Compilation Stuck with SDK 4.2.x

doubleoseven1986 over 2 years ago

Dear all,

I'd like to update my app (a SimpleDataField) to support newer devices and therefore had to switch to SDK 4.2. Currently I'm using 4.2.4, but have also tried with other versions instead. When trying to compile the project (no matter if choosing "Run without debugging" or something else), the compilation begins but never ends nor gives an error message - up to now tested with up to ~ 30 min of runtime. Introducing an artificial error makes the compiler fail as expected, but the correct source code which compiles fine using 4.1.x never gets finished with the newer version. I'm running on an Intel MacBook, but have also already tried with an ARM iMac, with the same result. VS Code is up to date, and I've also already tried to run it directly on the command line.

I've already checked the forum but couldn't find a thread with the same issue. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Markus

Are you sure it's "stuck"? Any errors while compiling, or anything in the debug console? Starting with the 4.1.6 SDK type checking is on by default. Is your code set up for type checking…

Yes, it was really stuck, without any output at all. But your hint with the type checking helped, thanks a lot! Although it's strange because even when setting it to "Strict" it now works. Anyways, as long as it works I'm happy.
