Ace Editor - Go to line

I'm trying a fairly simple operation with Ace Editor: having the editor jump to a particular line. I can't get it to work, though!

See this jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Xu9Tb/

var editor = ace.edit('editor');

editor.scrollToLine(50, true, true, function () {});
    // Doesn't do anything at all

editor.gotoLine(50, 10, true);
    // Will move the caret to the line, but it will not scroll
    // to the editor to the line if it's off screen

Any advice?

Thanks.

Solution

  • There appears to be a bug in the current version of Ace Editor. If you manually call editor.resize(true), it will recalculate the height and the scrolling functions work correctly:

    var editor = ace.edit('editor');
editor.resize(true);

editor.scrollToLine(50, true, true, function () {});

editor.gotoLine(50, 10, true);
