, parsing?  Maybe some preference setting could bypass it.

Anyway hope this helps someone or even better gets patched soon .  Thanks again!
