New 'Void' error message on latest SDK

Hi,

On a working project, I've just started to get the following error:

Invalid '$.Toybox.Lang.Method(info as Any) as Any' passed as parameter 2 of type '$.Toybox.Lang.Method(loc as $.Toybox.Position.Info) as Void'.

On the following line

Position.enableLocationEvents(Position.LOCATION_ONE_SHOT, method(:onPosition));

With the following function, if it helps

    function onPosition(info)
    {
    	if (info != null)
    	{
	        _location = info.position.toDegrees();
	        weatherGet();
        }
    }

And lots of other similar messages.... Project has been ok for about 7 years, including a recent move from Eclipse to VSC.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Chris

the 4.1.6 and 4.1.7 SDKs have type checking on by default, and you'll get a bunch of messages from type checking unless you make changes for it.

You can turn off type checking on a per project basis…

You can turn off type checking on a per project basis by adding this line to your monkey.jungle file

project.typecheck = 0

Try that and see if it helps.

function onPosition(info as Toybox.Position.Info) as Void

Notice he said "lots of other similar issues" and "ok for 7 years". Fixing one line in a 7 year old app probably won't do much.

for legacy apps, adding the line to the project's monkey.jungle makes it easy to only use type checking in newer apps

jim_m_58 is right. I have 50 projects in the store, and I am working through moving them from Eclipse to VSC, so an easy solution (using config) helps me make this first pass. I can then go through and add the type checking.
