Minted in new environment

Question

I tried to create a new environment in which I wanted to use minted. Somehow it didn't really work and I found these two posts: 1. 2.

I then copied the code and tried to modify it for my needs. I want to be able to use \begin{code}{label}. This is what I have:

\newenvironment{code}[2]
{\VerbatimEnvironment
\minted@resetoptions
\setkeys{minted@opt}{frame=lines}% from fancyvrb
\renewcommand{\minted@proglang}[1]{#1}
\begin{figure}[htp]%% default placing
    \centering
    \label{#2}
    \begin{VerbatimOut}{\jobname.pyg}}
    {\end{VerbatimOut}
    \minted@pygmentize{\minted@proglang{}}
    \DeleteFile{\jobname.pyg}
\end{figure}}
\makeatother

I get several "FancyVerb" errors and undefined control sequences.

EDIT

Basically I want to define a new environment that produces the following:

\begin{minted}
    [
    frame=lines,
    framesep=2mm,
    linenos,
    label=TestLabel
    ]
    {java}
    while(true){
    //Do stuff
    }
    \end{minted}

by just using \begin{code}{TestLabel}...\end{code}

You seem to be missing a makeatletter - check the source of your copy/paste. — Ethan Bolker, Dec 10 '16 at 15:25
It would help if you would add the errors you got to the question. — Martin Schröder, Dec 10 '16 at 15:42
Welcome to TeX.SX! Please make your code compilable (if possible), or at least complete it with \documentclass{...}, the required \usepackage's, \begin{document}, and \end{document}. That may seem tedious to you, but think of the extra work it represents for TeX.SX users willing to give you a hand. Help them help you: remove that one hurdle between you and a solution to your problem. — Martin Schröder, Dec 10 '16 at 15:43

I think you're overcomplicating things:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{minted}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\newenvironment{code}[4][htp]
 {\VerbatimEnvironment
  \begin{figure}[#1]
  \centering
  \caption{#3}\label{#4}
  \begin{minted}[frame=lines]{#2}}
 {\end{minted}\end{figure}}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1]

\begin{code}{latex}{A caption}{label1}
Test of \LaTeX code
\end{code}

\lipsum[2]

\begin{code}[bp]{latex}{A caption}{label2}
Test of \LaTeX code
\end{code}

\lipsum

\end{document}

Another version, where the argument refers to label=; I also changed figure into the more proper listing environment.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{minted}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\newenvironment{code}[2][htp]
 {\VerbatimEnvironment
  \begin{listing}[#1]
  \centering
  \begin{minted}[frame=lines,framesep=2mm,linenos,label=#2]{java}}
 {\end{minted}\end{listing}}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1]

\begin{code}{Code 1}
while(true){
    //Do stuff
}
\end{code}

\lipsum[2]

\begin{code}[bp]{Code 2}
while(true){
    //Do stuff
}
\end{code}

\lipsum

\end{document}

Thank you @egreg but there are some things I wanted to change: I always want to use java ( I tried to change the #2 into java) And I also don't want to set a caption (only a label). Also I noticed that the linespan is too small and the label is not showing. how would I change that? – jobr97 Dec 12 '16 at 14:44
@jobr97 Setting a label without a caption is useless. – egreg Dec 12 '16 at 14:54
but if I define a label in the options it shows up on top of the code block... I added an example to my post – jobr97 Dec 12 '16 at 14:59

@jobr97 I see nothing. Without a caption, the label will refer to whatever is the last number generated, so the result of \ref would be unpredictable. – egreg Dec 12 '16 at 15:08
now It should be visible – jobr97 Dec 12 '16 at 15:20
@jobr97 I added a new version, which should be what you want. – egreg Dec 12 '16 at 15:25
