Acuminator

Acuminator is a static code analysis and colorizer tool for Visual Studio that simplifies development with Acumatica Framework. Acuminator provides diagnostics and code fixes for common developer challenges related to Acumatica Framework. Also, Acuminator can colorize and format BQL statements, and can collapse attributes and parts of BQL queries.

Diagnostics and Code Fixes

In the code based on Acumatica Framework, Acuminator finds common mistakes and typos that are usually not so easy to find, such as the following:

• Incorrect signatures of PXAction handlers
• Typos in the names of view delegates
• PXStringList declarations without PXDBString
• C#-style inheritance from PXCacheExtension

For the errors it finds, Acuminator suggests code fixes. For the full list of supported diagnostics and code fixes, see Acuminator Release Notes.

Code Coloring, Formatting, and Outlining

Acuminator colorizes and formats BQL statements, which improves the readability of long BQL queries. You can adjust the colors in the Visual Studio settings.

Acuminator can collapse parts of BQL queries and the code inside attributes to small tags, which makes it easier for you to focus on the parts of code related to the current task.

Code Navigation

Acuminator can navigate between an action and its handler, and between a data view declaration and its delegate.
