Extension dependencies

vaprog

I have some trouble designing an extension in AL.

My extension uses a field of a certain table in it's code (which happens to be in the OnPreReport trigger of a reportextension object) [App 3].

The field is defined in a tableextension object in a different app [App 2].
The table is defined in yet another app [App 1].

I defined the dependencies to [App 1] and [App 2] in App.json.

The IDE resolves all symbols and does not show any warning or error in the editor. I can generate the app using Build... (SHIFT+CTRL+B).

I cannot run the object with or without the debugger in the sandbox (F5 / CTRL+F5), and I cannot install the app by uploading it. In either case I get the error

AL0132: 'Record "Item Lifecycle Status"' does not contain a definition for 'Completely Blocked'

where "Item Lifecycle Status" is the table defined in [App 1] and "Completely Blocked" the field defined in [App 2].

Is there anything I can do to get the compiler recognize the field as the editor does?

I have seen this happening a few times, and sometimes restart VS Code, and sometimes re-creating my local repository kind of solved the issue.

I never found a real solution or the real reason behind it.

Hi,

thanks for your report.

What do you mean by re-creating the local repository? I have tried re-downloading symbols. Is that, what you mean, or is it something else?

I usually work with DevOps repositories, so, my source code is usually under Source control.... So, what I did was to actually delete all the folders from my computer, and Clone the DevOps repository again on my computer.... Do you use source control, like DevOps or GitHub?

I don't use source code management for the extensions involved here. But the problem is certainly not in any source code corruption. There might by something missing in a source file, or in a configuration file. But if it does, it is because I never knew about it, not because something was changed or deleted.
