Delphi 11.1 IDE - Control + Click doesn't open FireDAC units

[Michael Riley 0]

I just installed Delphi 11.1 Professional. I opened one of the sample SQLite projects:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\Samples\Object Pascal\Database\FireDAC\Samples\DBMS Specific\SQLite\OnUpdate

 

None of the FireDAC units open I [Control]+Click on them.

 

Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?

How do I get the FireDAC source files to open on [Control] + Click?

Check if $(BDS)\source\data\firedac is in your browsing path: Tools->Options->Language->Delphi->Library->Browsing path.

Does the folder exist on disk?

If you [Ctrl]+[Enter] on a FireDAC unit in the uses, does that open the file?

Yes $(BSD)\source\data\firedac is in the browsing path.

Yes the folder exists on disk.

No. [Ctrl] + [Enter] does not open FireDAC units.

 

I just uninstalled Delphi 11.1 and I am trying a fresh install.

I have a "love", "hate" relationship with Delphi. Right now this is the "Hate Delphi" part.

Okay, if that doesn't resolve the problem I suggest you try using SysInternal's ProcMon to determine what's going on. Filter on bds.exe and enable the trace just before you do a [Ctrl]+[Enter].

Unfortunately not at all. Professional does not contain FireDAC files!

That makes no sense to me at all.  I just looked at my Delphi 10.4 Professional install and all the FireDAC source files exist.

Thank you. I did a fresh install of Delphi Professional and the only FireDAC source files I see are:

FireDAC.Phys.pas

FireDAC.Phys.SQLGenerator.pas

FireDAC.Phys.SQLPreprocessor.pas

 

I don't understand why my Delphi 10.4 install has all the FireDAC source files.

I just checked my Pro installations and both 10.4 and 11.1 only have the three source files you listed. For the other FireDac units only the DCUs are there.

The latest Feature Matrix lists full FireDac source code as Enterprise /Architect edition only.

Doesn't the trial come with full source... Asking for a friend 🙂

Thank you Peter. 
There must be something going on with my specific situation. For years I purchased the Enterprise license of Delphi. Starting with version 10 of Delphi, I downgraded to the Professional license. For some reason I have all the FireDAC files in my 10.4 folder.  Now, the latest Delphi 11 Professional install only has the three FireDAC files I listed. I also saw the Feature Matrix and saw the same reference you pointed out.

It is OK. Unfortunately, this has always been the case.
